Nothing's Better Than se with Love You More Than

 Hmmm.  I went to bed thinking that I had a post

all set up.  Must have dreamed that!

The Nothing's Better Than set, with coordinating

Love you More Than Dies is bundle that I keep

going back to.  The sentiments are so well thought-out

that it will make your favorite coffee drinking or 

cookie fiend smile.

Gnome for the Holidays

 The Gnome for the Holidays set on page 23 

(August - December 2020 Mini Catalog) is a

fun set.  You can color them with Stampin' Blends and

adorn them with a variety of accessories.  Wink of Stella

works great as a means of making them sparkle.  The sentiments

are cute and the gnomes are perfect for spreading

your Christmas greetings.

Stamp Off Best Plaid with Wreath Builder Dies

 Happy Friday crafting friends.  Today, Susan, Buffy and I

are doing a challenge called "Use Your Words".  That can

be interpreted in many different ways, so here goes.

Whenever I see the Best Plaid Builder dies (page 174),

I think tic tac toe board.  For this challenge, I obviously

went with it.  I decorated the grid with elements from the

Wreath Builder (page 173) and the Well Written dies

(page 183).  I ran the background card stock through

the Subtles 3D Embossing Folder.

Thank you for stopping by.  Now click on over to check

out how Buffy and Susan use their words!

Forever Fern with Forever Flourishing Dies

 About a week ago, we had a Stamp Off challenge, using

the Forever Fern (page 110) and Forever Flourishing Dies

(page 175).  This was another card that I was considering

posting for that challenge.  There are lots of cards on Pinterest,

placing foliage on one side of the card.  Given this bundle,

that's a pretty easy card to create.  For CAS stampers,

it's a quick way to create a pretty elegant looking card.

You can use Stampin' Blends (page 142-3) to color

Enamel Dots, Sequins or Gems to match your color scheme.

Arrange a Wreath with Wreath Builder Dies

 Here in Ohio, we're just starting to see signs of fall.

Fluctuating temperatures, leaves starting to change, and

sinuses going crazy.

The Arrange a Wreath stamp set (page 127), with coordinating 

Wreath  Builder Dies (page 173) is the perfect way to

usher in Fall.  I like adding a few brushed metal elements,

because they pop against the In Good Taste DSP from

the August - December 2020 catalog.  I used a die from 

the Hippo and Friends collection (page 176) to cut out 

the sentiment.

Butterfly Wishes with Forever Flourishing Dies

 I thought that I'd try a card that fits in a business sized

envelope, which is currently a "thing".   My next one will

be horizontal, rather than vertical, given how tall these

cards end up being!

I really like the Butterfly Wishes set on page 16.  The sentiments

are beautiful and I tend to use them often.  I like that

oriental looking branch, with pretty butterflies.  In this

example, I colored the butterflies with Wink of Stella,

although it is difficult to see.  I used In Colors that

will be retiring in 2021.

I added a Brushed Metal fern from the 

Forever Flourishing dies on page 175.  The card

needed a bit of sparkle.
