Sizzix Triple Circle Flip-Its Cards

Image
I thought I would show you some cards today made with  Sizzix's Triple Circle Flip-its die set , by Stephanie Barnard. I love all the Flip-its dies , especially with their wonderfully handy layer dies that they come with them, and this Triple Circle Flip-its is a lot of fun to decorate. This card was really easy to make into traffic lights, along with the Sizzix Framelits Dies & Stamp -Cars set. I decorated this card with stamps and dies from The Stamps of Life . This card was decorated with a Sizzix tag , and Sizzix stamp . And finally, I decorated this card with snowman elements from these stamps and die sets from The Stamps of Life, and the tag and sentiment stamps from this set . Some of the products used:

Thrift Chair Redo

Hey there!  It's Friday!  Without a doubt, the best day of the week, yes? A few weeks ago, I picked up this chair at a yard sale for 8 bucks.  It was marked $10, but I did a little bargaining...... :) I don't know why, but I was really drawn to it.  Then when I got it home, I had no idea what I wanted to do with it, so, it sat outside, neglected, for a couple weeks.  And then finally, I had an idea.  Because I sometimes get ahead of myself, I painted it white BEFORE removing all the fabric.  I knew I wanted it white, so, I thought if I got that done, I could figure out what direction I wanted to go in for the rest of the chair. Because the wood was so old and porous, it sucked up the white spray paint like crazy, so it took A LOT of coats before it finally looked good. THEN, I completely stripped the chair to find the upholstery webbing in pretty sad shape. So, I removed all of it and replaced it with new jute webbing, available at any fabric store....

Sizzix Eat More Cake Step-Up Birthday Card

I loved making this card! I used Stephanie Barnard's  Basic Step-Up Card die for the base, and Brenda Walton's Layered Cake die for the cake sections and scalloped trims. I used a Tim Holtz Handwritten stamp set for the cake sentiment, and an Altenew 'Label Love' stamp for the Happy Birthday. The candle stamp is from Stampin' Up's Balloon Bash set, and papers are from First Edition's Bella Rose pad. Some of the products used:
