Sunburst Thank You

I've made a card with the Simon Says Stamp Sunburst and Photo Play Thank You dies, for a requested thank you card for my daughter to give to a friend...

She wanted a thank you card with a sun, and for it to be melon colored....the Simon Sunburst was my first thought to create the card she was thinking of.  I die cut, blended the inks, and layered the sunburst,  I cut it down before layering...kind of liked the border that it created.  I added a cool die cut and layered thank you, and done.  Simple and I have to say, I think it turned out kind of  cool!  Here's a close up...

Hope you have a sunny day...but not too hot, although I am recently having a hard time imagining the not too hot part...ha ha!!  

Thanks for taking a look today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Dog Lover Cards

I purchased the adorable PhotoPlay Dog Lover stamp/die set a while ago, and have finally taken the stamps out, and made a couple cards...

I think the dogs in this stamp set are stinkin' adorable!!  I stamped, die cut, colored and layered both dogs.  For the first one, I die cut and colored him a very light gray and black.  I die cut an old MFT Stamps heart from their discontinued All My Love set, and used some Sunny Studios heart paper for the background.  Here's a close up...

The second one, took a little more thought...

This little dog looked so sad, so I HAD to used the Missing sentiment from the set with him.  The only thing with this little guy, was finding a background.  I chose to use sentiments from a number of different stamp sets.  I adhered them to my MISTI, it looked like this...

I stamped the stamps with Simon Fog ink, and partial cut the sentiments with a MFT Stamps stitched rectangle die, making it a little shorter than the original die.  I layered the frame and layered and adhered the dog.  I added the sentiment from the stamp set below the dog/stamped sentiment panel.  Here's a close up..

Okay, this was lots of fun!!  Hope you are having a great start to your week....

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Sunflower Love

I used the Honey Bee Lovely Layers: Sunflowers dies and a die from Photoplay's Thankful Thanksgiving die set, to make a card for this season of thanks...

I have had both sets of dies for a while, but took them out to play last night and put together this card..super quick, easy, and fun!!  The embossed paper was a scrap, but embossed with an old Papertrey Ink Impression Plate(Guide Lines Grid).  I LOVE this sunflower!!  So pretty and once I figured out how to put it together, realized that it was more amazing than I had first thought.  There are three layers, and each one builds upon the one below.  There are unembossed petals on the bottom two levels, and are meant to line up with embossed petals on the layers above.  It's all about alignment with this die...so cool how they made it a no fail die...you can't go wrong as long as you line it up!  Way cool!!  I bent some of the leaves with my fingers for added dimension.  I added two die cut leaves, and a layered die cut sentiment(love the font, lines, and size of this die!), and popped up the flower, and then the panel on the card...done!  Here's a close up...

Hope you have a great weekend...just turned my heat on for the first time since Spring, a couple days ago...Fall is really here in VA!
