Make it Monday #132


This week we have to use layered die cuts on the Make it Monday feature by Papertrey. The talented Dawn McVey explains in a tutorial how to do that. She has some valuable tips on how to make this as easy as possible!




I used a paper swatches from Home Depot  for this card. Since it was kind of drizzly and cloudy yesterday, I opted for a sunny yellow. 


Supplies: Papertrey Rickrack border dies and Filigree Border Die, Papertrey Think Big Favorites, gems. 

I frequently use paper swatches for my cards. They have great colors and you immediately get matching colors in the same color group. On Operation Write Home Nancy talks about those swatches and you can link up your card.

Hm - I am wondering if this could be put into the Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground, because of my use of paint swatches??? I'll let Diane decide that....

And lastly I am linking this up with the Die Cut Divas - Let's celebrate challenge

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
