Get Well Gang

Hello,  welcome to a new week and a brand new month! 

I had such a wonderful weekend. A happy surprise when our 4th grandchild was born Saturday - a sweet baby girl! I love being a Mimi - it's one of life's greatest blessings. I don't do photos of the little ones for privacy's sake, but just had to tell you the news!

On another topic, I've needed and found a great new (to me) set for get well wishes, the Get Well Gang from WPlus9 Designs. I find these critters to be adorable and the sentiments are just what I need for someone recovering from surgery or an accident. 

 

I got busy creating, coloring the animals with Copics and using the matching die cuts. I was playing with the sketch at MOJO but I'm posting too late to enter the challenge. 

Isn't the sketch cute? For my take on it I pulled out these dies; the WPlus9 Clear Cut Stackers: Hexagon dies, and Bold Banner and Basic Labels Dies. I sponged the sentiment and hexagon panels with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink, and surrounded them with Nuvo drops.

Hope your day will be delightful.

TWO for Mojo Monday

Hello! Just a quick post from me as I want to make the deadline for the Mojo Monday challenge tonight! I pulled out some patterned papers and the Glorious Globes set from Papertrey Ink and came up with two cards. 

I'd never used this set before and it was on my must-do list for January. I'm glad I inked it up, I see so many possibilities with the globe images and cute sayings. 

My first card uses the sketch as shown. I love that Julee gives us the measurements as it really helps, especially with a sketch with many layers like this one. 

Here's the card. 

Here's the sketch. 

Since I had all the stuff out, I put together a second card using the same stamps and different papers. This time I turned the sketch on its side. 

So glad you have come by today. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday. 

Let It Snow Take Two

I've always loved using one design as a jumping off point for another card.  A few days ago I made a card using the Let It Snow die. Once the supplies are out, it's easy to create two cards for one. 
Want to make it even more fun?  Add some brand new supplies that you just got in the mail!

Using the die for today's card, I kept it wrapped in red foil paper and used the same colors and DSP. I changed the layout, making a square card. The scene I created with the Fence Line:Winter stamps and dies, is framed with a circle that has white glitter paper peeking from behind the lattice cut outs. 

I'm playing along with the Mojo Monday sketch challenge.

Also adding this to the Transformation Tuesday challenge at Papertrey Ink.

PTI products used: Fence Line Winter: Stamps set and dies, 

Shape Shifters Circle 4 Die, Christmas Cheer Dies, Merry Mug Stamp set and dies.

I'm so glad you came by to visit today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Fairy Tale Christmas

Hello again!
Welcome to my Tuesday Papertrey Ink post. Have you seen the gorgeous Make It Market Kit called Fairy Tale Christmas?  It's amazing! 


I've had many of the kit elements in piles on my desk. Today is the day I combined some of them into this card. I'm not quite ready for any white stuff yet, but I was dreaming of snow when I made this night time Christmas scene.

Believe it or not, there is no stamping! A printed scene is behind the oval frame, and I die cut printed images to pop up on this panel. For embellishments I added a sequin to the star in the night sky, and a wrap-up of silver chord with a flocked bit of ribbon. 

I'm happy to be playing along with the Mojo Monday Challenge. Have you heard that Julee Tilman has brought her beautiful sketches back? 

The dies are also new to me, they are PTI's Pierced Feature Frames: Ovals. I know these will become a go-to for me. They add such elegance. 

That's all for me today. It's been a dark rainy day here, and I've been stamping up a storm. See you tomorrow!
