TAKE A SPIN Stamp Set Card
featuring: Game Spinner Hands, Designer Paper ' Sweet Stitches ', Pom Pom Trim
There are 4 different Spin stamps to choose from including 2 Birthday themes!





PRESTO DESIGNER SERIES PAPER 
I inked over the embossed Presto Paper with Melon Mambo Ink and a sponge, then quickly swiped off the ink with a tissue to reveal the beautiful foliage pattern once more - very elegant. 




3 punched circles as an accent!

Speaking of accents, look at this....


The new FUN FLOWERS Big Shot die - fab isn't it?

The single ELIZABETH stamp - beautiful!

As a Father's Day Card  when you combine it with a NEWSPAPER PRINT - a Designer Series Paper  called " FIRST EDITION "


While the paper is black and white - here I have sponged it with Bashful Blue ink! 


2-STEP OWL PUNCH and BUTTON, BUTTON Stamp Set and SWEET BUTTONS Embosslits. 
So popular is the owl punch that it is on back-order right now!  It's cuteness is paired with the Button, Button Stamp Set which has 17 buttons to play with. Neat!  Buttons are a running theme right now so there is the new Embosslits, SWEET BUTTONS that moi is dying to get! It matches this button stamp set - sweet!  I've seen people using these button designs as 'flower' posies....awww.

Gothic Birthday Card

 Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism!  I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better?  Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

  Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release.  To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest!  The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG !  So I had to do one! IT'S A  EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT!  GREAT KIDS PROJECT!  We made ours  after having breakfast  and  in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies:  CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES:  flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other:  1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
