Hey! I Love You!

February is almost over, but any time is perfect to say I love you! Today I'm playing along at Dragonfly Dreams where the challenge for February is Love. I'm coming in just under the wire!

My card today features the Waffle Flower Quilted Hearts Panel. The die cuts the panel with stitched hearts and a trio of dots above the little hearts. What's neat about this panel is that it has a matching stencil so you can color the impression made from the cutting plate.

I colored my panel in shades of red, pink, and blue. I used small cosmetic brushes that made it easy!

I added a Circle Leaf Shaker cut from gold foil paper to the stenciled background and then topped it with an Oversized Hey with a gold glitter background. Don't you just love some sparkle?

A smaller label maker "I Love You" Sentiment is from the Love Letter stamp set.

Hugs to you! I hope you find some time to play today!

Snowdrops!

It looks like we're getting our April showers early here in the Midwest as it's been raining for the past few days. That makes for some messy walks with Miss Moriko and her under carriage is splattered with mud! I am starting to see some greenery peeking up from the ground and am anxious to see the first flowers of the year.. SNOWDROPS!

I'm playing along at The Paper Players with this sketch challenge.

I wish you could see this card because it has ALOT of GOLD! It starts with a gold foil background that I cut with the Waffle Flower Nesting Stitched Ovals. The die cut leaves a pretty stitched edge on the outside edge of the cut oval.

The next biggest oval in the die set is cut from gold foil paper. I layered the assembled window over a piece of cardstock that I inked with Distress in shades of green.

I colored the Snowdrops with Copic Makers and tucked them in the frame. The green inside the oval window helps the snowdrops contrast in white.

The sentiment is from the Hello Friend stamp set. I love the mixed font and that the matching die set cuts around the sentiment so it looks fussy cut.

Have a great week! I hope you find some time to play!

Spellbinders Quick and Easy Card Kit - February 2023

Have you tried one of the Spellbinders club kits yet? It doesn't get easier than this! You receive a box of coordinated supplies delivered direct to you and ready to work with. Here's a peek a this month's kit.

With the new year comes a few changes to the kit. You might notice the price is about $10 less than last year. That's because the die kit and stamp set that were included in the past will no longer be in the kit. I think this is a good idea because honestly I never really used the stamps because there are so many sentiments in the kit. I will miss the die but for the savings it seems like a good trade off.

The theme of the kits does seem appropriate for the time of year that they're released. This time of year we're looking to spring and Easter so the flowers, bunnies and other critters in the kit are perfect. The goose reminds me of a time my Grandmother brought us a goose egg for Easter. We were all so fascinated with how big it was and tried to picture a chicken that would be able to lay it!

There's also some images that are cheery reminders of home life, and that if the weather isn't cooperating you can always make your little oasis of peace and happiness at home.

There is only one sheet of each patterned paper in the kit so save those scraps. I usually cut a piece that's 4" wide for card bases and use the scrap 2" piece for borders.

I love to make cards with scenes. I was happy this kit had shades of green for hilly fields and some blue for sky!

The kit includes everything you need to make cards including card bases, solid cardstock, printed pattern paper, die cut images, stickers, a little bling and even some double sided tape and adhesive foam squares!

This little bunny in tea cup is my favorite! I thought it paired well with the pancakes and jam jar for a perfect spring breakfast!

If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you'll try one of the Spellbinder kits that are delivered to your front door. You'll find that they're a great value and will save you lots of time because you wont have to go shopping for all the prefect coordinating elements. A subscription for $29.50 a month provides a fabulous Quick & Easy Card Kit filled with LOTS of supplies to work with including a pattern paper pad, stickers, die cuts, and lots more.

Sketched Carnation

I'm playing at a new challenge today called The Flower Challenge. I love flowers wo I think this is going to become a new favorite place to play. 

This time they want us to use our latest floral stamp or die.

This is the Sketched Carnation from Waffle Flower. It's available as a stamp or as a hot foil image. The coordinating die cut will cut both because they're exactly the same. The set also has a stencil available so you can ink in the color with a blender instead of traditional coloring if you like.

I used the Nesting Stitched Ovals largest die. It's actually an A2 size rectangle with an oval cut inside. I used the next size oval with the frame to create a gold glitter oval frame.

I layered the pink and gold frame over a fancy Flourish Panel cut from white cardstock. That's layered over a soft pink cardstock panel.

The sentiment is hot foiled to coordinate with the gold glitter frame and enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!
