Nestabilities


My Dear Wonderful and Loving Husband Keith bought me four sets of nestabilities for Christmas.
Today was the first time I've had the time to use them.
I couldn't find a sandwich that would work without embossing. So after searching the net with no luck I just started playing with my Big Shot and came up with this sandwich.
Bottom-Top
Bottom platform, nestie, CS (double thin CS/single thick CS),
1 clear cutting mat, red crease pad on top.
This doesn't damage the platform and doesn't cut into the cutting pad anymore than a normal sizzix die.
This works for my machine with no embossing. Hope this
works for all of you.

Eastern Blooms Birthday


Eastern Blooms Birthday.
This is the better of the two Eastern Blooms Birthday cards I
made today.
This was a real challenge for me I'm not a real fan of this
set (not sure why I have it) and I don't use soft subtles much
but I like how these turned out. These will make nice winter birthday cards.

I felt the need to work on something not Christmas today.
I have several Birthday's in Feb so it's a good
time to get a head start while in the mood.

These are gift tags and gift tag holders. The light really stinks in my room at this time of evening. They look much better in person. I'll take a new pic tomorrow.

Furnished with Love



No idea why but I fell in love with this set.
Here is the only card I've made using this set.
The shade is stamped on pink and popped up with a pop dot.
The inside says A Birthday wish just a shade late.
It's been a bad stamping day it's so dark in my house.
Hubby really needs to go and find me some track lights for my
new stamp room.
