Ribbon Quilt

July 26, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful card featuring the Ribbon Quilt die set. This die set turned out to be an unexpected favorite! It was a lot of die cutting and glueing but worth it to me. The Pawsitively Perfect Craft Glue has also been an unexpected favorite. It has been working like a charm ever since I opened it, and let me tell you, I am easily frustrated with adhesives. I consider myself to be and adhesive connoisseur:) This a good one!

I love how you can fit so many colors on one card(this is my jam). There are a million different designs you could make with this die set and I love that. For the sentiment I used and oldie but a goodie, the CZ Hello die with vellum and matte gold.

Summer is flying by and it has been hard to find time to craft while sharing my craft room with my son, who is visiting us from Germany. He is leaving soon and I’ll have the craft room all to myself, but then I’ll be sad that he is gone. All good problems to have I guess. Hope everyone is hanging in there and sending you all rainbow hugs and french fry wishes:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hummingbird Hello

June 30, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using some die cuts from the latest Friend Like You release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Brilliant Hummingbird, Tilted Daisies, CZ Little Banner Basics

I created a Buttercream panel for the background and made an opening using one of the A2 Arches dies. It framed the Tilted Daisies perfectly. I used white cardstock to die cut the Brilliant Hummingbird and blended ink to add color using Lilac, Surf, Limelicious & Sunbeam. For the sentiment I used one of the CZ Little Banner Basics dies and blended it as well for color using Lilac and Peony ink.
