I recently received new stamp and die sets from My Favorite Things. Needless to say, I have been creating with the sets. Today's card were made using Their Die-namics Sunflower Wreath and Farmhouse Foundations sets. The sentiments on all of these cards were stamped using Thoughtful Greetings. For the watering can card I created the shelf using a piece of wood patterned paper. The twig wreath on the Happy Thoughts card is from Stampin' Up. The jar of water was created by die-cutting the jar and adding a piece of vellum (colored with alcohol markers) behind the die space on the layer. I added the stems behind that vellum before adhering the white layer to the card base. I also used Stampin' Up's Deckled Edges dies on two of the cards.
Making all of the flowers, leaves and stems took some time! That was when I was thinking that I should have purchased the Stampin' Up Mini Cut & Emboss machine. So out came the SU catalog. I was all set to order it when I found out that the magnetic plate was no longer available. I know I could just tape down the dies, but I have the magnetic plate for the Big Shot and it is something I use all of the time. So, I am just sticking with the Big Shot I have now.
