Hello friends! 

First time it hasn't rain in days and I see a little peek of sun.

My local stamp store owner does a facebook post at least

one day a week showing what's new in the store and

sharing a card from beginning to end. She recently

shared a card with a layering die from Altenew (Zinnia's)

I went into my back room to check out my dies to see

if I had any layering flower dies, and much to my surprise

I did and the package had never been opened! Shame 

on me, because this is not the only unused stuff I have...

So I made a card with it in soft colors and a beautiful

embossing folder background.

Flower Dies are Dies by Chloe

Embossing Folder is Crafters Companion

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great day.

Until Later

LITTLE GIRL BEAR AND BALLOONS

Hello friends. I have been having fun with the new Embossing Folder and die sets

by Lisa Horton.  They are such fun and turn out so beautiful.

For this card the Balloons are one one of the sets available.

                                                                               

Bear Stamp is very old (1999) (Hampton Art Stamps

                                         Grass is a die                                 

Balloons is the Lisa Horton Embossing Folder and die set

which I colored then used clear glitter to make them sparkle

The background sky/coud paper is from Paper Wishes

I also made a envelope from an old stamp for this fun card.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek.

This is the mood board you can take inspiration from.

 This beautiful stamp with the flowers, bird  and music sheet was

a gift.  What fun I had coloring it up. I stamped it again and cut out

some of the flowers to pop up. The little bird even has a worm

in his mouth.
