Inlaid Silhouettes

One of the newest techniques card makers are using is Inlaid die cuts and I love this technique. It makes a beautiful CAS one layer card and it's kinda like putting together a puzzle which I love to do.

Fo my card I used the Long Stem Silhouettes set and the Coordinating die.  The technique is really simple you can see all the deets and even watch a video on it HERE

Happy Stamping!

birthday cookie

Hello friends!  Today I have a little treat box to share.  I made a Mini Pizza Box to hold a birthday cookie.  (Because who doesn't love a chocolate chip cookie??)

After cutting and scoring the box, I added the patterned paper (which is very sparkly) to the top.  Then I die cut a window and added a die cut frame.  The inside of the window was lined with a piece of clear acetate.  Then the box was adhered together.  A half circle was punched on the front of the lid to ease in opening the box.

Finally, I used some Sweet 'n Sassy stamps to decorate my box.  The flower and matching die is from Long Stem Silhouettes, the butterflies and coordinating dies are from Majestic Monarchs, and the sentiment is from Birthday Word Art.  Some clear Wink Of Stella was applied to the butterflies and flowers for some added sparkle which unfortunately doesn't show up in the photo.

Here's a photo of the box open.

What a cute little way to wish someone a happy day, don't you think?

Good morning!

Jessica here with a card to share with you that I made with the gorgeous Long Stem Silhouettes stamp set and its coordinating dies.  I inked up the flowers with Distress markers and stamped on the coordinating die cut.  You can also do it the other way - stamp first and then die cut, it's your choice.  I love the soft colors the Distress markers give.

The sentiment is from Celebrate Today - love the font and the meaning behind this sentiment, don't you?  When I hear it I think of the math concept that I teach my first graders: Greater than/Less than... ha!  And, what a glorious truth that His plans for us are far above and greater than anything we can dream of...

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Time of Sorrow.

Good morning!

Jessica here with a sympathy card to share with you this morning that I made with the lovely Long Stem Silhouettes stamp set and the new Long Stems coordinating die collection.  They are very easy to line up and stamp beautiful 'technique-y' flowers such as this one.  The sentiment is from Sympathy Innies.

I inked the flowers with a couple of shades of pink and green Distress Markers and stamped on the die cut.  Such a soft pretty flower, don't you think

As many of you know, Korin and her family are dealing with the death of her beloved Grandmother.  This card is a virtual sympathy card for our sweet Korin.  I know today will be an especially difficult one, Korin and we are praying for you.  This sentiment you included in this stamp set says it perfectly. {hugs}

Have a blessed day, friends!
