Snailed It with Coordinating Snail Dies

 When I saw the Snailed It set, with coordinating Snail Dies,

in the new January-June 2021 Mini catalog (page 54-55),

 I knew that it would be on my list.  They are sooo cute and you 

can use the dies to cut out images from the Snail Mail Designer 

series paper, as in this example.  I love the slotted background

die, what fits the Snailed It images perfectly.  I added a strip of

the Love You Always Foil Sheets on page 85, to add a

bit of shine.

Gilded Good Morning Magnolia

Buffy said that she wanted to see more of my Gilded Foil cards,

so I decided to oblige.  This is from the initial supply that Buffy

mailed to me, so I am appreciative.

I pulled out my Good Morning Magnolia stamp set (p. 34),

with coordinating Magnolia Memory dies and went to work.

I knew that these flowers would look just dandy when

created with the Gilded Foil.

I added a Gold Hoop (p. 156), attached with glue dots,

to the sentiment.  Finally, I layered on a strip of 

Fine Art Floral DSP (Jan-June Mini Catalog, p. 33) with

some sequins attached.

 

Simply Succulents

 Last week, I mentioned the "Gilded Foil Plot",

executed by Buffy and Susan.  I sent both of them

cards to "thank" them for the pressure they applied,

as I really do love the new Gilded Foil on page 33

of the Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  This is a version of the

card that I sent to Buffy (Susan got the card posted this past

Friday, for our Stamp Off Challenge)

I bought the Simply Succulents set on page 39, with

coordinating Potted Succulents Dies because I have

family living out west.  They have a lot of landscaping,

featuring cactus and succulents.  I figured that I would

make good use of this bundle.

I ran the Soft Suede background layer through the 

Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and then swiped it

 couple of times with Versa Mark ink.  I added a 

strip of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to

place the plants on.

The succulents were colored with Stampin' Blends.
