Sweet Friend

Today I'm playing at Craft Rocket Challenge where they want you to use a die cut. This one has lots of dies and NO stamps! Just some stenciled images!
This starts with a soft pink background that is cut with the Waffle Flower Picnic Plaid texture plate. I love how it takes a plain piece of cardstock from boring to WOW!
I topped that with two Postage Cake Slice stenciled images and a great big Sweet Friend Sentiment.

If you look close you'll see I added some bitty strawberries and stars. Both are from the Table Top Add On die set.
I think this is just as sweet as can be! Just like you sweet friend!

Holiday Joy!

Today I'm playing along with at Christmas Crafts All Year Round Blog Challenge where it's always about Christmas. This time you need to select an R or S word. I'm going with S for Stocking and making with the new Spellbinders (ha ha.. another S Word) Old Fashioned Christmas Stocking die set.
This set includes it all and I mean ALL! It starts with the big stocking that you stuff with whatever you like. There are foliage dies along with an ornament, a star, sentiment strip AND that great big bow!
The top edge, heel and toe of the stocking are separate pieces, making this easy to assemble. The banner word die also includes a solid cut out so you can add a backing to color in the words.
I cut the poinsettia flowers from shades of pink so that they wouldn't compete with the stocking. The panel is light pink cardstock with a darker shade of pink matt for a finished coordinated look.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a great day and some time to play along. Any time you get a holiday card done is a good day!

Hi Bee! Happy Birthday!

Isn't it funny how one person can change your life and how you look at even the simplest things? My grand daughter recently discovered bee's and now we call her Bumble Bee! She adores anything with bees so I made her this pretty card for her birthday!
This is made with a Large Die of The Month from Spellbinders from January 24. I haven't had a chance to play with it, and this was the perfect excuse. If you subscribe to the monthly club you receive a new die set every month. If you don't subscribe you can still pick up some of the die sets at the on line store for a great price. You can find it in the store here for $40.
I love all the pretty florals in this set and YES! There is a Honey Bee too! Even the twine, and sentiment are included in the die set. Frequently the Small Die of the Month set for the same month coordinates with the Large Die of the Month set.
I die cut my card base with the jar die making this a shaped card. The flowers are cut in my honey bee's favorite colors and of course I added some sparkly gems to keep her happy!
I'm linking up to Beautiful Blossoms Challenge where it's always about beautiful florals!  I'm linking to Craft Rocket Challenges too where they want you to use dies!
