Sunday Afternoon

Another bunch of "favorites" to show you! Today I will get right to it as it is almost time to eat again. Ha! 
These dies are from Bright Rosa, by Paula Pascual. It is easy to make stunning cards using these dies. My first is the Ferns. There are 16 dies, yes 16. There are large and small ferns, the large fern has 2 dies, one for each side, so it can be featured on the side of a card or 'stand alone'. There are 2 more 'viney' foilages and, another medium fern with an outline die. Then there are the 9 little leaves to use.

Here are some ideas!

                         Used the cut out as a stencil and mixed it with the die cut. Added greetings. The 'Thinking of you' is part of another set of dies from Bright Rosa.              

 

 

There is so many variations that you can do with these, and the fern makes any card nice for any occasion!

Hope you had a nice Sunday 

Stay Safe!

Saturday April 4th

What a beautiful day! Featuring cards from Pink fresh design studio.  I was trying to get them posted before the end of March. Sorry, I am a few days late. Hope you like their designs as well as I do!! So the first card is the Ornate banner die and the Fancy diagonal stripe die as the background. The next ones are the Ornate banner die with (my favorite), the lovely blossom stamp & dies.

   These cards show the ornate banner with the new Layered Bouquet stamp and die set.  I  used the Pink Fresh ink cubes for the colors on most of the flowers.

      Pink fresh studio just came out with new "slimline" dies. One of them is just like this inverted circle. Yes, the scalloped circle comes with 2 sizes. I am just not sure of the proper name. I cut my card to 3 3/4 x 8 1/4 and, just used the smaller of the scalloped circle dies 3 times. I was easy to line up!

                                                

                                                        
                                                                  Thanks for looking today!

Sunday

Happy Sunday! Two cards to share today. Yes, the Hummingbird stamps and dies are from Pink fresh studio. The background die is a whole other post!

     I  really thought I did more than two  of these! Can/t find the photograph this morning so I will leave you with these lovely cards!
                                Thanks for looking!
                                      Stay safe & well

Friday March 27th

Another day, more from Pinkfresh Studio!! Wait till you see the March 2020 release, wow, I just want them all!
The collection today are the Diagonal stripe and diagonal stripe with window frame dies. Both are cover dies. A lot of the demos featured a Christmas theme... Yes, would be easy to do ahead.

         The one below and (all on the plate) are the fancy diagonal stripe die with the window. I used 2 colors. The white  on the under side is actually turned upside down. Both pieces are glued together, then tiny pieces of foam mounting on the back. Pretty much all of the lines on the back. Finally attached to white base.

     The candy canes and bow are an old Spellbinders die. Notice one on the canes is positioned goofy!

              The alphabet below is the Concord & 9th Double Cut Set. It is alittle smaller than the Pinkfresh Adore alphabet. I think it is double cut too.

        My favorite, the Kelly alphabet upper & lower case set. Just bigger, you will see later when I post the banner. They work perfectly for that.

                        Had to do ONE shaker card. Its a window!!

              I don't know if I 'used' the fancy stripe die without the window. I think all of these may have the window!!

                                                    

                                                            Thanks for looking today,
                                           Be safe & healthy

Wednesday Mar 24th

Where does the time go! Sorry, but I always lament! Dawn came the first week of March. I am not sure I mentioned that, but we had a great time crafting, eating, crafting, and visiting! The corona-virus was just starting at that time, so we did get to go out to eat, and shop. Here are a couple pictures.

Then, as we all know the corona virus has taken priority over our lives for now.  Maybe more so for Dawn as she is a nurse. She is back to work now. Keep her, her family, and her team in your prayers.  

I didn't forget about the Pink Fresh Studio theme for this month. I do love the designs and versatility of their stamp, dies and papers. 
Tonight I just want to show two cards I did with the Banner die. It does come in 2 sizes with a center and side 'floret' die. So Pretty.
I made a MERRY CHRISTMAS banner that I won't photograph until I get the ribbon to go through it! It is burgandy, gold and white. Can't wait to show you. For now the next are the cards made with that die set. 

           Couldn't help showing 2 each! They are sweet. The wreath is an  older Memory box stamp.

                                              Thanks for looking!

This time I really will share some cards . Just a few. This is the Pink Fresh Studio Floral Vase stamp and die set. 

                 The Floral vase flowers are paired with the Designer frame #1. The one below is framed with the Braided Oval.

                   Used the vase with the flowers. I used the new diagonal  stripe die with this one.           

                        Really thought I did a watercolor with
      this stamp. For now I can not find it anywhere!! Maybe I will 
      go make another. This is a lovely set.
                                      

                          Thanks for  looking today & stay safe!

Thursday March 19th

Woo Hoo, we are all okay and making cards! At this time we all are thinking about things we never thought of before. I actually wondered what would happen to all my cards if something happened at our home? Better to just keep on crafting and counting our blessings. I will never get done with 'stuff', ever! Blessed with toilet paper, coffee, and crafting supplies. We didn't even have to hoard this stuff either.....Oh, dog food is was out at Walmart yesterday.

                  Meat is gone too.....Why? Maybe some will share.

              You can buy toys!! Customers were in the tp aisle, they were in the store, just not the toys.

                                              Wow is about all I can say!
