It’s Been a While, Lots to Share!

 I’ve been MIA the last week or so. Last weekend we were in Oswego for my cousin’s daughter’s college graduation. It was a fun weekend but I came home with a wicked head cold this week and weekend. I’ve gone back through several videos and I’ve managed to cobble together several Wednesday and Saturday videos. There is a lot of new product and several great card assembly ideas. I’ve got enough for a part 2 so we'll see how it goes.

We’re starting with Mona’s challenge from last week. This is a simple but fun fold card. I'll start with the template for the pieces you need to cut out then show you several samples using Doodle bug papers, dies, stamps and Doodle Pops. 




Here are the Doodlebug stamps, dies and papers used.


I think this and the next are Doodle Pops.



These are great little slim line cards and you can also do them in a landscape orientation!



Lots and lots of options t add variety to your cards.

Sharon shared new product from Lawn Fawn. They had a mini release and it's all about those buzzing little bees. This first one is designed to pop open in the center of a card when you open it. Sharon who says she's 3-D challenged was able to use this die in a card!

Sentiments used with the bee hive coming up.

Bees aren't the only flyers in this release. Lawn Fawn mice and paper airplanes take to the air!


More bee themed dies, tags this time.



Stencils too!

Fireworks.

This large 'hello SUNSHINE' (with outline) is combined with the cute Doodlebug sun paper you can see peeking out on the left and below.


In a Wednesday video, Sharon showed Pink Fresh's new circle stamps. The great thing about this set is we all have circle dies in our stash, some of us more than one set (me!) Combine these stamps with your circle dies as Sharon does and you can create circle frames, inserts and even shaker bases.


This one is going to be a shaker. Sharon created a lot of elements using these dies and the coordinating floral, and word die stamp and die sets.



Sharon also used some of the bits and pieces from her Pink Fresh large Washi rolls to accent several of her cards.







Sharon colored her flowers with Copics and added Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents to her floral border.


Moving on to another restock, Scrubby! We love this soapy sponge. It's great for getting ink and paint off our fingers and from under and around our nails but it also works wonders with garden dirt, mechanics oil and more. We have it back in lemon and orange scents.

More Doodlebug Dog and Cat papers, cut aparts and Doodle Pops!



I LOVE THIS! We have the frames and I'm not sure about all the rest, but Sharon took a class and this is what she created. 

OK, Picket Fence has a promotion we are participating in. Purchase $25 of Picket Fence product or more and you will get this slimline die set as a bonus! There are other bonus items and any purchased Picket Fence product is eligible. Purchases must be made at one time.

Happy Father's Day die and they have a drink theme going on.







Little clumps of grass.

Some delightful, slightly snarky sentiments to go with all those drinks!

Gorgeous, new 49 & Market. Three collections. When we get to the Gardenia collection, my favorite, you will see all the embellishment option that 49 and Market offer. Sharon may not have all these options for every collection, but we do have a lot! First up is the Lavender Collection






Sharon took one of the 12x12 patterned papers and showed how you can create several cards by cutting it up just from the one sheet.


Add one of our multitudinous seam binding colors and the Bow Maker for a colorful embellishment.


The Ocean collection is next.


These are pages from the Gardenia collection and more and more and more!



Rub-ons, can we talk about their rub-ons? They are gorgeous! There are so many included in a pack. Cut out what you need and add it to your page or card.







According to Sharon, this kit shows you how to build layered embellishments, something many of us struggle with.


Sorry for the poor quality of this photo but they also have enamel elements.




Don't scrapbook? They have a card kit!


Spiral books, two sizes, patterned paper.


I’ve got more so I’ll be doing a Part II right after this post.  My funny for the post. Seriously, how incredibly stupid have people become!!!

I’ll see you soon! Stay crafty and Stay Safe!
