Masculine Cards

 The die balloons are from my stash, the backgrounds are Taylored Expressions. The images that give a "stamped" look are from Technique Tuesday. I don't actually know if they are still in business.

A Fringe Die

 The fringe die, made by Taylored Expressions, was intended to be used as a tassel, but I turned it into a gift. I think it could also be a cake. I have seen fringe used on an egg die too.

Just think of all that can be done!

Birthday Card

 A Spellbinders die and a Taylored Expressions foiled background. I have several clients that will occasionally have a drink and this one is for them.

Unexpected week off

 After an unexpected week off, I'll return tomorrow with more cards. We had company last week end and a party was moved to my house due to the host illness. I will admit at 61, I just don't have the energy that I did when I started this blog.

Mother's Day Card

 I am loving this die from Karen Burniston.  It is called the Rocking' Rectangle Pop Up, number 1089.

It is so simple to put together and can be used on so many cards.

The outside of this card Was stamped using a background stamp on it's perf. paper. The inside came from a stamp set that has been in my stash for sometime. I colored the hand and flowers with copics.

Pop Up

This is pop up that has been in my stash for years..... I had only used this once, so this is only the 2nd time. I will say it wasn't entirely happy with this one. Not sure if it was color choices or what, it just lacked pizzazz.

I'm still wondering what else I can do, but the die will probably go to the next yard sale.

Cocktails anyone?

 Since snark is my middle name, this worked right into my card sentiment book. As you can see, I made 2 cards with the same sentiment, just different cocktails and colors. The cocktails are Tim Holtz dies with the front printing from my Cricut.

Mother's Day

 Going with yesterdays card, I feel in love with the paper and just kept creating. I used a different stencil for this one, but loved how it turned out!

Mother's Day Cards

I used the new perforated paper along with the new stencil and made  4 cards.  The supplies are all Taylored Expressions. The Mom I believe was from last year.

Pop Up Birthday Card

 I used just a simple pop up "square" for the ice cream.  I added the frosting from a cake die set by Taylored Expressions to add a fun decoration to the front and back.

Fun Fold

 The middle is the first, the last is the second and the first is the last. Got all that - lol.  However you fold it, it is really pretty cut.
