I wanted some flat bottomed clouds and dang nab it, I was going to have them…..   so I’ve got a technique video to share with you today on how to partial die cut, it’s such a great way to get more from your dies…   much better than rushing out and buying more, just ask my husband.

Nearly a ‘Craft Dash’…

Hey there I’m back today with a quick card. I’m so happy because I finally had a chance to use a Jessi original crocheted mat and I tell you they are the sweetest, you can buy them at her amazing BLOG and if you haven’t met her yet I suggest you pop on over she is truly wonderful!

Another Craft Dash card and I was a little too ambitious today, although in my defense I would have made it in the time frame except that my Versamarker decided to die right in the middle of colouring my stroller…  panic stations (lol) what will I do….  so I diluted my new tumbled glass distress marker and painted a light covering….. but by then I was too late, but I thought I would share anyway.    I would also like to share this card with the Simon Says Stamp challenge which is Transport.  Not your normal form of transport, but it does have wheels.

This another card I made a tutorial for at the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.  I’ve been having just too much fun with this tag and stamp set from My Favourite Things.  I also have some wonderful new cloud dies and have put them to good use to create the background using chalk.  I totally love this effect, and if you’ve been here before then you know that I’m telling the truth.  It was also super easy to create the ‘baby girl’ border sentiment using the Compact Fiskars Stamp Press, because it has a grid on it and is see through!   As usual I have linked all of my supplies below or you can just head direct to Scrapbook Boutique and have a look for yourself!  Anyway, here is the card…
