Merry Branch

Hello and a Happy Friday to all of you!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using a new die from Cheapo Dies.  I'll be here every Friday to share a new die with you so I hope to see you again.  In the meantime, be sure to take time to check out all the different dies they have available.  I'm having so much fun with all of the dies I've been sharing over the last several weeks.  They are good quality and you can't beat the price.  I know you'll love them as much as I do.  You can see them HERE.

The die featured today is the Merry Branch.  I cut out four of the Merry Branch and glued them together since I wasn't going to be able to use foam tape.  It added just the right amount of dimension.  I used one of the negatives as a stencil and added a touch Coral Berry ink on the card front.  Then, I added the layered die-cut.  On each berry, I added a rhinestone I colored with a Copic marker.  Stamped a sentiment and viola! the card was done.  I love the clean and simple look of this.


Stamp Set:  Holiday Florals (Taylored Expressions)
Inks:  Coral Berry, Jet Black (Altenew)
Cardstock:  Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions)
Dies:  Merry Branch (Cheapo Dies)
Other:  Rhinestone Basic Jewels (Stampin' Up!), Copic Marker R27

Floral Butterfly

Hello and a Happy Friday you!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using a new die from Cheapo Dies.  I'll be here every Friday to share a new die with you so I hope to see you again.  In the meantime, be sure to take time to check out all the different dies they have available.  You can see them HERE.

The die featured today is the Floral Butterfly
I cut one butterfly out of Pacific Point cardstock and, using some foam tape, popped it up onto the stamped image.  The floral image is one I've had in my stash and thought it was a perfect way to show off this butterfly.  I stamped the sentiment and that was another card all done and ready to use.  I decided to add no embellishments so as not to detract from the die-cut.  I think this is such a pretty butterfly.


Stamp Sets:  Build-A-Flower:  Cattleya, Build-A-Flower:  Rose (Altenew)
Inks:  Jet Black, Caramel Truffle, Frayed Leaf (Altenew)

The die featuring is the Candle Arrangement Die.  I die-cut two of them, one in Sugar Cube and one in Poppy Parade and offset the red layer so it was peeking out from behind the white.  After stamping the Pine Bough Background in Cilantro ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Holiday Florals stamp set in Jet Black ink.  I popped up the die-cut on foam tape to give it a bit of dimensions.  For the finishing touch, I added a few Cherry Pop Enamel Dots.

WWC194 - "Anything Goes" Challenge

Wednesday has rolled around again and it's time for a new Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week Heidi is hosting our "Anything Goes" as it is the fifth week of the month and makes for a nice change in the lineup of challenges.

The card I'm sharing with you today was one I made in a recent watercoloring class I took at the Taylored Expressions Stamp Joy 2018 Event.  It was taught by Taylor and I learned a couple of new tricks using her new Liquid Watercolors.  They are so much fun.

For this card we used one color.  It's Plum Punch and to get the ombre effect you simply add more water as you do each strip across the watercolor paper.  It's such a bright, cheerful card.


Liquid Watercolor:  Plum Punch (Taylored Expressions)
Cardstock:  Watercolor Paper, Lollipop, Peapod, Sugar Cube, Plum Punch, Strawberry Milkshake, Lavender Glaze (Taylored Expressions)
Dies:  Hello Script, Hello Script Backer, Leafy Branch, Scribble Flowers (Taylored Expressions)

Hawaiian Flowers

Hello and a Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using another fantastic die from Cheapo Dies.  I'll be here every Friday to share a new die with you so I hope to see you again.  In the meantime, be sure to take time to check out all the different dies they have available.  You can see them HERE.

Today I'm featuring the Hawaiian Flowers Die.  I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with this die so I started by cutting it out of white cardstock.  I got out my Stampin' Write Markers and colored the flowers using Melon Mambo, the leaves using Old Olive and the stamens using Crushed Curry.  Since I wanted to use a card base made from Melon Mambo cardstock, I thought the white would be too stark for such a bright flower.  Then, I remembered a new Feeling Dotty Stencil I have from Altenew and I created this lovely background onto Soft Sea Foam cardstock using Frayed Leaf ink by Altenew.  I popped the die-cut up on foam tape and offset it onto the card front.  The sentiment is from the Jump for Joy stamp set by Maymay Made It.  It's stamped on white cardstock using black ink.


Stamp Set:  Jump for Joy (Maymay Made It)
Ink:  Frayed Leaf, Jet Black (Altenew)
Stampin' Write Markers:  Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Old Olive (Stampin' Up!)
Cardstock:  Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions); Melon Mambo, Soft Sea Foam (Stampin' Up!)
Dies:  Hawaiian Flowers (Cheapo Dies)
Other:  Feeling Dotty Stencil (Altenew); Clear Wink of Stella Brush

Caroler Quartet

Hello and a Happy Friday to everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using the Caroler Quartet Die Cheapo Dies.  I'll be here every Friday to share a new die with you so I hope to see you again.  In the meantime, be sure to take time to check out all the different dies they have available.  You can see them HERE.

Today I'm featuring the new Caroler Quartet Die.  I love these carolers in silhouette.  Reminds me of something right out of Dickens.  I wanted the silhouette to be the focal point so I kept embellishments to a minimum and added only one small rhinestone as the dot for the 'i' in Christmas.  The card is a 6" x 6" card as I just couldn't bring myself to cut away any of that beautiful patterned paper.  I cut the image out three times and glued them together to give it some dimension and I also popped it up even more with some form tape.


Stamp Set:  Reason for the Season - sentiment (Stampin' Up!)
Inks:  Ruby Red (Altenew); Vintage Photo (Tim Holtz)

WWC191 - Charlotte's "All About" Occasions Challenge

Hello and a wonderful Wednesday to you all.  It's time for for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week Charlotte is hosting "All About Occasions" challenge.

While putting this card together, I forgot to write down all of the different supplies I used, so, I'll share what I remember.  The stamp set I used is the Build-A-Flower:  Rose from Altenew.  I know that I used various inks from Altenew, Stampin' Up! and some Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  The sentiment is from the Cutting Edge - Flowers stamp set by Taylored Expressions.  I used a black card base and added a layer of white to which I added some splatters.  I did pop the flowers and leaves up on foam tape.  And that, as they say, is that.

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Cute Spooks

Hello and Happy Wednesday to all!  It's time for another challenge from The Sisterhood of Crafters.  This week Terri is our host and she has chosen "Cute Spooks" as the challenge theme.

This one was a true challenge for me as I don't have any cute spook type of stamps.  So, I used some Graphic 45 patterned paper and found two small stamps that were in a box a friend gave me and stamped a dangling spider and the legs of witch for my spook feature.  I hope it works.
