Quarantini card using Tim Holtz happy hour dies



I cut the martini glass out of a very light gray card stock and highlighted a few edges with a white gel pen. The lemon wedges are placed underneath a piece cut out of vellum, then I cut out a thin clear plastic piece of packaging that the die set came in And glued it around the edges on top to give a shiny glass effect.

Enjoying the Lily and Palm dies from The Greetery




The greetery lily
I absolutely love the new lily and Palm dies from The Greetery. I lightly brushed broken China distress ink on the background. I used picked raspberry distress ink on the flowers and dotted them with a pink felt pen.  I inked the lily leaves with peeled paint. The words are from The Greetery caring cross stamp set, and I think the cross is from stampin up.

I made this card for my daughter, Crystal. The flowers are made from the stampin up poppy die.

A card I made using stampin up poppy stamps, embossed with white and inked.
This is a quick valentine card I made for my daughter using a selection of dies and stamps from my extensive collection


I designed this card for my Mother.  I used watercolor paper for the background and used Tim holtz distress ink stamped on a mat and sprayed with water. I smooshed the watercolor paper down to create the mottled effect. I stamped a Tim holtz flower and colored it with water color pencils, fussy cut it out, inked the edges and glued it to the background. I cut a fancy frame from light pink textured card stock and attached it to the background with foam tape. I finished it off with a Tim Holtz “beautiful” die cut word in dark pink.

Card using rose die and robin and wren stamps by the Greetery





I’ve been having fun making cards with the Greetery dies and stamps. I use dies and embossing folders from my stash to complete the projects.
