FSS Tulip Bouquet

Hello again! Well I have come back down to earth after getting some time with my new cutter...although my feet are barely touching the ground! I wanted to share a card I created using the FSS Tulip Bouquet Colored Set...don't these look like they were freshly picked? Tracey does such a great job with her flowers and her colored sets are wonderfully done! Although you really cannot see it, I had printed the image twice and cut out the vase and pop dotted it so that there was a little more dimension on the card. Now I have to tell you about the butterfly border...this was NOT a punch around the page punch set...I watched a video from Becca at Amazing Paper Grace...she demonstrated how to create the punch around the page look with your regular border punches...AMAZING! Little bit of work and measuring but I was very pleased with the end result! Although I did try this with one of my older Fiskars border punches and BROKE it!!! Oh well. Well I am off to do some more playing with my new Black Cat Lynx and hope to have a project to show you soon using it...I am amazed at how FAST it cuts and it cuts like butter!!!! I hope you all had a great day today and that your weekend will be even better! Thanks for stopping in to see me today, I will be by to see you all a little later on tonight I hope!

HUGS!

BLACK CAT LYNX!!!!

Hello...just stopped in to say HI! I have been absorbed all evening with my NEW toy! I ordered a Black Cat Lynx a while ago and guess what was waiting for me when I got home today???!!!! You guessed it! I was so excited and wanted to tear into that box as I could hear that baby purring already! BUT...I would not allow myself to do so UNTIL I did my workout at Curves and had dinner...that being said...I have been playing now for about 3 hours...have learned a lot already...have cut a few things out and even did some writing with my new baby! I will be back in a few days to show you some of what I have created with my new toy...I hope you are all doing well and have had a blessed day today!

HUGS!

FSS Paper Piercing

Hello! Happy Monday! Well the sun is shining on us today after 2 days of solid rain and cold! Bad thing is I have to go to work!!!! Oh well, I am glad to see the sun...makes for pretty flowers later on in the season. Speaking of pretty flowers...oh gosh what do you think about today's creation? I used the FSS Pattern Frame and Flourish Set...and it comes with this awesome flower as well. I took the flower and did a pixel trace in Make the Cut software so that I could cut it out with a background layer. I colored, pierced the center, folded up the petals a little and added some green leaves and how pretty it came out! Please as always, whenever you alter an artists' image in this manner, check their TOU! I am pleased with how this turned out. The leaves and the flatback pearls are from Pizzazz Aplenty, the sentiment is an SU stamp and the frame was cut out with a nestability. The background embossing was done with Flowers #6 folder from Sizzix. Hope you like my creation! Have a wonderful day today in whatever you do, and thanks for stopping in to see me! I will be by to see each of you later on today!

HUGS!
