Grace's Garden with Garden Gateway Dies

I continue to play with Grace's Garden, and coordinating

Garden Gateway dies on page 13.  This bundle offers such a

nice opportunity to create a variety of garden scapes.

You can use just the fence, extend the fence or focus on

the sentiment seen through the trellis.   I personally enjoy

using the Vanilla Cardstock for this bundle, creating

soft, elegant cards. 

Honey Bee with Detailed Bees Dies

I had to share another Honey Bee project.  This bundle,

on page 30 of the Jan-June 2020 Mini Catalog, includes the 

coordinated Detailed Bee Dies.  I just can't explain how cool these

bees are, or how realistic they look in person.

I used the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder 

(page 47) for the background layer.  

Clubhouse Set with Gold Club Dies

I often mention stamping with my dear friends

Mary and Jo.   We are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators

and enjoy inspiring one another.

Jo came up with this idea, using the Golf Club dies

on page 48, to create a golfing silhouette.  Brilliant idea Jo.

The golf clubs and grasses are also part of this set of dies.

The sentiment comes from the coordinating Clubhouse set,

and was cut out with the Stitched Rectangles dies.

Born to Shine

My Pilates instructor is a ballet dancer, so that "required" me

to get the Born to Shine set on page 143.  It's such an 

easy set to use and color.  In this example, I used a lot

of gold, against the green.  I know, the shine makes

it hard to see, but a dancer needs to sparkle!

Stamp Off Honey Bee with Painted Harvest

Happy Friday friends!   Susan, Buffy and I have

challenged ourselves to use our favorite product from

the January-June 2020 catalog.  

The biggest challenge today was to pick the product to use.

I went back and forth between Grace's Garden and the

Honey Bee set with coordinating Detailed Bee Dies

(page 30).  You can see which won out although it

was a close race!  I picked the Honey Bee set, because  it

can be used for guys or gals, and people of all ages.

For this project, I created the background with the wonderful

Painted Harvest stamp set on page 128 of the annual catalog.

I felt that the bees and sunflowers were a perfect combination.

The sentiment was cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly

dies on page 20 of the new catalog.   

Thank you for stopping by, and please click on to see

Buffy and Susan's favorite products!

Grace's Garden with Garden Gateway Dies

Sorry I"m late posting today.  Life is happening!

I love Grace's Garden (Jan-June 2020 catalog page 13), 

so this is another card that

I made with this wonderful bundle.
