Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
We used a different (to me) technique at the Group of Seven Cardmakers
this month. I will admit that I did some shopping to get some cover plates
that I though would work for this technique.
After seeing Julia's gorgeous blue and white card I wondered how patterned paper
would work for this technique. This pack of paper has two pieces of some designs, one
of paper and one of vellum. I used the vellum piece as the base and die cut the paper.
In hindsight, I think I would like it better if I used the darker piece as the bas ..read more

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Here's another for my Christmas stash.
My friend Nance brought this stamp to share a long time ago.
I finally got it colored and put on a card.
I've cut it with the largest die from Elegant STAX by MFT.
A few die cut and punched stars and strips of gold foil added a bit more magic.
I'm joining in with Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. - Fourth Monday Anything Goes, where she has
challenged herself. It's a good way to get inspired!

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
The Black-eyed Susan is one of my favorite flowers.
When I was a kid, the meadow behind our house was full of them in the Summer
and since they weren't in my Mom's garden, I could pick all I wanted.
These were all colored and in my UFO box. They are from a Digital Stamp by Power Poppy and I'd colored them when we were staying with our grandsons. When I got home,
I was on to something else and they were put up for later.
This one was printed in grayscale and colored with Copics.
I cut it with an elongated hexagon die and fussy cut ..read more

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
This Merry Christmas was a challenge!
I found the die on clearance but was disappointed when it came and I realized that
the letters come out separate. They did cut well from the glitter paper though.
I cut the backing from vellum but it really curled once the letters were glued on.
So it sat in my UFO box for a while.
Recently I went through a phase of either use it or lose it!
This embossed piece was also waiting for a home and the two seemed to work great.
It looks like it's crooked in this picture but I didn't notice that until just now ..read more

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I let Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. challenge slip by yesterday.
Mondays come around way too fast!
Anyway, the third Monday is Embossing Folders which I have a lot of and
love an excuse to play with them.
I die cut two of these Morning Blossom flowers from white cardstock and used
blending brushes and Simon Says Pawsitively Saturated inks to color them.
This doily embossing folder makes such a deep impression!
Thanks for giving me an excuse to pull out an old favorite embossing folder, Darnell.

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I will apologize in advance. This is from a retired stamp.
My friend Julia sent me a beautiful birthday card last year that had this quote on it.
What wonderful words to live by!
I've been hunting for the stamp since then and finally found it on Ebay.
I am excited to say that it is the real thing and didn't look like it had ever been used.
The magnolias were in my UFO box and almost made it into the trash. But they worked
great as a background for the lovely quote.
The magnolias were stamped with Memento Toffee Crunch i ..read more

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I am so blessed!
A very sweet and dear friend recently shared some of her stash with me.
Among the MANY things she sent were these Crocus Dies that I had been
drooling over wanting for quite some time.
I went right to work with them...
I had some scraps of Fresh Freesia cardstock laying around.
I die cut the two largest crocuses and a couple of buds from the Freesia and
again from green since the leaf dies are connected to the flowers.
(Personally I think they should be separate so there wouldn't be as much waste.)
Just sayin'.
I sponge ..read more

Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I found this die cut piece tucked in my UFO box and a piece of background
that I believe was a gel print using two colors of paint and a mask or stencil.
The colors were perfect for the Color Hues Challenge of
Turquoise and Green.
I've left the sentiment off since it will be in a gift box of note cards with
unattached die cut sentiments.
And a UFO twofer....
I found this flower that was die cut from a re-inker smooshed panel.
It looks turquoise IRL, but more blue in the photo. So I'll deliver this one to
The Flower Challe ..read more
