More Cute Critters!

Hello Stamplings!

How ya doin'? September is such a beautiful month, but the weather can still be unpredictable. I hope you are somewhere clement and having fun!

I'm featuring dies on this second Monday of the month.

I love the way this little Colorado Craft hamster fits so perfectly into the sensational NBUS Scripted Sediment from The Greetery! (I'm glad the guys are at the neighbors so they won't think I'm showing favoritism by only using one of the hamster die-cuts. Ssh!🙊)

The NBUS coverplate die is called, "Aida Cloth Texture Plate," also from The Greetery. I added a little heart for punctuation and then blended a corner border on opposite corners to draw your eyes into the focus-pocus center.

This creation has a bit of this and that and a schplash of ah ha. It started with a simple white die-cut circle I found in my stash. The circle had a light inner rim of pink all around the inside edge. I have no idea why, but there it was. Over the course of several days, I tried arranging /filling the circle with flowers or words and nothing was happening until I realized the white circle fit perfectly into a larger black circle panel, which I found lounging about in another corner of my stash.

After putting the circle panel and card base together, I went back to figuring out what to put in the circle. Recently, my friend Karen used her NBUS Harvest Mouse set from My Favorite Things on a darling card, which reminded me that I also have that set ~ neglected and unloved since 2015. (It's so nice that our products don't have expiration dates!) I thought this little guy from the set fit perfectly in the circle and from his sweet expression, a get-well sediment seemed appropopo!

Die Cut Divas: Sympathy

Getting Inky!

Hello Stamplings!

How are you? I hope you had a wonderful week! 

I'm starting to picture the days of the week as bowling pins being knocked down by some rapid-fire world-class bowler! You have to admit it's hard to suck every ounce of fun out of each day when you're ducking bowling balls! 🎳

Sorry, there was no need for such a violent analogy. I'll just stick with the gentle art of card-making! Haha, we all know how violent that can be what with scissoring, squashing, slashing, stamping, scoring, stapling, stitching, and schplattering!

For this card, I CASEd myself using a card I made back in May 2020. The stamp is Banners & Blooms from Concord & 9th. After white heat-embossing the image, I painted the flowers with my Ziggies. The simple sediment is from Avery Elle.

In an effort to use more pp, I chose this watercolor plaid as a perky background. No winking of the flowers this time because the lads are staying with the neighbors while we are whooshing around and drinking at the famous bar, Hither And Yon.

And here we have a very QACAS card. I found the skyline stamped on a white panel in BOB. I have no idea what stamp I used at the time and I no longer own it. Just to be different, I masked the panel with a strip of tape and ink-blended a rainbow-colored sky. A sediment and some bling and walla: Rainbow City!

Enjoy your week! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!* 

Watch out for flying bowling pins!
