Pain in the butt cards


These cards were originally for aMAZEing adventure frog's Summer Craft & Swap.  I had problems with the cards and sent them for the Autumn swap instead.  

I like Life is Good images and carved up my stamp of hiking boots.  I was not happy with how the text turned out.  I decided to just stamp the boot and print out text.  

I participated in a Tim Holtz LTC swap recently and discovered this wrinkle technique.  HERE is a video of Tim doing it.  I don't have a "craft iron" so I put parchment paper over the wet paper before I ironed it.  

Autumn Craft & Swap '21: Not all who wander...

The stamp, fancy stamp paper, and embossing were done.  You think assembly would be easy.  The bottom boarder is brown texture paper.  Then I cut some Tim Holtz map paper that was supposed to be smaller, but it wasn't.  I glued the boot and text paper to the map paper and that to the brown boarder but they were the same size.  

I threw that one away and cut the paper smaller.  I got one card finished and took a break.  Then my husband pointed out that I had an error in my text.  Do you see it?  So I had to reprint it.  Thankfully they are done.
