MFT "Baby Shark" Die

 Hello everyone.  

My card this month is dedicated to my son-in-law.  As soon as I saw this die in the shop I just knew I had to have it.  I would always try and give my son-in-law, now deceased, a card special to him when it was his birthday.  I remember doing a sloth one year because my grandchildren and daughter would often call him one when he was a bit slow to do things, mind you his shift work as a dump truck and dozer driver for the mines contributed to some of that .  Luke had a tattoo of a shark on his shoulder blade that he was very proud of and once told me he would have loved to have been a marine biologist so he could study sharks.  There wasn't a shark documentary he hadn't seen.

After I bought this die, I thought, what are you going to do with it now - Luke has gone but not forgotten; losing his life in a tragic accident last year five days after Christmas.  I came to my senses and thought why should that stop me from giving him a birthday card.

My daughter and grandchildren have a cabinet with memorabilia from Luke's life  and I decided I would make the card and hope my daughter would put it there.  Of course, it's in the special cabinet and everyone loved it.

What am I doing, the tears are flowing while I write this.  I wasn't going to get this personal on this blog.  I should have penned my own first.

Anyhow I had better show you the card and get over to my personal blog.  I hope I didn't upset anyone by going off track here.

My Favorite Things Die-namics Die - Baby Shark
(unfortunately I bought the last one, however I am sure Bec can re-order if you email her)

Actually I just did a die-namics advanced search in the shop and there are quite a few My Favourite Things Die-namics Dies to check out, 

See you next time and don't forget our October "Anything Goes" Challenge - you still have time to get your creations in.

See you next time,

Gail

Lawn Fawn Mousey Magic Iris Fun

 Hi, Louise here with you today to share an interactive card with you.

I have been watching videos and looking at cards made with Lawn Fawn Magic Iris die quite a bit since it was released a while ago.
I had been umming and ahhing over whether to purchase it as it is a fairly high price point and I love stamps!
But curiousity finally got the better of me, and I bought it.
I LOVE IT!!!!!

Once I got over a few teething problems, like my mini glue dots being ancient and non sticky, the iris is so easy and so effective.

Here is the first card I made using the die....

Isn't it cute!!!!

And so easy peasy.

All items used on my card are available by ordering through Bec as a special order.

Items used:
Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Die
Lawn Fawn Magic Messages Stamp set
Lawn Fawn Dandy Day Stamp Set
Lawn Fawn Dandy Day Lawn Cuts
Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words Stamp Set
Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words Lawn Cuts

If you would like to see some more of the magic iris pop over and visit my instagram 

Thanks loads for visiting the blog today and I hope I have given you a little inspiration
Lou

Winsome Blooms....

 Hi everyone, it is my turn on the blog to share with you my latest card.

I have used the Dreamy Tiles  3D embossing folder from Altenew for my background.

  After embossing onto white cardstock, I cut out the embossed tiles and foam mounted  4 of them to the front of my card base.  After stamping and colouring the flower die Winsome Bloom from Altenew with my stamp pad,  I die cut them and placed them onto the front of my card.

To create more depth in the flowers I have glued  Gold Micro Beads to the stamens and love how the centres now pop.

Supplies used:

Altenew 3d embossing folder - Dreamy Tiles

Altenew Stamp & Die set - Winsome Blooms

Taylored Expressions Die & Stamp - Simple Strips Background

Altenew Stamp Pads - Sunkissed  and Rouge

13 arts Gold Micro Beads

Thanks for looking, until next time happy crafting.

Altenew Paint-a-Flower stamp set

 Wow, have you played with these Altenew Paint-a-Flower stamp sets?  They come with sentiments too, great value in the shop right now.  There are 14 flowers to choose from, some in stock and others available to pre-order.  They are a beautiful stamp to use and ink up well.  I used Stazon Olive Green ink this time.

I am working with Lotus Outline today.  Why did I choose this one, well I did buy a lotus plant last year, it grew heaps of leaves but didn't flower, so here's hoping for this year a bloom or two.  When I saw the stamp I thought well at least I can have a flowering lotus stamp even if I don't get a flowering lotus plant.

Supplies used:
Altenew Paint-a-Flower stamp set Lotus Outline
Prismacolor Premier coloured pencils
Prismacolor  Colourless Blending Pencil
White card, green paper
Stazon Olive Green ink


Thanks for checking out my post today and don't forget our September Blog Challenge.
