Faux Quilting

I knew I wanted the Stitched Quilt Thin Cut Shapes the moment I saw them in the new book. Evidently, so did everyone else as they sold out and may not be available until the end of March! However, my ladies will get the chance to still play with these dies and make a few cute cards that are quilted with love!

Here is a close-up of the dies and a couple of cards I made. You can see that there are a few shapes that you get on one magnetic sheet. The possiblities are vast, not only for cardmaking, but for your scrapbook pages too! I will be back soon to show a layout I created using the die cuts.

Please check back on my website late March for the availability of these dies. You will want these in your stash!

Hedge Hugs!

One of the cutest new stamp sets in the Holiday Expressions Idea Book has to be Hedge-hugs found on page 94. The artwork shown on this page using the stamp set features one of the shaker windows on a "thank you" card. It's so adorable! Here are a few more ideas using this little cutie!

I've used papers from the Grateful Heart collection and the Seasons Mix-in collection for these cards. I wasn't kidding that this hedge hog is adorable! Check out the artwork in the Idea Book too!
