Green Pastures (DT) Dies To Die For

Hello peeps.  It is Saturday, isn't it, I think it is, surely it must be?

I have no words.  I am slowly going insane.

Which actually explains a lot.

So, all the things I have used are:

MFT Birdie Brown - Green Pastures BB-098

MFT Die-Namics - Green Pastures MFT-1693

MFT Birdie Brown Greetings Galore CS-335

MFT Mix-Ables Stencil - Captivating Mandala ST-112

MFT Die-Namics Stiched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frame MFT-924

MFT 6x6 Spring Whimsy EP-61

MFT 6x6 Party Patterns EP-51

Little lady has been coloured with Distress Inks (ReInkers), Zig Clean Color Pens, and some paper piecing.  Stencil inked with Distress Inks and a finger dauber.  Yes, I know I have the fancy brushes but for some surfaces the dauber is still the best.

I'm off to rock gently in a corner until next week.

Hugs

Adorable Elephant (DT) Dies To Die For

Now then, I'm figuring that I have been in the study all week working so this must be Saturday, right?

I had to drag a perpetual calendar out of mothballs to put next to the phone, just so that we stand a chance of knowing the day, that's if I remember to move it on each morning!

I am fast becoming notorious for forgetting birthdays, or remembering them late, so

I am definitely more squirrel than elephant, although at the moment, I am rapidly acquiring that shape.

Lovely things used for this card are

MFT Birdie Brown Adorable Elephants BB-28

MFT Die-Namics Adorable Elephants MFT-814

MFT Die-Namics Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frame MFT-924

MFT Mini Cloud Edges Stencil ST-100

Lawn Fawn 6x6 Dandy Day LF2208

Lawn Fawn 6x6 Knit Picky Fall LF1732

Elephant and balloon coloured with Zig Clean Color pens, and clouds inked with Distress Inks and a finger dauber.

Hope your weekend is a good one (and you can tell it apart from the rest of the week)

The Dies To Die For website it still up and running in these strange times, so you are still able to craft away your hours.

Trio of Trees (DT) Dies To Die For

Hello everyone!  Happy Saturday to you.

I'm here with a clean and simple but still quite classy card.

(but I must apologise for the photo quality, there wasn't a huge amount of daylight when I took this)

So, for this I have used:
MFT Clear Stamps - Trio of Trees CS-346
MFT Die-Namics - Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frames MFT-924

So, apart from Memento coloured inks for stamping the trees/sentiment, and the tiniest smidge of Distress Inks for grounding, that is absolutely it!

I am going to have another go at this one, maybe with a darker green for the trees, and heat-embossing the berries with gold instead of red ink stamping.  If it works, you might see it here soon!

Purr-fect (DT) Dies To Die For

Hello chaps,  I am hoping that I have a safer day than yesterday.  Firstly I managed to tip over a 400ml (full) glass of squash, thankfully it was heavily diluted so it wasn't sticky, but there was a lot of dashing around the office grabbing paper towels to mop it all up from my desk.  How can water travel so far?!  Then when I was getting dinner ready I knocked over a full cup of chilled coffee, over me, the worktop, the floor, down the cupboard door......... AND if that wasn't enough, I then managed to trip over the cable while I was charging the laptop.  It really was NOT my day!

Anyhoo, I have used Rosie as my muse (or is that mews) for this make

MFT Clear Stamps - Purr-Fect CS-388

MFT Die-Namics Purr-fect MFT-1503

MFT 6x6 Graphic Grid EP-43
