5 Ways in 5 Days

March 1, 2022

Hi there! Yesterday kicked off Day 1 of the 5 Days in 5 Ways series with Simon Says Stamp. I shared a video featuring the Pawsitively Saturated Inks and several ways that you can use them on your projects. My first two project use the inks with masks & stencils as well as techniques like ombre ink blending & tone on tone ink blending.

SSS-A2 Masks, Circle Masks, Layered Confetti, Geometric Snowflakes, CZ Hugs

My second two cards use the inks with embossing folders. I also show how beautifully the inks can be used to flick onto your projects.

For You

February 27, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful, geometric project featuring the Geometric Builder Circles die set. These Geometric Builder dies never, ever stop bringing me joy.

Geometric Builder Circles, All About You

I die cut several solid circles and adhered half & quarter circles over top using lighter shades of cardstock to create a unique visual appearance of a square in the center.

For the sentiment I used the All About You stamp & die set.

My inspiration came from this gorgeous quilt. I find so much inspiration from quilting. I wish I could quilt like this.

Bibi’s Butterflies
