Stretch Those Diecutting Sets! One Set, Three Ways!

 Hello!

Welcome back!  Today I'm sharing three cards using one easel die set from Poppy Stamps!  It makes an easy pop-up card that fits in an A2 envelope or square.  You could also just use the front pieces and apply directly to a card panel!  Below there is a Cuckoo clock (with an action wobbler), a dog house with my beloved (long ago at Rainbow Bridge) CH. Patrick and a Spring gnome home!  

The supplies are linked below (AFIL-Thank you for your support and no extra cost to you!)

Here's the tutorial!  I hope you will like, subscribe and share with your friends!  Enjoy!

Fun Distress Ink Smooshing & Die-Cutting Techniques!

 Hello crafty friends!

I had so much fun making this project!  I hope you will check out the youtube tutorial for the tips and tricks! 

I was inspired by Tim Holtz's December Facebook lives where he demo'ed all kinds of cool techniques!  All the instructions for this project are in the tutorial link below.  

Btw, I purchase my supplies and my opinions are my own.  They are linked below (AFIL-thank you so much for supporting my channel/blog!)  Hope you will check them out!

Note:  I couldn't find a cardinal:(  Also, I didn't mention in video that I used Ebony Nuvo drops for the bird's eye.

I will see you again soon!  Take care!

A Blog Named Hero's New Challenge---Sparkle!!

Hello!  

 This month's "Blog Named Hero's" Challenge theme is Sparkle!  Here is my inspiration project for today... 

     

I kept it pretty simple as we all like quick cards to mass produce this time of year.  Supplies are linked below (afil.)

I started by using Altenew's (a Stamping Village partner) Quilted Cover Plate die on white card stock using an embossing mat so it wouldn't cut clear through.

Next, die cut Joy 3-4 times out of white card stock and once out of gold glitter paper.  Die cut the paper-layering poinsettia out of a couple colors of red and a green.  

Mount quilted piece on a card base (A2 size shown.)  I sprayed with shimmer spray (though it's hard to see in photo.)  Then, build the poinsettia on card base.  Cut off what hangs off the edge.  Use glitter glue in red and green for sparkle.

Layer up your joy diecuts and place gold one on top.  Stamp sentiment on green paper with Versamark ink.  Heat emboss in gold.  Cut into thin strips and attach to card.  That's it!

Here are the supplies:

I'll be back soon with a fun quick ornament!  Until then,
