Thursday April 2nd

 While I am still sitting here..... I will share another collection of Easter cards. Easter as it really was. No bunnies here...  Waffle Flower Resurrection silhouette stamps. Ink blended the backgrounds, then over-stamped the colors. 












Really liked the black & white. Hope you enjoyed.


Thanks for looking!

 Happy Spring!  Al said it was supposed to be 80 degrees here next week. So maybe happy summer! And of course, a Happy Easter weekend to everyone. Have some fun 'bunny' cards to show today. Waffle flower postal collage stamps, stencils & dies. 

                     The stenciling first is the key. Makes it so easy!



Wanted to make more, but, I just moved on. The bunny card, rather the bunny is an old stamp. The eggs are dies. 
Waffle Flower little chicks and eggs.


Thanks for looking!

Wednesday March 18th

 Good Morning! I will make this a quick share with some miscellaneous cards from various companies. Lets get started!

               Used a stencil on the cup. Just okay. Better up close.
                     Penny Black 'cup' die & magnolia or tulip stamp set.

Designer paper cut in strips. Memory box butterfly

Actually love this card. Tim Holtz background & flower die Metallic paper under the background. 
I was having trouble finding a place to photograph without a ton of shadows. 


Love this Spellbinders arched die set. Again the flower is the same Tim Holtz die. 
Designer paper only on the card below. It is a 'stamping up' card idea. 5.5x8.5 score on 8.5 side at 1.25 & 4.25. Fold the 1.25 back on itself. Yes. so easy. Cut 2 Dsp strips 1x5. add one to the folded edge and one on the inside/outer edge. Hope I don't get dinged for sharing! 
Wait, I added a 3x51/4 piece to the center. 


Thanks for looking!!

 Still really early, same day second post! This is one of Spellbinders club dies. Once I started making cards, I couldn't stop! And I would go back and do more anytime! Spellbinders fan dies. 




                            As much as I love these dies, I hate what the manufactures do in NAMING the products. I just spent a half hour scrolling through Spellbinders looking for the 'proper' name of this die so my readers could find it. Just call it a FAN. NO, they called it 'sunny stems'. Who knew. This happens alot and can you tell I am annoyed. 




Sunny Stems. Yeah.

                                         Thanks for looking! 

                                                     Mary      

 Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today, finally today, March 15th already, and first post! Oh no, and NO green!

Just sharing a couple card collections made last month. First up Concord & 9th 'quilt block' die. 

          The whole die intact with about 5 different colors inlaid. Using the pieces is more fun!

Endless possibilities!


Thinking there is another one of these cards. Can't find it! Maybe soon.....

Thanks for looking!

 Quickly, this is an extension of the Simon Says Club kit. These are the stencils with the ink blended in each space. Note the stamp set has the bold shapes that you can just stamp. Haven't used them yet!
