Birdie Hello

Today I'm playing at Shopping Our Stash where this time it's all about things you would see in the sky. I'm happy to see the return of migrating birds to my area - House Finch, Blue Heron, Red Wing Blackbird and more!

Shopping Our Stash is all about reminding you to get the most of the products you already own. And in today economy that's always a good thing - to take care of what you have and make it last longer. Make wise investments in things that you love so they stay timeless.

My card starts with a Distress Oxide blended background. Sometimes I just make panels with different color combinations and put them to the side to wait for the perfect design. I topped the panel with a Quatrefoil panel from Waffle Flower Crafts. I intentionally added some of the negative die cut pieces so that the birds wouldn't get lost in the busy background.

Next I added branches with the Hibiscus Branch die set. I alternated the color of the leaves to add some depth and dimension to the design.

The Birdie Duo is a die cut and stencil set. I inked the birds with Distress Ink and then added some accents with a white gel pen. The sentiment is from the Paper Hug set. I love the mixed font and how the dies fussy cut the sentiments.

So keep looking up! You never know what you'll spot!

Spring Greetings

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! The weather is crazy here in NW Indiana. One day you need a winter coat and the next your digging out shorts! I guess that's what we can expect from SPRING!

Today I'm playing along at Addicted to Stamps and More where this time they want you to use a stamp or a die on your project. That's easy right?

My card starts with a background of die cut Stacked Edges dies from Pretty Pink Posh. I love them because they fit together like puzzle pieces and lay completely flat. You can customize your look just by switching up the colors or perhaps keeping them all the same to create a faux cover plate.

The Potted Daffodils are perfect for me this time of year because I have inspiration from the real thing growing just outside my door. I used some layered Scallop Circles to create a focal point. These are retired, but the Eyelet Circles would look great too!

I hope you find some time to play along! Enjoy life!

Pink & Main April Release Instagram Hop and Freebie Alert

The April release from Pink & Main is here! This month features a theme that’s a mix of books and bows - two of our favorite things! In addition to the usual stamps, dies, foiling products, patterned papers, and more, we are also introducing two fun new products! First, a cute & PINK (of course!) Magic Anti-Static Tool to use when heat embossing. And also a new Foil It Paint & Splatter product, similar to the Paint & Splatters we released last month, but this one enables you to paint on or flick splatter to be foiled with our CheerFoils and Minc machine!

These are the new Page Turner critters! The set includes lots of cute critters getting their read on. I couldn't fit them all on one card! I love that the stamp set includes sentiments so everything you need to make a card is in one stamp set.

The papers are new too! This paper pack is called Sunrise! I love the mix of coral, gold aqua and navy. It's a fresh take on primary colors.

The images are clean line and easy to color and yes there is a coordinating die set to fussy cut the images for you. The finishing touch is a few gems to add some sparkle to the design.

And now the part you've been waiting for!!!
