Scrolly Heart

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today.

Hi Tutti fans!

Today it's all about the pretty

Scrolly Heart die.

I have three cards to share with you, 

each and unique in their own way.

My first card doesn't take much explaining,

designer paper background,

nesting stitched circle cut from designer paper,

die cut scrolly heart from white card

and a ribbon bow and purchased flower.

For the second card I used a heart background, then a doily die cut

with the scrolly heart die over that.

I also added a gingham washi tape at the bottom

and an embossed red butterfly.

For the last card I embossed one side and used a gingham paper on the other.

I added a Nesting Stitched Heart

and my Scrolly Heart on that...

it fit nicely.

Of course I also added a fun purchased flower.

This is one of those dies that can be used for many occasions...

birthday~wedding~valentine~OR 'just because'!

Funny Masculine Card.

I have a funny masculine card today.

I used a Tutti Designs die (which is now discontinued).

The sentiment is computer generated.

Not much to say about it as it is pretty much all dies.

I saw that Watercooler Wednesday is ATG Masculine

so that is where this card is going!!

Newly Acquired

The Sisterhood of Crafters has a new challenge starting today

and is being hosted by our 'sistah'  Katy

and she has chosen the theme of 

'Newly Acquired Stash'.

Well, I have to say this was a HARD one for me
as I did a lot of 'after Christmas sale shopping'
and have acquired several new things!

One of my latest is this adorable stamp/die set from Lawn Fawn.
I have been very upset of hearing of all of the animals
lost in the devastating fires in Australia
and seeing all the pictures and could not get
the Koalas off my mind so I purchased this cute set.

The background die I used is from My Favorite Things Peek-A-Boo Window.

This is a pretty fun die as it cuts the square out of the center

leaving the stitching on the  outside

perfect for making a shaker card too!

I popped my Koala up giving a bit of dimension.

We have FOUR NEW  'sistahs' joining us

so please pop on over to The Sisterhood 

and see all the fun and amazing inspiration from my 'sistahs'!!

Stitched Heart Flower Stems

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today.

Hi Tutti fans, today I have three cards using the

Stitched Heart Flower Stem die ...plus!

This die is so fun to use and will make wonderful cards

for about any occasion.

I know some think that hearts are just for Valentines

but that just isn't so, as our world needs more love

and what better way to express that but with a few hearts!!

For the first card I used a gingham background and

die cut my heart stems from a patterned paper...

so much detail in this with all the stitching on each little heart!

Of course I had to add a matching bow to finish off!

The second card IS more for Valentines...

I used a heart background paper then die cut

the heart stems twice, once from red card

and once from bright blue metallic

then layered them.

I also used another fabulous Tutti Designs die

Love Heart Edge, also cut from the same blue metallic.

This time I added a bright blue bow.

The third and last card I once again used a gingham

background paper.

I die cut two different size Tutti Designs Banners

then layered one on the other for my

Heart Stems to 'rest' on.

Another bow was added...

I know by adding bows it adds to the postage to mail,

but if you are like me,

I don't mind spending the extra to mail a special card to a special someone!

I will be back NEXT Tuesday and all through February 

every Tuesday using more of the many Tutti Designs Heart dies!

Paper Sweeties January 2020 New Release Party!

HI there!
It's release time for Paper Sweeties meaning that the new January Sweet Kits
are now ready for purchase!
This kit is loaded with supplies and today I am using the
We Go Together Stamps and Sweet Cuts dies.
all links to this kit and a bit of info are listed below.

I started out by using a strip of parchment paper
and running it through my crimper.
I always save my strips of paper when I trim my papers
as you never know when they might come in handy...
like this pretty pale pink strip
that I stamped part of the sentiment on.
I also punched a circle for the second part of the sentiment.

I added the cute cup and donuts
all popped up at various levels.
I used a glitter pen to add  'sprinkles' to each donut.
To finish and to add a bit more sparkle I added three
Raspberry Sequins.

Make sure to head on over to the Paper Sweeties blog
and see all the fabulous creations from the team...
Here is the list of links to help you hop along!

Happy Birthday Butterflies

Today is a new challenge theme at

Dies R Us

and it couldn't be any easier as it is

Happy Birthday!

I know I can certainly always~always use birthday cards

how about you?

My card came together super easy using a

NEW Tutti Designs die

'Asian Screen' as my focal point.

I die cut just a small part of it in white to capture the bottom butterfly

and again for the hearts in the top right butterfly

then pieced them in.

I added a fun birthday banner using Lawn Fawns Wavy Sayings Stamps

and Fancy Wavy Banners dies.

I added a few gems and my card was done.

Balloons Challenge

It's a new challenge at Double D today and our theme is
'BALLOONS'

Look at the pretty AND bright mood board we have

I toyed with the idea of stamps/dies and regular balloons/hot air balloons.

But then I remembered I had just purchased this fun 
Animal Party Bus die from Cottage Cutz!
Wowzers, what an 'operation' this was...
31 tiny pieces in all...
but I don't think it could be any cuter.
These party animals just make me smile!!

 I had a few little mishaps along the way, but all in all they turned out pretty cute!

Love Butterfly Frame

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today

Hi Tutti Fans!!

today I have three cards using the gorgeous

Love Butterfly Frame.

This is such a beautiful die and can be used for any occasion!

The first card is made in totally white....

wouldn't this be an amazing wedding card?

I added an embossed swirl background and three white

purchased flowers.  

The die itself was cut in a shimmery white card stock...

luscious!!

The next card is for a friend.

I once again embossed a background, die cut a heart opening

then added the love butterfly frame around it.

I added a sentiment and gem heart in the heart cutout

and a bit of 'lace' trim at the bottom.

Last but not least I simply once again used a swirl embossing folder,

then simply added foil strips down the side and die cut the frame from foil as well.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards today and I have given you

three different ideas for inspiration using this 'must have' die.

Bubbles~Bubbles~Bubbles

I once again took a little time to myself

and had fun creating a card for the new theme

'Bubble Bath Day'

at 

Day of the Month Card Club!

I am not sure of you are familiar with this challenge

as it is a relatively new one that I discovered

a while back.

When I saw this challenge I had to really put my thinking cap on

and then remembered I had an old Stampendous stamp (2006) 

'Relaxing Bubbles'

with a bunny in a tub in my House Mouse drawer of stamps.

I also had a Deep Red stamp that looks  like bubbles to me

but is labeled Water Droplets Background.

I used the brand new Tutti Designs Stitched Hexagon 

to stamp my bunny on and colored her/him with Copics.

The sentiment is an old SU

and the background paper is Kaiser 'On This Day'.

Here is a closeup of this cutie!!

It feels so good to use some of these older stamps and supplies

right along with the new!

As well as entering the challenge above,

I will also be entering in the following challenges!
