Make It Monday # 207 Double Partial Die Cutting

Thanks for joining me today as I discover how we can stretch our dies even more, thanks to
Laura and this weeks Make It Monday.  Why not check it out and join in on the fun!

I ended up using one of the Phrase Play Dies(the one with Enjoy, # 4 I think),

Tipped Tops Happy Die and then on the bottom section I used the Slide Frame 

Die so I'd have a window of sorts. I also used Petite Pots and Dies and Birthday 

Classics: April, for the "Easter" stamp.  Lemon Tart, Hawaiian Shores and White CS.

Hawaiian Shores, Lavender Moon, New Leaf and a variety of distress Inks for my BG.

Any questions? Please ask away and I love to read your comments!

Make It Monday # 191: Glittered Frames

I'm posting a MIM challenge found over at Capture the Moment and it's only Wednesday. I never get them done on Monday and rarely during the week. Yup, I'm one of the ones scrambling to finish on Sunday night! I do have a good reason to have it done and in the mail since my brother's birthday is coming up! I'm pretty sure he does not read this so I'm going to post it today.  Happy Birthday Mark!!

Anyway, the challenge was to make a glittered frame. No problem with that one, I love to use bling and glitter!! Dawn gave us some tips in the video you can find here. Why not check out the video and give it a try!!

I used some of the remaining pieces that I hadn't used from the card I made for the Blog Hop on the 25th.
 I also stamped some snowflakes in the background with A Tim Holtz stamp and some Dazzle Versamark ink.

 I used the Phrase Play #9(I think) Die for the snowflake and winter banner. Birthday wishes is from the Phrase Play Stamp Set #6. Martha Stewart Glitter and Score Tape for my frame.

Thannks for stopping by today!!

I don't know where the week went. With all the snow and kids out of school it really flew. I never left the house but I cannot account for the hours everyday. I had big plans to craft
 but it didn't happen until tonight. I was long overdue to play a bit.

So, Erin showed us this cool technique on Impression Line Water Coloring.

Here is my favorite card from the line up.

Supplies:  Avocado and Kraft CS, Bitty Dot PP, Scalloped Journal Die, Phrase Play Thankful

For You Die, Felt, Bitty Button Dies, Dark Chocolate Ink, Watercolors and twine.

That's it for tonight! See ya'll this week for the Blog Hop(at least, I plan to participate!)
