It’s June 1st, and time to announce the winner of my May drawing! Congratulations Shirley A. !!! I’ll be sending you the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set.

Everyone else who ordered a minimum of $75.00 in May will receive the Simply Shammy, which I’ll be mailing soon. It’s the color of Fresh Freesia! 

Now, for today’s card, a favorite suite from the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, Expressions In Ink. You’ll find it on pages 96 and 97. Plus, clicking on the pictures in my Product List will take you to my store for shopping.

Artistic Die-Cut

I began, as I often do, with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.  Then, I cut a layer of Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and an additional cut, on the right side, with a Scalloped Contours Die. 

After cutting, I embossed it with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder.

Before gluing the layer to the card base, I glued a 1/4″ strip of black & white, True Love Designer Paper, on the left side, leaving 1/8″ showing.

The stage was set for my focal point, cut with an Artistic Die from Expressions In Ink Designer Paper. I photographed it on top of the pattern I used for cutting. Now, you can see how it was easily colored.

And, gluing the intricate die-cut was easy also, using the Silicone Craft Sheet method. I added a spot of glue to the Silicone sheet, rubbed the sponge in the glue, and blotted the backside of the die-cut. Just be careful not to move it while blotting (as with a stencil) to avoid getting glue on the front.

You can see the design of glue from the die-cut, which was washed clean with water.

The sentiment, “best wishes’ is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, stamped in Stazon Ink, and cut with a Potted Succulents Die. Doesn’t the label fit the words perfectly?

Let’s see what’s in store for June.
