Technique – inlaid die-cutting

Featuring inlaid die-cutting

Star Celebration

Hi there!

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is celebrating its 8th birthday this week and so the theme is ‘Happy Birthday’. I paired these wonderful new-to-me SSS stamps with a SSS die cut from a distress oxide background I created when playing with the inks last week.

Im also entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (‘something new’).

Thanks for stopping by!

Egg-stra Special!

Happy Saturday! I used Lawn Fawn’s Happy Hatchlings die set for this Easter card. Yes, I confess it took a long time to do the inlaid die cutting for those dotty eggs! Even did a bit of controlled ink smooshing which is not one of my usual techniques but I think you’ll be seeing it more in future!!

I found this sentiment in my Easter stamp box – bought it years ago from Archivers. Ah, such a wonderful store and very sorely missed!

I’m entering this into the current Color Throwdown challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

The weather has been glorious today and I’ve been gardening – which means no time in my craft room! So here’s another card that I did for my SSS Flickr guest spot. I used a gorgeous new stamp from Penny Black and a die from Simon Says Stamp to create my very first hidden sentiment card.

The current challenge (‘something new’) runs until 13 April – hope you can play along!

Thanks for stopping by!
