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.
