Positively Pretty Poppies

This has to be one of my most favorite sets of all time, and I just don't get tired of it! I've made mostly red poppies, but today I decided to try something different. First I choose two colors, Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo, then decided on the Tin Tile embossing folder and voila instant pretty with no fancy layout. After gluing the flower pieces together, I simply played around with them on the card until I found an arrangement that I liked. This is called 'dry fitting.' I don't know about you, but if I put adhesive on the pieces first...... it's a disaster! lol

Plaid Tidings

I used a retired stamp set for this card, but I wanted to show y'all how versatile the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper is. I didn't have a layout in mind, and that's okay because with these pretty plaids you don't need one! This paper adds enough umph to the card all by itself. And colors? Oh my goodness, there are tons of colors, for fall, spring, winter, holidays and everything else.

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine Review

I recently posted information and videos on the new Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine, and since I now have one of my own, I decided to do a review for you. Before getting the Stampin' Cut & Emboss, I had two machines, a Big Shot and a Grand Calibur. I preferred the Grand Calibur, but this new machine has now moved up to the top spot!

The handle turns much more easily, it embosses more crisply, and the machine doesn't slide around on my table.
I love the numbered platform and plates.
I have a few intricate dies that required shims with my old machines. None of those dies need shims for to get nice crisp cuts with this machine. Nor do they need more than one pass through!
The magnetic plate is awesome!! The entire sheet is magnetic. The Big Shot magnetic plate just has spots that are magnetic and if you put your die in certain areas it will jump around and won't stay attached. The Grand Calibur doesn't have a magnetic plate. I have been forced to used Purple Tape or Sticky Notes to keep dies in place. I won't need those pesky things any more.

I give the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine 5 Stars.

Thanksgiving Blessings

These cards were made with Autumn Goodness bundle. My Favorite is the second one with Mango Melody and Melon Mambo. Of course the colors came right out of the plaid DSP. I never would have thought of those colors for fall, but they just sing happy fall!
