Belated BD

As much as I like making cards you would think I'd get them out on time..... will there seams to be something missing there.
Here's another BD card I made that I MISSED......

I made this card flat but if given locally I would have added foam between a few of these layers.
The stamp is by Rubbernecker and called Candle set... I have the matching die also but did not use it here.. and the words are from Taylored Expressions called Ducks in a Row.  Colored with Zigs  brushes.
 


Here's the inside where I used another Rubbernecker stamp called Cards on Time.
Will that's it for today.
See Ya!

Deck the Halls Z-fold

 This week I received several things from Craft Stash located in the United Kingdom.  OMG let me say they have some really NEW things, (New to me anyway).... and the shipping price wasn't bad, but it took 2-weeks to get, but was will worth waiting.

Today I'll show you the die by Moonstone-Hunkydory called Deck the Halls, it has a total of 5-dies in it and was only $11.47 US. 
Here we go....Please remember this is my first card with this die, So I know it need some work.


Here's my card as you would pull it out of the envelop.   It folds flat for mailing very nicely too.  This is the front of the 3 main dies, plus the Deck The halls at the bottom. I did not use the 5th die which was a string of light to put on the railing. When I colored this I used a dabber and Tea Dye and Crushed Oliver Distress Inks for the Tree, then went over that with my Zig's for the reds, greens, and browns.... went really fast too.


Now this view shows how it opens.... I found I had to color the middle panel on the inside too or it would have looked funny to me.  But was quite easy, I need to work on my brown more too.  


This is a closer look at the inside, you can see you have plenty of room for a Merry Christmas stamp and say some special words if you like.  


I wanted to show you the back of the first fold... it has the Red strip at the bottom, that's so the Deck the Halls die shows thru the front nicely.  And you can also see the second fold, this would be the front when folded.   Sorry if I've confused you........

Have any of you seen or used this type of die set... I'm sure there in the US but I could not find them when I went looking.  Anyway hope you enjoyed, and That's it for me today. 
See Ya!

Deep Sympathy

We just talked with a family friend last night and found out someone very close to her pass on.....So this morning I looked in my stash of cards and found my Sympathy section very LOW and decided to create this.   I've been working with this flower several different ways and always like how it turned out but decided to try something different...
Here we go....

The Stamp set is from Technique Tuesday called Today Flower.....and the words came from MFT stamp set called Essential Sentiments.  I white heat embossed the flowers and used Bundled Sage Distress ink all over the background and flowers... then I colored over that with my Zig'.  For the curved edge I used a Spellbinders Curved Borders Two / S5-201.  


On the inside I left if very simple and used the words from another MFT set called Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy.  I've used this set often and like all the Sentiments on it. 

Will that's it for today, See Ya!
