Wednesday

 Avoiding the television.... Realized I have a couple more cute cards from a couple months ago.  Spellbinders parrot & toucan. 

Playing with the streamer die and the confetti (foil) background from the Greetery. I need the 'foil' streamers too!

Hope you enjoy!

Today was the grocery shopping day. Oh joy. Every so often (not that often anymore). I try something new. Last week was coconut pancakes. The coconut was lovely, but the pancake was dense. Bad, so yesterday Al used a pancake mix and the toasted coconut. Perfect. My second failure was my Moms scratch biscuits. I have no idea, but I screwed them up!! Stay tuned for a wrapped 'rib' recipe I saw on Instagram. I will let you know if they turn out! 

Fon tonight I have only two cards to share. I like Sam Calcotts ideas, This time I bought a big 6x6 square Birthday die from Craft Stash. I made them into shaker... big... shaker cards. Hope you like!!

The die comes with the little 'add on' package, candle, balloons and more. Layers are easy to add. Actually it was easy. 

                                           Hope you enjoy!

 Wow ! I love this set. This is a large stamp set, stencil, die, beautiful papers, and a magazine. This is from Stamps by Me through HSN. I've never ordered from HSN before, but now try to stop me! Ha! I am on the outlook for all things crafty! This was such a good buy. I will send you the link. There is so much in this set. Stamps By Me Love Inspirational Magazine Kit - 22843391 | HSN.  First there are the 'dress stamps'. One is bold, one is for overstamping.. They call it lamination, and I'm not sure what that means. 

                                                 

       Don't remember the ink used for these two. Maybe one of the new Pinkfresh studio colors??

The sentiments & the little star are in the stamp set. I used blueprint sketch oxide ink, for the first layer, I inked the stamp & sprayed the stamp with water. Dry & stamp again. Not sure what I used, (maybe the blueprint sketch a second time), but I dried between the layers. The last layer on this was versamark, then embossed in gold. 

The yellow dress is on watercolor paper & has lots of layers. It was overstamped with versafine and stamped in yellow again. Trying to soften the versafine. I like how it turned out!

Above is picked raspberry oxide, & the darker color is mulled cider from Pinkfresh studio. And the outline flower is the just another way to use the floral stamps in this set. 

Same process, inking, spraying, and then overstamping.

Penny Black sentiments

Just a quick view of some of the papers.

They really are stunning

 Also in the set, you can see the cards on the front of the magazine on the left. This is the stencil set with a die included. 

Oops, the one not finished yet.

The background papers are Elizabeth Craft designs Reminiscence in the earth tones. It is beautiful, so of course, I ordered the red, blue combo.

 What I forgot in this set is the butterfly stamp, a scenic bold stamp & papers that go with the scenic stamp. So much in this set!!

Hope you enjoy this loooong post!

Stay Cool

 Hi! 5:20 AM now. This 'share' features a couple of the 'toppers' from the Polkadoodles set. These are precolored. If you hate fussy cutting, these are just basic shapes. Maybe you could find a die that would work with them. This is just four little cutesy cards, so lets get started.

                       Hope you liked these! Have a great day!

 Good Morning! Its 4:43Am & I finished an entire card. My new obsession is Waffle Flower postal cards. There are stencils for flowers, beaches, Christmas and more... BUT, that is not what I am sharing this morning. Here is a link so you can see the Waffle Flower collections before I post. https://waffleflower.com/products/postage-collage-bundle. Hope this works, if not just waffle flower.com. 

So moving along todays share was just as much an obsession last week. It is a Big kahuna kit from Polkadoodles. This big kit is a collection of digital 'ladybug' cuties... Some you color, some are done for you. I have the Winter Winnie kit from years ago. Easy to make. I think I did 12! The other digital is flower meadow. Their demo is using the center step card. And it occurred to me that I have a bunch of center steps already assembled, so the rest just fell in place! Hope you have fun looking! 

Yes, there is some fussy cutting. 

Ready for the cute ones!

 

Thanks for looking!
