Thinking of You and Smiling

Today I'm playing along at Just Add Ink where this time they want you to add a stencil or a die or both. I'm all about the die cuts so that's my choice for this challenge!
My card started with the Pink and Main Floral Frame stamp. This is one big stamp meant to cover an A2 panel. I thought it was so pretty, but I didn't feel like coloring so I turned to embossing. I knew GOLD was the way to go and decided to add it to teal blue paper.
I added lots of layers to this one. Scallops under the embossed panel, and a Double Stitched Heart topper.
That sweet sentiment is from the same stamp set as the pretty floral frame. I love that the set has everything you need to make a card... the large stamped image as well as several sentiments. There's also a coordinating die cut for the frame.
Gotta love that gold embossing. It really takes everything to the next level!   Thanks for stopping by! The weekend is almost here! I hope you enjoy it!

Hello Spring Blooms

Hi friends! Today I'm playing at Craft Rocket Challenges where this time it's about FLOWERS! Flowers are my favorites so COUNT ME IN!

This is the new Watering Can Shaker from Pretty Pink Posh. I didn't use it as as shaker. just a die cut watering can that I filled up with flowers from the Stitched Spring Flowers die set.

The background is a Scallops Pierced Plate that adds lots of yummy texture, and the sentiment is from the Spring Blooms Stamp Set.
I had fun stacking and arranging the beautiful blooms and wish you could see this one in person. It's just HAPPY!
I hope you find some time to play because we all need some flowers! And if there are none outside lets make our own!

How've You Been?

Today I'm playing at A Cut Above where it's always about the die cuts. Die cuts are always my favorite. It's been years, but it's still magic to put a piece of paper in my die cut machine, turn the handle, and WOW! An intricate cut design on the other side!
I had along night. Maybe you did too? How about a little pick me up to get you going and remind you that there's still some simple pleasures left to enjoy!
The Cozy Mug die set from Pink and main comes with the mug, heart, marshmallow, whipped cream and chocolates.. or are they biscuits? You decide! The sentiment is from the coordinating Grande Sized stamp set and has lots of punny coffee themed sentiments.
My background is part "Swirly" dry embossed, and part plaid die cut background meant to look like a tablecloth. I stacked some oval die cuts to look like a saucer. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of On The Town Gems. I love them!
Hugs to you! I hope you're week is off to a great start!
