Today, Marines around the world pause to reflect on the illustrius history of the United States Marine Corps.  Founded November 10, 1775, we salute all who serve.   I joined the Marine Corps directly out of college.  I am still in touch with many of the ladies from our initial schooling (Called The Basic School) and we had a reunion in CA last year.  This year I mailed them each this card on the birthday.  The female Marine stamps are new from Magnussen Custom Stamps.

  This card used glitter Happy Medium in a tiny zip lock bag to make this "squishy" flower vase jar. For this card, we used three reinkers on a folded baby wipe to make our own ink pad. After I finished stamping the card, I picked. up the "ink pad" and swiped it down some extra card panels to make fun backgrounds. An easier way to do mirror stamping, using a MISTI and new mirror pads by Taylored Expressions.

 So Very Merry virtual card classes from Online Card Classes. Stamps and dies by Kristina Werner for Concord and 9th.  C9 colors:  Sprout, Oceanside, Cranberry, and Evergreen.

 I had plans during some of the Fall 25 Crop and Create classes, so I've not made all of the cards. I used the Picket Fence kit to make this fun baby card. Simon Hurley's winter themed class included new shiny sprays! Honey Bee is known for super detailed and tiny die sets!! The Man Cave set inlcudes all kinds of fun scene making pieces like a sofa, bar, bar stools, pool table (and cues and tiny pool balls), a jersey, mug of beer, dart board etc.  We used our OLO markers on colored/patterned paper to bring out the details.

 I love coloring with my OLO markers.  These cards were part of the Bonus Day Crop and Create Fall 25 with Lori Craig. I added silver foil to the floral card below.

This Altenew class for Crop and Create Fall 25 had a lot of moving pieces with four and five layer stamping in different color combos.  Worth the effort!
