Paper Smooches Flowers

I made a couple cards with a Paper Smooches stamp set and coordinating dies...
I used a rectangle die from Lil Inker Designs that I elongated by putting it half way through my Big Shot and making the paper longer beneath it, putting it back through the Big Shot from the opposite side.  I used a stamp from Simon Says Stamp stamped with versa mark and clear embossed for the background.  LOVING these thank you sentiments from Paper Smooches...there are so many fonts and wonderful mixed sentiments!!

I used the same sentiment and background stripe for this card with a different flower from the set.  Super simple, but I thought the colors were fun:)!!  Have an amazing day:)!!   Hugs!! Lisa

Sunshine

I am LOVING the stamps and paper in the Simon Says Stamp March Rainbow of Color card kit!!... 
 I combined both the papers and sentiment with a sunshine die from Lil'Inker and a tiny heart from SSS.  I cut strips of the paper and adhered them to another piece of paper together with some gray strips...this is such cool paper to have such happy colors AND GRAY in it's patterns!!   Placed on diagonal and adhered to card.  I layered the sun and heart for depth and stamped the sentiments in gray and yellow(Stampin up  Summer Sun was the closest yellow I found to the papers).  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Reverse Confetti March Release Blog Hop!

Hello Reverse Confetti friends! Winter may be trying to hold on for dear life, but with the hopes of spring right around the corner, there’s a fresh new release from REVERSE CONFETTI! There are 6 new stamp sets and 5 new Confetti Cuts Dies (some of which coordinate perfectly with a few of the stamp sets, too). Today, we’re hoping to put a “spring in your step” with our new release Blog Hop! The Confetti Crew, Challenge Crew and a few friends (that's me:)!) have sprung into action with some fabulous projects to share this month using the newest RC products. Hop along with us and catch “spring fever”!
The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Amber Hight’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you to see using all the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets and dies!   

I  used the new sets, Posies 'N Petals and All about You on my card above...LOVE these flowers!!  I also used Confetti Cuts Tag me dies and So Stripey stamp set, which I stamped with versamark and clear embossed.  Here's a close up of the stripes...

 I have one more card to share with you...
On this card, I used the new stamp sets, Carton Cuties...this bunny is so stinkin' cute...and Quirky Cuties: Bebe Bunny for my sentiment.  I also used the Heart die from the Reverse Confetti Love Note die set.  


  I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more REVERSE CONFETTI inspiration! Now it’s time to hop on over to Daniela Dobson’s blog.

Mod Window

Needed a manly thank you...
Used a cool die perfect for manly cards by Simon Says Stamp, Mod Window, and a "thanks" by Paper Smooches.  I layered the window a few times underneath the white panel for depth...layered the "thanks", too.  Die cut pieces of the window in a variety of colors and pushed the circles and 1/2 circles down into layered holes.
Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Another Silver Birthday

Made another silver and gray birthday card with the leftover die cut sentiment not used on the card I made a couple days ago...
Made the leaves with a Paper Smooches die and the inner lid to a peanut can!  I live in peanut country...and of late, my daughter and I have become nuts about peanuts!  We drive an hour away to Wakefield Va and Plantation Peanuts,  to get THE BEST PEANUTS IN THE WORLD!!  And we buy several big tins with each visit...I know...CRAZY!!  The inner lid is embossed silver, and I thought it would be great to recycle and die cut with it...
Thus, the leaves...
Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Super simple quick card...
Just got some new(for me) FABRIC tape from Michael's...like washi, but fabric...very cool and such a great texture!!  Tried to get as close up as I could but doesn't really capture the fabric...it IS cool, though...

Die cut and layered the REALLY cool Huge Hugs die from Simon Says Stamp, combined with a Simon sentiment, and paper from Lawn Fawn...LOVE this paper, too!!
