 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!

Thanks for looking!

 I promised 'right now', so here we go! More cards, more favorites! This is and will be a favorite for a long time. Love this! Club kit from Simon Says stamps. I had already spent my top top dollar but on a whim, (and paypal being so easy) I ordered it. Immediately regretted it. I looked at it & thought 'this was an awesome buy', but, the cards weren't REAL collage. They were kind of cold. just shapes...... THEN, I started using them. Wow! Take a look!

                        Added small stickers for embellishment. Tiny butterflies are part of the 16 dies. 

The kit came with 16 dies & 5 stencils to use to configure your design. Came with couple papers, envelopes and the BEST set of word stamps ever!! 

 

The tops cards came with the Tim Holtz paper pad included in the kit. Then I started combining papers. Elizabeth craft #8. Oranges. 

So 5 stencils, 5 or 10 configurations! Tim Holtz paper

ECD papers, stickers rub ons......

 Micheals paper. probably old.

                                  Stamperia papers 'Dewdrop'

 Thanks for looking! Still one more to go!

 Wow! The end of February already! I could go on about how 'busy', we are, but then everyone knows we are retired! Yup, just doin' what we do! Making cards of course. I always wait until the last moment, but I do want to share these. 

    More Waffle flower stamps 'postal' designs. This is the Peony.

Now, for the butterfly 'postal' 

           Two cards with the Happy birthday cupcake. A couple things want to say here. I am happy with Ali Express and Temu. And yes, I do order. I was ordering wholesale & even that was alot more than Temu. Yes, they also have increased in price and shipping. So beware. What I really wanted to say was that while most of the products are great, the stencils for the postal collages are not. They usually won't fit the 'postal frame' format. I bought the above 'butterfly' from a craft store. The first one didn't fit at all. Well it was $3.00 (at the time), not $17. Okay. The Happy Birthday didn't fit either. I had to cut 2 cuts to make it work here. 

                      

                Thanks for looking! One more post for today right now!

Friday Feb 20th

 Good morning! Am anxious to share these cards with you. They were so easy to make and just lovely. Okay, let's get started. Waffle flower stamps, stencils and dies.

 These cards show the background stencil and dies. Both cards started with the dashed lattice texture die. It is a background die. Sort of looks like a cross-hatch. There are 3 stencils, on the left is the 'flowery' stencil placed over the texture die. The card on the right features the heart/dot stencil. Its awesome as the heart, flower designs fit perfectly inbetween the die.

The Rose Bouquet die & layered stencil set is super versatile. You could (Just couldn't, 'cause it is so pretty), cut it in half and use on top and bottom or sides... Not to mention MORE color combos!!

This is the next collection of Waffle Flower stamp designs. Stay in touch. 

Thanks for looking this morning!

It's 5:30AM FYI:
