STAMPlorations Things with Wings Spring Blog Hop & Linky Party - Reminder Post

Good afternoon all.

Just a quick reminder of our linky party over at STAMPlorations, lots of new inspiration on the blog today. To link up your own projects see the post here.

A card made for a friendly exchange...mat layers made with dies from Spellbinders and Lawn Fawn and the Hi die from Winnie and Walter is inlaid to the upper mat.

The Flutter Zen 2 layering die was used to make the butterfly and the sentiment is from the Trendy Butterflies 2 stamp set.

Good morning all.

Off to the hairdressers this morning, then I'll have to do some ironing so I can get the packing done! I think there will be lots of layers going in the case as the weather could do anything whilst we're away!

The ladies at LIM want to see splatters this week...on a one layer card. My nephew's wife has been helping Lora with her maths revision over the holidays so we need a card for her.

I got happy mail on Saturday which was perfect for the job...one of several stencils I bought with the gift certificate I won from Tim's Tags earlier this month. The stencil is from The Crafter's Workshop, I taped it down and inked with DI in Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon and Abandoned Coral. Sentiment is from Winnie and Walter, stamped with versamark and heat embossed with black detail EP.

One layer cards, two days running, first execution!! ...I'll lie down in a darkened room now!

Good morning all.

Another lovely day yesterday weatherwise, a little pampering session in the afternoon for me...then fish and chips for tea (well I couldn't spoil my nails!) all followed by a lazy evening...life is good!

A simple male birthday card to share today.

Happy die is from Whimsy stamps, suare dies from Spellbinders, birthday sentiment from Clearly Besotted and to you from Winnie and Walter. I die cut the happy from the black layer, cut the card through the middle of the die cut and trimmed a small amount from one piece. Happy die was cut several times in white and inlaid into the black layer and stacked up for dimension. Sentiments were stamped with versamark and heat embossed with white detail EP. Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
