Floral Thanks

Happy Monday!

Is there actually such a thing?  

Well, it would be a happy Monday if you received this beautiful card.  I used the Sizzix Scallop with Thanks Sentiment Set die and the new tropical2stamp club set.

l colored the Hibiscus flowers and leaves with my prisma pencils and blended with blending stumps  and gamsol.

This card die makes it so easy to put together a quick, simple, beautiful card!

There are tons of great samples of this new tropical2stamp set in the gallery.

3D Birthday Cake decorations

I found another great use for the new 3D Happy Birthday dies.

I don't know if you have "Nothing bundt cakes" in your city but it's a great little place with delicious bundt cakes.

You can walk in and order big cakes and small ones ready to go.

And...for additional charge they will add decorations.

I decided to save money and decorate them myself.

I had two employees whose birthdays were on the same day and I got them each a mini cake and decorated them myself.

In addition to the Happy Birthday die I use the Sizzix Triplit Party Hat die.

So cute!!!

Hope you enjoyed the inspiration of another great use for the die!

Thanks for stopping by!

Flower Drop in Card

I made another card with the new Sizzix Card Flowers drop in die.

I love how I get so many spare flowers when I use this die because it makes it easier to make the next one.  I've made 3 or 4 of these now and I have a baggie of spare flowers!

I didn't put a sentiment on this one which makes it perfect for almost any occassion!

Here is a closer look at how cool the flowers look.

This die is flying off the shelves so run to The Stamps of Life and get one quick!

Congrats

I needed a quick Congratulations card for one of the employees at work who got a promotion.

I used the Sizzix Card Flower and Circle drop ins die.

What I love about this one is the ability to swap out the circle sentiment for any of the other circle sentiment dies you may have.

I had a lot of fun decorating the card with different flower colors and flower embellishments.

This was a quick and easy card to make and my work buddy loved it!

I hope you enjoyed my card today!

Dotted Hearts

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day!

My kids are all across the country so I enjoyed with a friend who's kids are away as well!

These Sizzix Dotted Heart Dies are perfect for so many occasions...Mother's Day, Anniversary, Wedding, Love.

Hopefully, I'll get some time to play more with them soon!

Happy Bird-Day

This was such a quick and easy card to make because I started with the Sizzix Square Card front die.

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

I really love how this card turned out.

I hope you love it too!

I added a few extra flowers created with Mini Flower Dies to the card front.

I added some striiped patterned paper to the inside from the Cheerful Pattern paper pack.
