Nice Cuppa Tea

The A Nice Cuppa stamp set, with Cups & Kettle Framelit dies
(pages 34-5 in the Occasions Mini) is a delightful combination
that enables sentimental cards or spectacular invitations.
It is so reminiscent of grandparents and special times together.
Given the coordinating product, it's easy to put together
images for a variety of occasions.

WWC50 Paper Pieced Butterfly

http://watercoolerchallenges.blogspot.ca/
This week is Jean's Quilt Style Paper Piecing Challenge WWC50.


Jean offered a lovely sample photo, showing
a number of different approaches to this challenge.

I felt that a butterfly would be a lovely quilted piece, so used the
Bold Butterfly Framelits on page 172 and
the Wildflower Fields DSP paper on page 12 of the SAB
brochure.  This DSP is wonderful, especially given that
it is FREE!   The sentiment comes from Butterfly Basics set
on page 124.  I wanted to add more texture, so embossed the
Blackberry Bliss layer with the Boho Chic Textured
Embossing Folder.

Now please head for the Watercooler Wednesday 
Challenge site and add your interpretation!

Balloon Builder Flower

I was just messing around with Balloon Builders on
page 14 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I wanted to try
to make a flower, so this is one of my attempts.
