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!

 Last post for June. Maybe kind of different, but just a couple shots of where I craft most of the time. 

The inside of the closet includes various boxes, 12x12 paper shelves, and a couple iris carts. I have lots of mounted stamps.

This is the left side wall, with a couple white 12x12 paper racks, 2 bookshelves with stamps & dies in the binders and the extra 12x12's There are binders of wooden stamps we removed from the wood and put in themed binders. There is an old PSX display shelf with lots of small stamps, and 6x6 paper pads on the bottom. Two iris carts next to the window with dies and stamps, (mostly dies) on magnet sheets inside plastic folders in the drawers. Not perfect, but it works.

I made this large because I like it. The room is not large, but it is laid out so that I can move around on both sides of the table. I have my foil machine next to the Gemini (close to the window). The paper cutter, excess paper, and the Big shot all on the left side. On the right side is the glass matt, and the misty. Work space .... well maybe 6". H

                Second picture of the left side. More treasures on the floor

Right side of the room are cabinets that we purchased years ago from lowes. More binders of unmounts, more paper pads, & ephemera in the cabinets. Another Iris cart with ink by the window. More big binders and boxes with dies in them. Then the 8 1/2 x 11 paper shelf. Remember I did have a store & even now there are fixtures that I normally wouldn't have. Handy, but a lot of stuff. Add in two more iris carts that you can't see (ribbon, flowers, finished cards), then right back to the closet. I didn't mention the inks on the wall. Again, fixtures from a long time ago..

                     One more thing, I didn't clean up any part of this for the camera, this is what it looks like daily. 

                                Hope you enjoy the mess!

Sunday June 30th

 It is good evening now!! Beautiful evening, but here I sit, inside getting ready to share another selection of cards! 

              These are dies from Alex Syberia. Fantasy flowers

          Yes, the scalloped arch from Spellbinders is 'all over' the place, from bunnies, pandas, dinosaurs and finally flowers!! 

                            Another red one..............

Thanks for looking!

Have a nice night

Mary

Lucy Lou says 'goodnight'!

                                       

Saturday June 29th

 Good Saturday morning! Thinking about doing a couple 'shares'. I doubt that I will ever really catch up with photos that need to be posted. Or more photos that need to be 'photographed or edited'.. Seems to be never ending. Today I want to share a couple dies from Pocketful of Happiness. These are just universal, versatile and all around fun to make.

                       Easy little 4x4 dies that you can vary.

    Have to say it, the editing was on a piece of white 12x12 cs. No props, no extra lighting and, yes it could be much better. The card below is sideways. ugh. The one below that is correct with the 'lily'upwards. Can't get it to delete. 

                                And the white on white is lovely

 The next two cards feature Pocketful of Happiness 'flower dies' I did just keep cutting more and more of these. The slimline card idea was from Zoska. 

          

                                 Love the flower style!

                                        Hope you enjoy!
