Inspired by Friends

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Last fall I was inspired by my friend Michele's die cut Chrysanthemum Washi die cuts.

She is so generous and sent me some to play with.  You can see the cards I made here.

I had so much fun with those die cuts that I couldn't talk myself out of ordering 

some of  that beautiful Washi tape and the die.  I order the Dahlias and quickly sent 

some die cuts to Michele.  I also sent some to Marcia and Bobby and 

asked them to inspire me with their Dahlia Die Cuts.

I had to play too!

For my first card, I started with a base embossed with the Deco Hot Foil Plate

that's also from Pinkfresh Studio.  

I added a gold diamond frame and just popped the largest image from the

Washi Tape on top.  I pulled out a foiled sentiment that seemed to work well.

Can you see the gold highlights in the Washi images?

This next card has some Hot Foiling done with the Essential Duo Lines Circle Plate

that was in my NBUS box.  After foiling, I die cut the card front and used some

scraps of foam to lift the frame.  I stamped and embossed a sentiment in the center

of the circle, and added another of these beautiful die cuts to the card front.

This Washi Tape and the dies make beautiful cards very quickly.

I'm eyeing some more of their designs and trying hard not to order more before

I use this roll up.  I think you'll be seeing more cards using this Washi very soon.

Now, I hope you'll go visit these wonderful, creative friends if you haven't 

already seen their cards.

I can't wait to see what they did!

Darling Viola

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I was the lucky winner at Can You Handle the Pressure recently

and put that embossing folder to quick use!

I was able to get two cards out of one embossed panel.

Both cards are very similar and use the sweet Darling Viola die that has

four petals to mimic the embossed flowers.

In both cases I die cut from Mixed Media paper and colored with my

newly discovered Arteza Twimarkers.

He is Risen

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Wishing you a joyful Easter.

1. Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Alleluia!
   Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
   Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
   Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply, Alleluia!
2. Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
   Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
   Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
   Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

   Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
   Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia!
   Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!

Butterfly and Blooms

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've been seeing butterflies.  Outside and inside.

My favorite way to do backgrounds these days is with a 3D embossing

folder, colored cardstock and white ink.

This time I used kraft cardstock and the ink direct from the inkpad to

the raised images.

The butterfly was hot foiled on mixed media paper and watercolored

using re-inker.

Then I went over it with Wink of Stella.

It is VERY sparkly and shiny!

Color Hues #61:  Peach & Kraft

Triple B:  Birds, Butterflies, Blooms

Stamps:  

Ink:   Whisper White, Peach Parfait re-inker

Paper:   Mixed Media (Strathmore 400 series), Kraft (MFT)

Easter Bunnies

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I belong to a Craft Group where five of us gather monthly to do a craft.

This month we played with bunnies.  Here are the three cards that came from 

this playtime.

First up....

With pretty paper behind the cutouts and some sponged sky all framed up

in a mini slimline frame.

and....

A single plaid bunny eyeing the sentiment from my stash.

Finally....

I love this happy die.  The bunnies are frolicking in the tall grass.

I'm not sure what some of these supplies are.  

Challenges:

Inkspirational #286 - Mood Board (Inspired by colors, eggs)

Krafty Chicks - ATG

Tic Tac Toe - Right Column (Die Cuts, Pastel, Easter)

  

Enjoy!
