managed to find a little time to craft- me time seems to be getting less and less. it's winter here in tasmania and whilst I'm not a fan of the rain it would be a good time to get some crafting done.

A new die 2
This was another die from inlovearts . I also used their swiss dots embossing folder for the background. so you get the branch , the bow and the tiny dots in the set.

A new die
I have recently got some of their dies and an embossing folder.
I made a couple of cards with this die above - I'm not sure this is my thing- after I put all bits in place I really wasn't happy and put them both through embossing folders- liked them a bit more, but now I have made two cards that's it for me not something I would keep making.Any ideas ?
The die is called Inlovearts Circle and Geometry Shapes Background Cutting Dies

paper ? not quite
These two dark cards were transparent stickers, sadly only one sheet but it made two cards.
The other sheets all had white edges but I added them to white card so it's not so bad - the sticker sheets cost $1 for the pack and will make about 12 cards so pretty cheap to create.

some bunny
I thought this might make a good valentines/ anniversary card cos we all need a little love. The cup is green but it was so sunny it's hard to see, inside the bunny ears are pink.

No floors
So two bedrooms have had the new floors and it was a perfect opportunity to get in there with a paint brush and smarten things up. All the bedroom furniture, my craft table and supplies and carpets have been sitting in our lounge room , our dining table is in the garage so there has been no space or place to craft. I have bought a few new crafty bits but I have no idea when I will find some me time to craft..

Say cheese
Lets craft and Create- challenge 212- A/G or add purple . I used a light and a dark ink pad to add some shade.
I've had this stamp set for many years , I think it may be memory keepers / american crafts ? I didn't stamp the inner circle with heart as the wonky circle doesn't seem to match the straight line of the camera. I take my pics with a small red camera and sadly it is reflected in the silver cardstock I have used.

Second chance
Last week I took a box of craft items to my local charity shop - lots of paper -punches that have now been replaced with dies -embossing folders which came with magazines that have never been used - embellishments and other bits I no longer use . I also threw away partial sheets of peel off stickers in gold and silver ,some of these were over 20 years old .
The tree die was also in the charity box , used once in 2019 . I gave it a second chance and made this Christmas card - I'm not sure I like it any better 5 years done the line - it may well be in the next donation box.
Do you have this die from Kaisercraft and what have you made with it.
