The Impossible Card

Hello Friends!

I've already posted these two cute cards on Instagram and FB over the weekend so you may have already seen them but I thought they deserved a blog post because they are so stinkin' cute!

I discovered this "impossible card" on pinterest on Saturday morning and couldn't wait to get to my craft room to try it out.

It is super easy to make and if you google it or go to pinterest you will find great videos with step by step directions.  The one I saw was for a 5" x 6" card.  I started with a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4 " base for both of these.

For this card I used the new Ladybug Pudgie set and the grass from the Borders Dies.

For this card I used the kitty's from the Mini Pudgies  and the Fluffy Cat Pudgie.

I hope you enjoyed these cards.

You will probably see more of these "impossible cards" as I am loving them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Flowers that Wow

Hello!

I finally got my Flowers that Wow and couldn't wait to share.

Here is the first card that I created using this fun new set from

The Stamps of Life.

Here is a closer look at those fun flowers.

I colored them with my Prisma pencils and blended with blending stumps and gamsol.

The orange panel is the negative piece that was left when I die cut out a card using the new Exclusive Flip It.

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration.

I have another card to use tomorrow.

New Shadow box die set

So excited to share a card I made with the new Shadow Box card die from the Stamps of life!

I have always loved shadow boxes but they are a lot of work with all the measuring and figuring!

This new die takes the guess work out of it!

'

I created the card and then filled up the scene using 

Grass die and 

Friends4cookie and matching dies.

I just love how this card turned out.

Make sure you stop by the gallery because the design team will be adding all our samples later today!

C4C421- Love and Appreciation

This is my second week of being a guest designer on the  Crazy4challenges blog.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner so today's  Crazy4challenges Blog challenge is to make a project that reflects love or appreciation.

It can be a Valentine, Anniversary, or Thinking of you card.

I made an appreciation card using Squirrels2love and the matching dies from The Stamps of life.

I used the Royal Stand Up Die for this card.

Here's how it looks when it's standing up open.

Here's a closer look at those adorable squirrels.

I colored them with Prisma Pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and that you will check out the challenge on the Crazy4challenges blog.

Flowers for my friend

Have you seen the new Sizzix Box Card Die from The Stamps of Life?

It comes with all the pieces to make this card!

I love all these flowers.

And the coolest part of this die is the ability to change the edges of the box.

I used the rounded corner drop in for this one.

But this one I shared last week uses the zig zag drop in.

The sentiment is from the Blocksentiments2stamp set.

You will be seeing a lot more of this die set because I am in LOVE!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
