I'm bringing you the rest of the weekend crafting today along with some complete senility. I didn't post my fave card yesterday! I'll put that at the end after my Sunday creations.

I love a good bird, as you know, so I picked a bird and sunflower combo for this card, with a layering word die. It's hard to see but that one branch that looks brown is gold foil, so I used gold glitter paper over vellum with the layering word die. 

All of the things I'm using except for my senile card are here, to save you time.

This is all from a beautiful layering stencil, and yes I used the same greeting dies. I'm weird like that.

This is actually my favorite card. I showed it on my live yesterday because the photo doesn't do it justice. It's so shimmery and amazing. It uses a 3D embossing folder, embossing ink, and copper and gold pastels. 

But here's where I prove how crazy I am about using every scrap of glitter paper  - see the little leaves flying out away from the sentiment? Those are the pieces from the inside of the letter die cut! YES I AM THAT CRAZY.

Photographing this card almost did me in. I LOVE white on white cards with embossing, but holy cats my camera will not cooperate. It REVERSES the texture - so bizarre. I don't have time for  the physics of it all. Instead, I went outside to the fencepost where I feed the squirrels (see my neighbor's roof peeking through?), and took a few snaps with my iPhone. Luckily I had some sunlight. So it's not the best photo in the world, but at least you can see this stunning poinsettia embossing folder. It has a die - so I cut a piece of white cardstock with the die, and then just taped it into the EF and embossed it - I love this - I've never had a folder with a die like this before. And yes, I cannot stop using that sentiment die.

And, because I'm senile - I FORGOT THIS CARD yesterday! What a ding dong!!

I love this desert scene and I piled ALL the little scenic dies into it. So cute.

In case you missed my update - I'm taking a week off my lives, starting tomorrow to get some things done before Maddie's surgery. However, I will be scheduling premieres on YouTube during my normal slot, so we will still be able to chat live. FYI those two embossing folders are a little delayed, but you will see them here.

I hope you have a great week. 

Loveyameanitbye.
