USE IT UP Irresistible Blooms Pocket Thoughts Simply Said

One more card with a similar layout of strips of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper (retired). I didn't include it with yesterday's cards because the die I used it on is the same one I used on the second card for today. It's from Irresistible Blooms Dies, which are on the Last Chance list right now for $7 instead of $35! If you don't have them, get them before they're gone!

Colors: Basic White, Mossy Meadow (stamped off so it's lighter)

Colors: Basic Black, Basic White, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Peach Pie, Pool Party, Shy Shamrock

This card uses a piece of Picture Perfect Designer Series Paper (retired). I colored each of the little circles on the die cut with Stampin' Blends.

USE IT UP Fancy Flora Happiest Day Simply Said

Yay! Computer problems fixed! My computer guy couldn't figure out why I was having the problems I was, so we ended up doing a total reset on it. Luckily I had this post completely written and ready to go once the pictures were fixed so I'm back!

Today I have three cards to share with you- all use the same layout with strips of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper (retired). I used this paper for swap cards, so I made a bunch with the same layout and used different patterns from the DSP. That left me with lots of narrow strips and I decided it was time to use them up! All the pieces I added to them were found in my pieces and parts box, where I put things I have tried but ended up not using.

First up, a cute baby card! The rabbit was stamped with the Easter Bunny stamp set (retired) and punched with the coordinating Easter Bunny Punch (retired) but not colored, so I used Ivory and Neutral 1000 Stampin' Blends. The greeting is from Celebrating You (retired) and was stamped on a piece die cut with Stylish Shapes dies (still current!). The embellishments are Iridescent Pastel Gems (retired).

Colors: Basic Black, Basic White, Balmy Blue

Next, a pretty birthday card. The greeting is from Happiest Day (still current!) and the oval die cut is from Framed Florets (retired). I don't remember the name of the dots- they're almost clear.

Colors: Basic Gray, Basic White, Soft Sea Foam

Last is another birthday card. The oval die cut is from Stitched Shapes (retired), the blue piece is the new Modern Oval Punch, and the pink piece is cut with Wonderful Thoughts Dies (retired). The greeting is from Simply Said (still current!). Iridescent Pastel Gems (retired) add the finishing touch.

Colors: Basic Gray, Basic White, Balmy Blue, Petal Pink

STYLISH SHAPES DIES
$30.00

HAPPIEST DAY PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)
$20.00

MODERN OVAL PUNCH
$22.00

SIMPLY SAID MIX & MATCH PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

All of the strips are 3/4 x 5" and they are attached to a piece of Basic White that is 3 3/4 x 5".

I'm Having Computer Issues...

 I'm having some computer issues that aren't allowing me to add pictures, so I'll be taking a break from blogging until I can get it figured out. It's hard to share projects with you without pictures!

USE IT UP Wanted To Say Fancy Flora

Once I had used up what I had for "background layers" in my pieces and parts, it was time to go through some Designer Series Paper and see what I could make work. I had this die cut piece from Framed Florets Dies (retired) in Night Of Navy, so I found a piece of Fancy Flora (retired) that it would go with. Did you see the little birds towards the bottom? I don't remember which die they are from, but they were already cut and waiting to be used, too! 

WANTED TO SAY DIES
$39.00

ADHESIVE SHEETS
$11.50

Colors: Calypso Coral, Night Of Navy, Pool Party

The Adhesive Sheets are a must for these small dies! They make it so much easier to attach than trying to use even liquid glue. Just peel the backing off one side, attach to your cardstock, and run it through with a die like normal. Then you just peel off the backing off and it's like a sticker!
