Organizing Dies

 Like many, many viruses are flying around.  I am not feeling good.  No, not Covid, just a cold.  Sadly, to many I know have been ill.  

I am taking the time to organize dies.  I use the magnetic sheet for registers...easy to cut with scissors.  I put the magnetic sheet onto a cardboard backing.  The cardboard I use comes with paper pumpkin kits.

The above are my recent dies, they are my favorites.

Wanted to Say dies, Perennial Postage Dies and dies for Paper Pumpkin.

What is Old - Is New Again

 

The above card, sadly I made many...the paper is now retired.

The paper is Designer Series Paper (DSP), I needed to find a replacement.

I did...flight and Airy. This is a free item with a $50 purchase.

I love how the paper shows colors so you can use card stock to match perfectly

One side has beautiful birds and flowers, the other side is simple various hues of one color.  I used the simple side.

I was happy with results.

It took many tries

Yes, I used ink that was to juicy. That created a few bird blobs as shown above.

Just a standard A2 card, crumb cake as the base. The main layer is 4" by 5-1/4" cut from dsp.  I stamped with crumb cake the stand, the  heartfelt Symphany stamped with midnight navy.  The birds were stamped with copper clay ink.

End of 2023

 

The above card was my Christmas card this year.  The stamp and dies are still available till end of December 2023.  Come 2024, they will be retired.

The year is closing......2024 is coming.  Ok, I have been creating but life changes.  I lost my oldest brother in May.  The loss knocked the wind out of my sales.

I was going to quit Stampin' Up!  I am happy I didn't.  Some news will come out beginning February 1,2024 regarding family member of the founder  It has been in the news but come February 1 it will be everywhere.  I live where there are no craft stores, so I will continue on......

I love card making, paper crafting

The above card was created to many times, sadly this year I lost many friends and family members.  When I loose someone it hits me hard.

If you see a card here You can purchase at my etsy store.  2024 I am striving to do more

Peace and joy!
