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.
