The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!

I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough.

I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders.  The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die.  See the pink & black gingham ribbon?  It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!

I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique.  I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP.  It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog. 

The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody.

  • We’re making explosion pop-up cards!!

    On my Stamp with Me Live I shared these cards and how easy it is to make an explosion card.  

    These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:

    Isn't it cool?  And it's super easy to do.  It's a 6" square of designer paper that you fold in halves with a bone folder. No measuring at all!

    These are so fun to make.  And you can add a bit more fun to the card by adding in some confetti, punched pieces or sequins to the inside.  What a surprise they'll enjoy!

  • Mini Coffee Carriers; a special gift with treats & glue stands!

    Have you noticed the mini coffee carriers on page 9 of the Holiday catalog? They're actually quite large and should not be called mini!  You can see the entire suite here. 

    My friend Marilyn made this one for me; casing the catalog project on page 10.  It's so cool!

    She used the Heartwarming Hugs and Wrapped in Christmas stamp set.  She wrapped her coffee cups with Real Red CS. Tip; use strong adhesive like Tear & Tape for this.

    Here's another version. I made these for my Flowerbug's Team that attended OnStage@Home a few weeks ago.  It was filled with treats, apple cider packet and a liquid glue stand that we make *see photo below

    I actually sprayed my coffee cups with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Real Red ink refill.
