Just a quick and simple Coffee Fold it card today.

I was going for the look of a Starbucks cup but I think it ended up with too much white!

Oh well...it's still super cute!

It's hard to make a bad card with this awesome fold it.

If you haven't gotten it you should!

Very excited that this new Woodgrain background stamp has been released at

Flower Power Background

When I made today's card I was very excited with the color combo that I came up with but now that I am looking at it I am not sure what I was thinking.....

But it is still a great showcasing of this awesome Flower Power Background die.

Yesterday was Administration Professionals Day!

I work with a few fantastic Admin's and wanted to give them a little Thanks!

I made little signs to stick in the Bundlets that I bought them.

I used the Sizzix Mini Card Thanks Sentiment die.

I cut out the Thanks is 6 different colors and then cut them apart to create these fun signs.

I used Shish Kabob sticks which I glued to the back of the words.

I used the new Extra Large Bow die and just taped across the back to the stick.

And then finally I added a little tag cut with the dotted tag dies.

 Here is a closer look at one of the Bundlets.

I left one on each persons desk for them to see when they came in to work.

Everyone loved them and I hope you do to!

Thanks for stopping by!

Newport Upper Alpha

Stephanie released new alphabet dies this week!

These letters are the perfect size for scrapbooking and cardmaking.

For this card I decided to use the negative of the image.

I die cut "Thanks" out of the blue panel and then added the patterned paper behind it.

The flowers are mini flower dies.

The stamped sentiments are from the Sizzix Thanks set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank Ewe

Today I am sharing another card that I made with the new Shadow Box Card Die.

I made this one for a friend at work that has been giving me rides to work for the last couple of weeks while hubby's truck was in the shop.

It uses the following supplies from The Stamps of Life:

Shadow Box Card Die

Sheep2stamp and matching dies

Sizzix Triplits Hello Sunshine

Grass Die

Mini Flower Dies

I created a pocket for a gift card on the back using the Tag holder Die set (just trimmed the top off)

The sentiment on the front of the pocket was created with Sizzix Word Labels Stamps and Dies.

Here is a closer look at the scene inside the box.

And...the whole thing folds flat and fits into an A2 envelope.

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration.

Hit the Spot

It's been a while since I showed some love to this stamp set so I took it out to play over the weekend.

I used the matching die to cut out the ladybug and pop her up on the scallop circle.

OH...and that adorable bow?

This is a simple sketch but I love how it all came together!

I hope you get a little inspiration from it too!
