Double Bubble in Green & White

Double Bubble

 Using a die cut out and its negative gives me a lot of satisfaction.

Its like using a snippet as soon as it is created.

The above cards created using a die (unknown source) for the scene and a Creative Expressions Greeting die with green & white snippets for the sentiment. Pale Blue versacube and unknown stamp for the snow.

Using Stampin Up Goodies

 I attended a Stampin Up Christmas Workshop - but didnt get to create all that was on offer - so I had to improvise when I got home!

Again not linking these up to any challenges - just sharing

Stampin Up Workshop Creations

 I attended a Stampin Up Workshop Christmas Extravaganza for the first time in years... It was a lot of fun but I am sooo out of practise using stamps!! Lots of fix ups required when I got home LOL.

Here are the creations I didnt have to fix

And now my rescues 😀

Miss stamped greeting

Inky fingerprint cover ups!

Not adding to any challenges this time

Purple Hummingbird Birthday

 Recycling snippets....

I was inspired by the packaging that one of my new dies came in and decided it was good enough to use as a background.  It took me ages to work out what to use with it - then I received some dies in the post.

Firstly the NBUS Happy Birthday die from Creative Expressions, I cut the top half in light purple at the same time as lining up the dark purple to cut the bottom half - snippets come in handy 😁

Then I used another snippet of purple for the NBUS Hummingbird die and the NBUS Floral border die from Jeanine's Art.

I am entering to the super extended Snippets Playground Challenge #390
over at Pixie's Crafty Workshop

AND 
as I have used lots of NBUS for this creation I will enter
 the NBUS Challenge #20

Stay safe & well

Pink Floral Thank You

 What to do when your Big Shot fails...

My big shot has been so fantastic for the last 10 years or so - I just love it but the roller appears to be having issues now when I do intricate or large dies. As is what happened here - only half the cutting plate worked out.  Luckily - when I saw Big Shots on speacial I bought a spare - A4 size this time...😀

White card base, light pink card cut with Taylored Expressions circles cutting plate, glitter washi tape to separate the halves, an old snippet of DP for a label, some pink paper flowers & bling from my stash and a snippet of dark pink card for the Creative Expressions sentiment die.

A very feminine card compared to my last post which was very masculine!

I am linking up to The Snippets Playground Challenge #390 over at Pixie's Crafty Workshop!
A lot of lovely inspirational cards there and to use up some of the snippets we all collect is fabbo...

I am also popping this creation over at Die Cut Diva's where they have a Thanks or Thankful challenge

Note: the prize they have on offer this time around is for US Residents only - but that's no reason not to head on over  😀

Stay safe & Well
Cheers
