I’m posting some cards using the poppystamps Triptych die. I paired it up with several other dies and stamps you’ll find in Cindy’s store, Starlitstudio.net
Played around with adding the Memory Box Playful Petal Bundle die. Ranger White Enamel Accents and the Kindness of People stamp.
I matted the Triptych squares on the Postage square die from the Memory Box Postage set on this last card.
All three of these cards are A2 size! Thanks so much for stopping by and congrats again to our winners! Happy stamping and die cutting!
p.s. I forgot to write above that I posted the card photos larger this time. If you click on them, you can see them larger and then click again and even larger. Tell me if you like that better or not??? Thank you!
An overdose of Spring today on my blog! Welcome to thoughts of new life, playful bunnies and before we know it, congratulations will be in order!
I inked a background with Distress Inks for the NEW Memory Box Happy Easter Egg, Pasture Grass and Prairie Grass dies. Die cut the scene with the MB Stitched Rectangle Layers die and added the MB Springtime Bunnies die.
*** Cindy from Starlitstudio has generously provided me with TWO of the Happy Easter Egg dies to give away! YAY! Thank you Cindy! Comment on this post for a chance to win! *** I’ll leave it open for 5 days.
Next up is a fun scene with the NEW poppystamps Brevilla Hillside die. I die cut in black and in white cardstock. I used the frame from the black cut and the pieces from the white cut.
I did ink smooshing on the pieces and the sky with Distress inks…Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon.
The Hot Air Balloon and Sky’s the Limit stamp and Banner are all from the MB Flying High stamp set and Flying High die set. Super easy to stamp and die cut. I did add a little Copic coloring to the banner and a teeny bit of line shading to the balloon.
Both cards are A2 size.

Links to the supplies I used to create these cards…
I used a couple stamp and die sets from Memory Box today…
So tickled with how cute this turned out! A little plane with personality!
Memory Box Flying High stamp set and Flying High die set…then I needed a city below, YES! I die cut the city scene from the Memory Box Open Studios Wide Open Spaces set. The perfect complementary size!
I think this could be used for a lot of occasions but would make up cute for a Valentine too!
This happy, singing moose is from the Memory Box Moose Crossing stamp set and Moose Crossing die set.
I LOVE all the accessory pieces in these stamp and die sets! So easy to mix and match and they die cut wonderfully with the magnetic platforms. I don’t tape down with these at all!
The music notes are from the Hoppy Holiday stamp set and Hoppy Holiday die set. A super cute frog set that will make cute love/valentine/anytime cards also!
Mr. Moose’s sweater is stamped with the cross hatch cloud stamp from the Flying High stamp set! It worked out perfect upside down! lol Tip…if a little inks over to the white border… yep, that good ‘ole white gel pen to the rescue!
He is colored with Copic Sketch Markers.
I used the poppystamps Classic Ribbons dies for the two little banners in the upper left corner. The little heart die is from the Memory Box Cross Stitched Hearts dies. The big heart die cut from the red panel and the white heart are both cut with the Memory Box Open Studio Cross Stitch My Heart die set.
The red panel is cut with Memory Box Cross Stitched Frame Borders, partially die cut. Line up the cutting plates where you want it to stop cutting.
Versafine Black ink for the sentiment. A staple to hold the banners in place. I did ink the white heart background with a little Broken China Distress ink.
Love is in the air today in this post anyway! lol
Thanks for stopping by! and thank you so much for the get well wishes! It helps! : )
Shopping Links – what I used for these cards… * I love using the on the edge cutting plates for these images instead of the standard plates. They fit right on your platform and allow for faster crank through! I keep the stamp set and the die set in the same Avery Elle Pocket.
Hi everyone! Here I am with inky fingers, posting a card and the two winners of the NEW Memory Box Stitched Oval Layers Die sets! YAY!
I used some Hobby Lobby watercolor paper, Distress inks, Wilted Violet and Peacock Feathers. Brushed on some water, brushed on some color, dried with the heat tool but…don’t try to pick off any black marks! That’s what happened in the bottom right dark violet area. Silly me, just leave it alone! When you try to remove, it makes it white! So then, you add more color and the paper pills up, so then, you have a mess and end up darker and remembering again why you should just leave well enough alone!!! Will I ever learn?! Rolling my eyes at myself! : )
I decided to post it anyway…running out of daylight (for photos) so no starting over and I wanted to post the winners!
I spritzed some pearl spray into the drops of Distress ink refills but it’s hard to see it in the pictures. boo. It’s really a nice touch though. The green leaves are Twisted Citron Distress ink. There was a time in my life when I would’ve never put these colors together! WOW! I’ve changed! lol
Die cut the Susanna Blossom, emboss it, leave it in the die, flip it over and ink it with Wilted Violet Distress ink and the ink blending tool. I spritzed it a little with the pearl spray too but be careful cuz it moves easy! You don’t want too much. (I had to do it twice) lol
The ‘happy spring’ sentiment is from the Springtime Bunnies stamp set. There is also a ‘thinking of you’ in the set and it would work nicely also. I’ll link you up to everything below.
SO…..DRUMROLL or Cymbals…you pick… haha
THE WINNERS ARE… #38 Linda Pearce and #42 AnnieC! Congratulations gals! I will email you. I’ll need your snail mail address. Happy die cutting to you!
Thanks so much everyone for commenting and following my blog! I love coming here and showing you what I’ve been up to! If you could see my email inbox, you’d know I love seeing what you all are up to too! lol
Have a great rest of the week and weekend! ttul!
