Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Hi,

Valentine's Day cards have always been my favorite to make.  This year I did not get a lot made.
This morning I needed to scramble and get one done for Dale so I decided to grab an image from my stash and start there. I decided to make a Rocking Rectangle card, this is such a Fun  die set by Karen Burniston!
My dragon was colored with Copic markers and the rest of the color is watercolored :)

Here is the front of his card....

and the Inside.....

I used an old negative from a Hero Arts Chipboard Heart for my rectangle and put some watercolor on top.  I watercolored my two frames and a few little hearts from the Heart Pivot Panel die set!

Stamps are all by MFT.  Supplies I used here are listed below.

Thanks so much for stopping and have a Happy LOVE Day!!

XOXO

Just Playing.....and Totally Inspired by a Friend!

Hi,

I've really been trying to save money and not buy new stamps all the time.... I am often so Inspired by my favorite Canadian Teammate Karen Aicken and she recently used a die set that I knew I HAD to have :))
Thanks Karen !
I also placed it on the Rocking Rectangle die set by Karen Burniston  (like she did),  this die just fits perfect on it.

Below is the card I created......

Lately I've been loving to watercolor, it's just so relaxing and I thought this die was perfect for a little loose watercoloring.

Then the card opened up.....

Supplies I used for this fun little card are linked below....

Thank You for stopping and have a wonderful day

A Double Wide Basket , (Bassinet) Using Dies By Karen Burniston!

Hi,

Last week Karen Burniston took a challenge from a gal that wondered if there was any way to make the New Woven Basket a little larger.....
She did a live video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FoS4nVdv9Q&fbclid=IwAR30gRWnl4EC-r5r8rAIEyjHP3dy1FfqpohuxujnDBjrxaTWAep3c6QW8c0  ) on showing how to do this and I immediately thought of a picnic basket or a bassinet for a baby!  My photo type was an experiment and not perfect, but it sure was fun to create something totally different then all the cute little woven baskets I have been making. I did mine a little different staying with a curve on the top so it looked bore like a Bassinet? :)

Below is the card....

I sure don't have a lot of baby stamps so will have to work on getting a few as I used a very old Stamping Up stamp for this sentiment.....

I used Chameleon Markers and Color Tops to color the cute little baby charms just released by Karen.

The Congrats is also a new set and it's a great one too!

Here is another pic.....

And one where it is folded flat to mail in a larger envelope.....

This die set is a Must for any crafter...there are so many possibilities and smiles to be created :)

Supplies I used are linked below,

Thank you for stopping by today!

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge LOVE With A Little Chocolate!

Hi,

It's time for this months Karen Burniston designer challenge and our theme is love and as a bonus a little chocolate  :)

I have had this chocolate chip cookie stamp for many many years it was made by Alias Smith and Rowe and I have always loved it.  Well I thought what fun it would be to use the New Pop Up Basket die set and add a dozen chocolate chip cookies... the sentiment stamp I used is by Stamps by Judith.
All other dies are by Karen Burniston from her recent release :)

Below is my card......

And another view.....

And a closer look of how is goes flat for mailing :)

All supplies are listed below except for the two stamps used

Head over to karenburniston.com on Wednesday and be inspired by the DT and Karen will have an awesome video and card as well!
