A Busy Weekend Again

It's been a very full weekend with Mother's Day, Mark's birthday and Sharon and Mark's 40th wedding anniversary. In the middle of it all we have some inking, stamping and card inspiration. First up is Sharon's Wednesday technique video. We've all been a bit obsessed with Waffle Flower's Postage stamp die. We have several samples of what you can do with this versatile die. 

For this card that Sharon created during the video she used a combination of IO inks. Below is what Sharon started with.

Sharon adde another color then ...

 another...

Then there were the add-ons starting with this die from 49 & Market. The ribbon on the card? Sharon found it on her floor as she was cleaning and re-organizing her craft room!

The tag? the same! The stamping comes from LDRS.

Here are several other samples and cards Sharon made.

Don't forget you can cut them apart.

These stamp sets are from Waffle Flower and also work well with the Postage Stamp Die.

Inking this card was done by pouncers.

In order to stamp in each individual box, Sharon blocked off each rectangle with post-it tape.

Friday Sharon shared what's new in the store, First up are these mini brushes by Taylored Expressions. As a reminder, we cannot put Taylored Expressions in our on-line store. You need to come into the store or call the store and order that way.

More from Taylored includes this 'Worth a Shot' word and phrase set that coordinates with the dies below.

There is a stamp set, a stencil and a die set for these potent potables.

Sizzix introduced this multi-purpose tool. It works as a stamp positioner, stencil holder, and a turn-around tool similar to Gina K's turn-around stencil guide.

Fruit dies or stamps?

The last color Mona added was gold stars.

These are the two stamp sets that go with these new postage layered stencils.

This is the beach stencil, we're on our second order for this one.

Mona used the layered baby stencil and the onesie die to makes the next card.

I hope all our mothers of both two and four legged children had a nice Mother's Day. Until next week, keep being crafty and above all Stay Safe.
