2017 - Autism Matters Blog Hop #2

Autism Speaks

I am honored to be taking part in this Autism Awareness Blog Hope. Although I have not had anyone in my immediate family who has been touched by Autism, a few of my friends have been. 

What Is Autism?

Autism is a complex developmental disorder that that has three core features:

1)      Problems with social interations

2)    Impaired verbal and nonverbal communication

3)     A pattern of repetive behavior with narrow, restricted interests.

Autism Fact:  Autism was initially called “Early Infantile Autism” or “Kanner’s Syndrome.

Hey Chick Sale-a-bration stamp set

A quick share today of a fun card made using the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set “Hey Chick” (Wood #143328 & Clear-mount #143331) Which you can get with just a $50 product order until March 31^st.

The ‘chicken wire’ was made with the Watercolor Pencils (#141709 $16.) and the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#143231 $9).  To emboss the wire I used an dried out blender pen dipped into a dab of VersaMark refill and adding it to the deepest crevice of the folder before embossing with the big shot.  This will allow the embossing powder to stick before you heat set it..  The heart is the from the Metallic Enamel Shapes (#141678 $7)

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hugs, Karie B.

Paper Pumpkin - Feb 2017 Pull Box

Paper Pumpkin Alternative

Hello Again,

I wanted to share a quick video and a few alternative ideas for the February, 2017, Paper Pumpkin Kit.  The video is a bit rushed because…well, it’s a been a while since I’ve uploaded one to YouTube and I am working on a learning curve to remember how.

Grab some popcorn and try not to laugh at my 'floppy' demo version of the box! 

Below is the completed Pull Box

Here are the supplies and suggested card design in the kit:

 Below are photos of other alternative ideas for the February Kit:

For Him above

Two for Celebrating below

For the below card I put the words Happy Birthday To You on the "I" Block in a straight line and stamped it onto the Delightful Dejon card stock with the same color ink, then realigned the words for the oval (Stitched Shapes) sentiment in Night Of Nave ink.

Both the Above and the Below use the stamp set; Blooms & Wishes

I hope you enjoyed my crazy rushed and silly video!  More to come soon!!

Hugs, Karie Beglau
