Dies Series #4

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am showing another card I made using a die that I had in my stash that I have not used until now. The die on this card that I had not used before is the Gemini Peony. This set comes with the stamp and die to cut around the flowers. I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to color the peonies. The frame for the Stampin' Up saying is the Wonderful Locket die by Spellbinders. 




Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Celebrate!

Hi and welcome to my blog. We have sunshine today! We have had quite a few days of gray, so I am glad to see the sun. I am sharing a birthday card I made using one of Penny Black's wild cats. I just love these fun cats! I made a shaker card and added birthday confetti inside. I also used a background from my stash where I had used acrylic paint, stencils and stamps on it. 

At Double Trouble the challenge is to Layer It Up. I have 4 layers on this card - background, shaker window, frame, and then stamp die and sequins on the front.



Stamp:  Good Day - Penny Black
Die:  Celebrate - Pink & Main
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

I used an inked background from my stash that was inked on glossy card stock. I ran it through an embossing folder and sanded the raised numbers so that the numbers showed up white.

Dies Series #3

 Welcome to my blog! In this die series I am trying to use dies in my stash that I have never used yet! I always like to have wedding and anniversary cards ready when those occasions come up. Today I am showing a monochromatic card I made using a Spellbinders die called Flower Garden. I am not one to use all dies on a card because I also like to add some stamping, but I liked how this die stood on its own. 



I also added some flowers I had in my stash using Tim Holtz's Tattered Flower Garland die. They were colored using Twinkling H2Os. I punched some ferns to add to the flower at the top. The background was also in my stash. It was made by patting 3 different colors of cube stamp pads onto glossy card stock.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
