Thank you so much, Kylie for having me!  As the challenge says - ANYTHING is possible, just use your dies! This card I made with a die from Dixie Crafts. Used fun foam - love that. gives dimension in a real simple way. and it ships well. The tree under it is an iStencil - sponged in blue and added a gem. The sentiment is an ancient Hero arts stamp. Added Washi tape.  So come on and play along - that's what you can win: Linking up with: Twelve Days of Christmas Card Challenge Inkspirational - CAS with Sparkle (gem in the star) Always use Rubber - Festival Happy Die Cutting!

Hi Everyone, I am back with a card for the  Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies  challenge! You may remember that card that I made with the alcohol ink background. Well I had a lot of those butterfly cut-outs. I decided to save them and turn them into a card. Not a good idea I have to say in retrospect...would have been so much easier to just ink up some card stock, cut it with the die and then glue it on to the card. But somehow I managed. Will NOT do it again that way, but with the help of Press 'n Seal anything is possible! Added some circles, sequins and the sentiment, which I put on envelope liner paper. The stamps I used are by Happy Little Stampers ( Mix Mash ) As the challenge says - ANYTHING is possible, just use your dies!  So come on and play along - that's what you can win: Linking up with: Seize the Birthday - anything birthday, no topping for me Cut it up - summertime memories (butterflies always r...

Hi Everyone, I am back with a card for the  Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies  challenge! I die cut the New York Skyline with watercolor paper and kept both pieces together.

Added the heat embossed sentiment (STAMPlorations -  Born to Roam )  As the challenge says - ANYTHING is possible, just use your dies!  So come on and play along - that's what you can win: Linking up with: Inkspirational  - anything goes with red TIMI challenge  over at Craft Stamper - take a stamp Creative with Stamps Challenge #4 - Ink Splatters Kathy's 30 day coloring challenge  - day 3 Simon Says Monday Challenge - red, white a/o blue     Happy Die Cutting!

Hi Everyone, i am back with a card for the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies June Challenge!  As the challenge says - ANYTHING is possible, just use your dies! This card I made with a left over negative die cut from Poppy Dies I kept in my stash basically forever....

Hi Everyone, I made a birthday card for Sandie Munro from London Days - she is celebrating half a century of being on this planet - now that is one good reason to make a card! Happy Birthday Sandie!  To the next 50 years, woot, woot! Since Sandie is best friends with Kylie (who has a linky party going on her blog) I pulled out my HLS sets for this card - I just love that little ellie! Had some trouble with the color purple - not really present in my stash...did the best I could....added splatters and some Washi tape. I wish I could send that to you - you just have to enjoy it virtually;) - your card will hit the mailbox tomorrow... Linking up with: Time Out extra  - CAS with the optional twist of purple The Paper Players - wild animal Get Creative challenge - purple and one other color (yellow in the washi tape)

Hi Everyone, guess what??? I am on the Happy Little Stampers DT for Anything Goes with Dies - a monthly challenge ( I am sure you are all familiar with the HLS challenges) run by Kylie, the sweet and talented owner of those fabulous HLS stamps and dies. This is the first challenge and as already said its anything goes :)  - but gotta use your dies! So I challenged myself doing some inlaid die cutting with A Papertrey set that I got myself as a Christmas present and so far has been collecting dust.... I also did some dry embossing using a Papertrey embossing plate to give the card some texture. On the photo below you see I used shimmer card stock. The tiny sentiment is also by Papertrey So come and play along - you can win a $15 gift certificate to get yourself some lovely HLS stamps!
