April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hope you are all doing well in your days of self isolation. Some days it seems that time is moving so slow and other days fly on by but here we are on the last day of May and time for the 12 Kits of Occasions group post. Marcia Hill, Marcia's Stamping Pad, is our hostess this month and she sent us all oodles of flowers to bring a little colour into our lives.

I made four cards with this month's kit.













All together...

Using Thicker Embossing Plates

I have a post up on the Birch Press Design blog today! I am combining the Memory Box Open Studio Ticker Embossing Folders with some Birch Press Design dies.

I hope you have a chance to visit me there to see what sandwich I used that works with all die cut machines for these super thick folders!

Crafty Birthday

I hope that you are keeping well, it's hard to believe that that is our 11th week of quarantine! We have just begun phase 1 of opening back up again and it's very limited. We have been told if we don't follow social distancing and the numbers start going back up we will shut down again. I really really hope not. The new normal is not how it should be. :( 

I have a post today over on the Studio Katia blog. I created a fun birthday paint splatter card for a crafty friend. I hope that you have time to pop over and say hello and to get the full details of how I made this card.  See you there!

You Are So Awesome

As we are now in the 9th week of social distancing I thought I would create a fun card and video for my post on the Birch Press Design blog!

You can watch the video here or on my YouTube channel, enjoy!

I hope you have a chance to pop over and see what I used to create my slimline card using the Regal Peacock Layers set SS|EH.

Have a great day and stay safe!

Happy Birthday

Happy Saturday!

It is an abnormally cold weekend here in Ontario, we apparently have a 'polar vortex' looming over us complete with high winds and snow. Yuck! From inside where we are still self isolating the sun keeps emerging every now and tricks the mind to thinking it's warm, but trust me it's not! On a happier note today I am sharing my projects from the April 12 Kits of Occasions a wee bit late. Our hostess for April was Nancy Penir, Artful Notions, and although she sent my kit out earlier than all the other's it took the milk route to get here arriving just the other day. I think the postal system has been a bit off kilter during the pandemic.

So better late than never I am very pleased to post my cards from Nancy's fabulous kit. Nancy sent all of us the most amazing collection of panels, die cuts, images and embellishments all focused on birthdays. I don't know about you but I seem to always be running low on birthday cards so her kit was just what I needed. I still have a few more cards left to share with you another time, but I couldn't wait to show you what I've done.

All of my cards together:

If you haven't already I hope you visit the 12 Kits of Occasions blog to see what my talented teammates did with the same supplies!

Thanks for stopping by! Stay Safe!

Celebrating You

I have a post and video today over on the Studio Katia blog. I used the fabulous Birthday Balloon Duo Stencil to create a colourful card for my hubby for his birthday this week. Full details are over on the Studio Katia blog, I hope you'll join me.

I have a video sharing a few tips I use when stenciling multiple images from one or several stencils over on my YouTube channel. You can watch it here or on YouTube for full screen.
