inked card

I am using an artist trading card I cut with an SVG file [trading cards SVG] on a Cricut Maker and then used an ink-smooching technique. You can see details of the process in the video tutorial below.

stamped

I inked an embossing folder, stamped it onto the card to create a subtle texture, and then I applied an image transfer.

final trading card

I added a 3D sticker from Dollar Tree that I inked and a few clear embellishments from Dress My Craft. The trading card is finished but I decided to turn it into a greeting card.

I’ve had early access to these new products because I worked with Artesprix at a recent trade show. There was so much excitement and buzz around the new materials at the Namta Creativation trade show. It was fun working in their booth and talking about the new products as well as testing and demonstrating them. I can’t wait for you to try them. But until then, here is the giveaway.

Coffee and Cheesecake make the perfect finish to a perfect meal. You can now get that combination in a single cup of coffee with Brooklyn Cheesecake’s Cherry Cheesecake Flavored Coffee.

My daughter and I tried the Cherry Cheesecake Flavored Coffee and found the coffee flavor savory and the aroma enjoyable. The cheesecake flavor was more subtle than we expected.

You can get it without the 310 calories and 7 grams of fat by brewing a cup of Brooklyn cheesecake cherry for some sweet satisfaction.

Rank Game

Enter to win your own copy of the Rank Game. #sponsored @therankgame

Does your family like to play games? Mine does and we often take them with us to a restaurant. The Rank Game was an easy game to take with us. At the restaurant, we didn’t play the game as instructed but used the cards to begin conversations. We found out that we knew each other pretty well (no surprise there). These cards would also be fun to take on a road trip. The Rank Game is enjoyable for a broad age range.

The basic premise of the game is to decide how your friend would answer. If you have the card Movie Genre, your friends would decide which you would choose action, comedy, drama, or scary. There are a number of expansion packs available to make the game a constantly new experience.

You can purchase your own game of Rank and with my code “JANETTRIESCHMAN” you will get 20% off the price.

Colors of Character Documentary

A must see documentary of an artist’s experience with faith, civil rights, and reconciliation. #ColorsofCharacterMIN #MomentumInfluencerNetwork #sponsored

I just finished watching “Colors of Character” for this review. Before watching, I knew it was about an artist. I felt perfect for this opportunity and could relate. Going into watching it, I assumed I would learn something more about art-making from a fellow creative. I was so wrong. “Colors of Character” was so much more.

Learning about civil rights and more about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was so interesting and unexpected. I finished the documentary just as my teenage daughter walked into the house. I asked if she had time to watch and I watched it again with her. The documentary was a series of wows that continued to build throughout the viewing. We discussed the documentary and felt there were four different discussion points: 1. Steve Skipper’s life 2. Religion 3. Skipper’s Paintings and 4. Civil Rights. One takeaway was Skipper’s statement that he credited the success of the Civil Rights Movement to all the different ethnicities that supported the cause. Without them, he felt the movement would have failed.

Synopsis:

Steve Skipper is one of the most prolific artists in the realms of sports, civil-rights, equestrian, portraiture, and Christian artwork. Skipper has shattered barriers of race and education in the art world. His works are on permanent display in some of the most hallowed halls in America, including the Pro Football Hall of Fame, College Football Hall of Fame, International Sports Halls of Fame, the Lyndon B Johnson Presidential Library and Museum, and has been honored with unveilings at Chelsea Piers in NYC, the MGM Grand and Monte Carlo in Las Vegas, and Millennium Gate Museum in Atlanta.

With no formal training, Skipper openly gives credit to Jesus Christ for his gifts and for every opportunity that he has been given. As an ex-gang member and drug addict, Skipper was transformed into an internationally respected artist.

Giveaway :: A Week Away Movie Merch.

A Week Away is the first faith-based musical of its kind. #MomentumInfluencerNetwork #AWeekAway #AWeekAwayMIN #sponsored

A Week Away is the first faith-based musical of its kind. Troubled teen Will Hawkins (Kevin Quinn) has a
choice to make – go to juvenile detention or attend a Christian summer camp. While at camp, and with the
help of his music, new friends, and love interest (Bailee Madison), he learns the healing powers of kindness, forgiveness, and faith can be found in the most unlikely of places.

This is a happy feel-good movie. To review the movie, my family sat down one evening and watched it together. Everyone, teens and adults, enjoyed the movie. The soundtrack features CCM hit songs “Baby, Baby”, “Place In This World”, “Awesome God/God Only Knows”, “Dive”, “The Great Adventure” and “Big House” from Christian artists Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, For King & Country, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Audio Adrenaline.

Soundtrack Listen Link: https://AWeekAway.lnk.to/Soundtrack0F!MIN

Legendary contemporary Christian music artists Amy Grant and Steven Curtis Chapman make cameo
appearances in the film as a camp counselor and the camp lifeguard, respectively. Amy Grant was
thrilled to be part of the film, “It was incredible. How those songs were placed felt like they were
written for the script and the story.”
