Hello

 It's that time again for a new challenge theme at
The Sisterhood of Crafters chosen by our
'sistah'  Annie and it is Stripes and Dots.

I purchased a new stamp set for this for my stripes and dots
and it is Colorado Craft Company Dots and Stripes.

I had to stamp the background several times and it's
a good thing I had my platform to do so to get a complete image
and still managed to make a few errors along the way,
hence the placement of my Roses which BTW are from
Sunny Studio Everything Roses stamp and die set.

The sentiment is an oldie I have had forever in my stamp stash,
stamped on an oval from The Scrapping Cottage.

The little butterfly is a Sue Wilson.

Make sure to pop on over to The Sisterhood to see all
the amazing designs from my 'sistahs' and join in with us!

Butterfly Oval

 This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today:

Hello Tutti fans, today I am showing the pretty and detailed

Butterfly Oval die.
I cut this die from a beautiful metallic purple mirror paper
(hence the darker photo).

I also cut a second time just the butterflies and snipped them off
to add more dimension!

The die cut was them placed on a Stitched Scalloped Oval.

Best Friends

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today!

 Hello Tutti fans, I have a cute card using a die that is 'purr-fect' for

anytime of the year and especially for family and friends that love cats!

The die is called 'Best Friends' and if you have a cat you know how that can be!

I have kept this card simple by die cutting in white card stock
then paper piecing the cat and coloring in the rest. 

I placed the die cut when finished on a Stitched Scalloped Circle
then stamped what I though a great sentiment on a
Stitched Scalloped Rectangle.
All links are given below.

Pumpkins Galore

 It's a new challenge at Two Old Bats Halloween challenge
and we have a fun mood board to inspire you.
You don't have to use it but maybe it will give you a few creative ideas!
The theme is always  ANYTHING goes Halloween!

I let the jack-o-lanterns inspire me, my Stampendous stamp
reminded me so much of the ones on the mood board!

I simply colored them in with copics and then inked around them
for some color.  A scrap of designer paper
was placed behind the image.
The little BOO was part of an OLD Justrite set,
I stamped then used a round punch!

We would love for you to join us at Two Old Bats
and get some of your neglected Halloween goodies out for our challenge!

Happy Birthday

 I am slowly trying to get back into challenges
and decided to join in the fun at Seize The Birthday.

I purchased this cute Deep Red Birthday Cat stamp awhile ago
to make cute birthday cards with and finally have the opportunity to use it.

The sentiment is all part of the small stamp.

When I saw that the optional topping was Furry Friends
this stamp immediately came into mind.

I stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Tombow markers
the die cut with a Tutti Designs Cross Stitch postage die.

I used a very old and neglected MS Floral Vine punch for the bottom of
the Pebbles design paper, this paper dates back to 2013!!

I added a few gingham 'candi's' to finish!

A Quilted Birthday

Happy May 1st!!
It's a new challenge starting today at Dies R Us
and as always our theme is now ANYTHING GOES
making it no excuse for you not to join in
after all not only do we have Top Picks
we have a random prize!

I have always been drawn to the quilt dies.
They ae so fun to created with various colors of card stock
and this die from Impression Obsession 'scalloped Pinwheel'
falls into the FUN category!

I had a paper pad from tonic with these two colors in it
and thought perfect for my 'quilt'.
The entire quilt piece you see is all from the same die
making lots of color options.

For the sentiment I used Tutti Designs Dotted Rectangles.
All the links are given below for the dies.

This die allows you to 'quilt' the easy way!

Dies R Us now has a sister store with warehouses in the USA and Canada called Didi Crafts.  

It will ship to both the US and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!
