Welcome to our February Blogging Friends Blog Hop, the month of love!
We have a guest blogger again this month, Tami White. Welcome, Tami!
Our theme this month is, of course, LOVE.
This was quite convenient for me. My hubs was going to visit his mother (in Holland, we’re in Texas) for her birthday. I always like to make him love notes to stash in his suitcase!
I went with the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits from the big idea book and catalog. I paired it with a 6×6 DSP stack from the mini, Sending Love.
I wanted to show you the versatility of our dies and to use every part of it.
In this first card, I used the outer part of the heart die cut –
I paired it with the inner part of the love die. I did plan that I would be using the outer portion and started with a square to create a 3×3 card.
Most people only use this portion of this die, the sweet, scribbly heart –
Of course, it’s a great choice because it’s just too cute. You can see that I used it with the outer portion of the love die this time. I also don’t want to waste any of the Glimmer paper either!
Lastly, I used the center of the heart –
It’s kinda funky and I really like the style of it! (I had a Card Buffet a couple of weeks ago and we used the inner part of the U’s then – I saved the outer parts!) This card just says, love U! How sweet is that?
All together, some mighty fine cards to be stashed away between clothes to let the hubs know how much I love and miss him!
What do you think? Have I inspired you to used all pieces of a die cut out? I’d love to read your comments!
And, of course, this is a blog hop, so head on over to Mary Blocher to see what she has done with this months theme of love!
Awww, Libby, my husband and I stash notes in each other’s suitcase too! But, I scribble on some paper, so this makes my note look silly. Hugs, Crystal
It’s just a fun little surprise! We do hand written notes as well. These are just more fun, either way, it’s the thought that counts!
do u have a special adhesive for the glitter card stock? for some reason my mono tape won’t adhere, and neither will a multitude of others i’ve tried!
I usually use Tombow Liquid glue or Fine Tip Glue Pen. Both work quite well for me. I do know that a stronger adhesive is needed for glimmer papers. Email me with any other questions!
Very cute cards!!
Thank you, Sabrina for stopping by and leaving a compliment! Please visit me again soon!
These are adorable Libby! I loved how you used the positive & negative die cut. I never want to waste anything either 🙂
Thanks for the kind words Danica! New crafters don’t realize this! I thought what a great thing to show!
Great cards and what a sweet treat for hubby to find those in his suitcase while he’s away!
It’s those little things you know……husbands really appreciate these sorts of things!
I love your cards! I really have to get that Sunshine Wishes Stamp Set. It is so adorable! I always forget to make good use of the negative cutout. Great job!
This is probably one of my favorite framelit sets – I get so much use out of it!
Libby, i love your cards. I make 3×3 cards all the time, love the way you used everything!
Thanks, Michelle! I love these littles!!!
Beautiful cards Libby! I love that you used the positive and negative die cuts. Very creative! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Jenny!
I love the little 3×3 size but rarely make them. These are so cute, and great use of your glimmer paper scraps!
I just love 3×3 cards Lisa! So fun and it’s just a little something something for anyone!
Love your demonstration of the versatility of dies and hiw to use every single piece! Loved all your cards very much.
Thank you! Speaking in a creative monor, you CAN use all parts. It’s just takes some planning!
That is so sweet! I love love these cards!!! I need to purchase those thinlits…they have been on my wish list for months!
