From All Of Us

We have a fun new challenge theme for the next two weeks at
Double D  and it is Books/Bookmarks and/or Postage/Postal.

We also have a fun inspiration board plus plenty of beautiful
inspiration over on the DD blog.

As you have probably seen on my blog before I love the Waffle Flower

postage dies, stencils ands stamps, am very addicted to them and have several now.
The one I am using today is Postage College Rose stencil, my first time using it

and I have to say it was one of the easiest with only three layers!  The stamps are

also WF Postage College stamp set, other then the sentiment which is

Spellbinders Betterpress.

I used the Distress ink colors listed in one of the WF samples and was happy
with the mix.  They are Distress Peeled Paint, Rustic Wilderness, Barn Door,

Aged Mahogany and Scattered straw.

We would love to have you come and join us at Double D

with your take on our challenge!!

Congratulations

Hello friends it's once again time for a new challenge at 
Stencil Fun and if you really want to be challenged our
OPTIONAL theme is Vines/Vinery
but you can always use ANYTHING Goes as long as your stencil is featured!

What I had planned to use I couldn't as it required a 
spray, not ink and each of my NEW sprays(that I have had a long time) were clogged and I made a mess trying to clean
the nozzles, so I finally gave up and started over.
It was very frustrating as each of the three bottles I tried
has never even been opened, that taught me a lesson,
to not buy any more of those products.
For my vinery card I used an Ink 3 Leafy Forest stencil.
inked with Dew Drop Bamboo Leaves ink.  In my stash I
had a piece of WF postage I used for a base for my SB
pre-made flowers, an embossed butterfly, also from my spare parts
and a Betterpress sentiment finishes my card.

Anything Goes Card:

For my ATG card I used a never before been used
stencil from A Pocket Full of Happiness 'So Lucky'.
This is a three layer stencil that I used Altenew
Forest Glades and Evergreen inks and Lisa Horton limited edition
Solid Gold ink.

A Happy Hello

 The Triple B challenge for March is starting today
and we have a pretty March mood board for inspiration!

You can however create anything as long as it has a
bird~bloom~butterfly on it, one, two, OR all three!

I was inspired by not only the green colors but the pretty small
white flowers and the green bird.  I went thru my die books of flowers
and found this Memory Box (2015) Evershan Branch die.  After cutting it out I
added some apple green Nuvo to the flower centers.  I then added a bird from
Memory Box (2024) Bird Blossoms.  The Sentiment is Spellbinders
A Little Hello Sentiments, but I wish I had placed it a bit higher but 

it was too late to move it, one of life's hard lessons!!
It really is a 'deeper' green then it shows.

Come join in our Triple B fun!!

Good Luck

 Our fun challenge at The Neglected Stuff is up and running today 
for the month of  MARCH.
It's the challenge where we want you to pull out any of your
supplies that you have never used or haven't used in quite some time!

Being March, I decided to go with a St Patrick's type card
using an older Cheapo Die that I had only used once before.
The Cheapo Dies challenge blog closed in 2018
 and the last time I used this die set was March 2018.
Time to bring it back out don't you think?

The background dies are Cottage Cutz Wacky  Stitched Rectangles.
The sentiment is part of the die set.

We would LOVE to see YOUR neglected stuff, so come on over!!

Entering the following challenges:
If You Gave A Crafter A Cookie ....March Clovers

Hocus Pocus

It might be March but it is still Halloween at Two Old Bats 
and we have a fun mood board befitting to March!
You can let it inspire you or create anything Halloween you want!

All those fun witch hats inspired me along with my new die I
purchased last fall from Hero Arts The Witches Hat.  It sold out
right after I purchased it so it must of appealed to many more besides myself.
It was such a fun die to work with that you will see it again in a couple of

weeks when we have our reminder.  The sentiment was created with the now

out of business Cheapo Dies Haunted die set.  The background die

is Waffle Flower cut from P13 Happy Halloween paper.

Hope to see YOU over at Two Old Bats!!

Good Luck To You

We are seeing GREEN at Colorful Options and have a green mood board
for inspiration to prove it.
Don't like green, then you can choose to do rainbow colors!

I used an older die from Frantic Stamper Shamrock Card Panel
die cut from a scrap of white card stock.  When cutting the panel
you get several full die cut shamrocks as well.
I die cut a 2nd panel from Memory Box Anemone Plaid papers
so I was able to paper piece a few shamrocks back in.
Now I also have another card panel and plenty of shamrocks to use
on another project.  The sentiment is a Cheapo Dies, no longer in business.

It's March and 'green' is showing up in lots of places after winter
though not yet here in my part of Michigan!
Come on over and have some 'green' fun with us at Colorful Options.

Guest Designing At PoppyStamps

 I have the honor of guest designing this month for the
Poppystamps monthly challenge,
invited by the fabulous designer Jeanne Jachna, thank you so much Jeanne.

The challenge theme for the month of March is to use
Pattern Paper and/or Stencils.

Because I am yearning for Spring, I created a Springtime card using all
Poppystamp products:
Small Madison Window #816
Nordic Butterfly Trio #2624
Nordic Bird Bunch #2601

Simple Floral Bundle and
Birthday Fun 6x6 papers PP2100

All the dies were cut from white card stock, then colored in
with various Copic's and Olo's.

The challenge runs all month long so you have plenty of time 
to pop on over to Poppystamps and join in the fun,

there is always a fabulous prize for one random winner!

Thanks again Poppystamps for having me!!
