Saturday July 20th

 Its an hour later and one more before the Christmas cards! I saw this idea and had to try it. So I take no credit for this one. Hopefully here is her link and great instructions  Tuesdays with Tina | 3 Cards with the Birthday Sparkle Collection | PHOTOPLAY PAPER (youtube.com)   Here we go with my cards.

                             

                                                    

                                              

                                 So far mine were the circles on the acetate, but I did use different DP. And finally different shapes

                                                 

                                                

                Now this is really it..... Ha... You can make good use of some of your scrap or designer papers laying around. 

                                  Thanks to Tina ...............

                                    Thanks for looking!

Saturday July 20th

 Good morning! Not as early as the last time I posted. About 6:00 am. My computer says 62 degrees, so sounds like it might be a nice day. Not too hot, not too cold. Diana is supposed to come over but didn't hear from her yesterday. It will be awhile before we know. We were going to take her for a haircut. Nice. I need one too! One more day of patience, then I'll start adding some Christmas cards.

               Love these stamps they are the only set I have from Pawsome stamps and sadly they are now closed. I couldn't stop stamping the cute little pandas.  

 Then I stamped the "pill better soon" stamps and couldn't help but have the panda around to wish someone well!

Think that is all for this one!

Hope you enjoy & stay cool!

Friday July 19th

 Another early early morning!  Have lots of cards to share Just one day of some random stamping, stenciling, and die cutting today. Then tomorrow we will start out fun Christmas card share for July! 

These first two cards are wooden stamps removed from the mounts and replaced with cling. These are from Northwoods Rubber stamps.

Not sure where these 'cover' dies came from. The one above might be Tim Holtz. I think the flower dies below are from Waffle Flower. Things that were half done and finished. Good feeling!

Both Penny Black Stamps and both watercolored.

Not sure about this wreath except that it is lovely in real life ??

                                                                      

                                                          Another Penny Black Stamp. 

                                   

                    These are the last ones for now. Tim Holtz sillouhette die with a blended background. 

                                                                            

                                                                   Thanks for looking!

Wed. July 3rd

 This is, as promised more of the postal collage from Waffle Flower stamps. 

              Got carried away with 3 cards. I mixed in images from other sets........too fun              

                                            

                                                     

                Gull has the bird on his head. Cute misstep.

 Made two more cards that were really versatile. One was blues, and one was oranges. The were ink blended, then stamped with the bold silhouette stamps. Think they already went out... I will have to make more............The last designs of the day are just designer (themed) papers. Assembled in the 'post' style.

                                 Old Simple Stories papers

                                    

                                       Hope you enjoyed looking!

                                  Have a wonderful, safe, 4th of July!

July 3, 2024

Happy July 3rd! Its Wednesday afternoon and all of a sudden, my screen is yellow!! Wow! Today I wanted to share my version of the Waffle Flower Postal collage dies, stencils and stamps. They are so much fun and I am super excited to buy the new Christmas selection. Lets get started before my monitor goes completely black. 

                It is July, so I started with my Christmas images.

Just scroll through the internet and find the variations. Endless

Used Christmas paper for the background on the next ones. Its a little distracting, but it does look nice. 

The next ones are the wildflower stencil

                                   

            I love this stamp set. It is Coco paradise from Photoplay.                                                       Perfect.                

This turned out to be pretty long, but I have the 'beachy' stencil set from Waffle Flower. I will continue this into another post just because of the length! 

                                        Stay Cool!
