Sending Smiles with Tulip Dies

 I've been busy using the Sending Smiles with coordinating

Sending dies.  They are just a dandy bundle, as the 

sentiments work for so many occasions.  I also used the

Tulip Dies to create the little pattern on either side of the

flower.  I backed the holes with Misty Moonlight to help

highlight these accents.  The background layer was run through

the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder to add

more texture.  Genial Gems finish out this project.

Heron Habitat with Symbols of Fortune

 I had a great aunt who was a buyer for a department store.

She made frequent trips to the orient and I have some products

that she purchased, including a carved lamp and block print.

  I've always appreciated this type of esthetic.

This led me to purchase the Symbols of Fortune DSP, which

has an oriental feel and coordinates exceedingly well with the 

Heron Habitat bundle.  I placed the heron on a Tailor Made

Tags layer.

Tulip Dies with Sending Smiles

 The Tulips Dies are so darn pretty, and easy to use.

In this example, I used several colors of cardstock for

the Tulips, and added some shading with Stampin' Blends.

The tulips were layered on to a piece of 2021-22 

Pattern Party Hostess DSP.  The sentiment comes from the

Sending Smiles Bundle.
