I told you I had saved some of my favorite sets from this release to show off today.  I had so much fun with my Die-namics on this one.  I always like to see how many I can squeeze in on this post each month. I've got lots of them here and I LOVE how they all work together. I was realllllly excited to play with the new GIRLY GRAPHIC TEE STAMP AND DIE-NAMICS.  That's what's up first.

I really liked how the CIRCLE STAX SET 1 DIE-NAMICS fit so well into the DESIGNER LABEL 1 STAX DIE-NAMICS from my anniversary card earlier this week, so did it again today. I also tucked in a smaller RECTANGLE STAX SET 1 behind  the main image.

Teacher appreciation week is next week and I know I told you I was done with my cards, but when I counted all the ones I had, I realized I needed one more. I cut the Tee Die-namics twice, once with the canvas fabric and then again from whip cream cs.  I needed to add a little stability to my t-shirt, so I attached the fabric one to the cardstock one.

I stamped the sentiment in Really Rust ink and then added a custom, blinged flower to it.  I LOVE the MINI ROYAL ROSES, the smallest one is my favorite one. It's so small and cute and it was the perfect size to accent this Tee.




Here's a close up. Can you see the detail of the seams on the  Tee?  I dig that about the Die-namics.....emboss and cut at the same time.


Check out  some fun ways to do up the Tee with different sentiments! So fun!


 Here is the inside of the card. I used the sentiment from last months, à la mode-An Apple for Teacher, RECTANGLE STAX SET 1, and a bit of the SQUIGGLE BORDER DIE-NAMICS.


The other goodie I have to share today is a fun little altered notebook I did up. Who wouldn't love to have this in their purse to pull out to jot down  those lists, things to remember, a crafty inspiration on the go???  I'm still debating whether to keep this or give it away. 

This new à la mode, I've got Your Back, is sooo cool and way cute.  Those jumbo letters just scream to be paper pieced. I used more of the earthy tones from Pink Paislee's Prarie Hill and pieced up the U and R. 




The ALM was stamped on x-press blending cs and colored with copics. I added a touch of bling to her hair. I couldn't resist after I added the rhinestones to the SQUIGGLE BORDER DIE-NAMICS. There is a touch of scallops, too, thanks to the new MINI SCALLOP EDGE DIE-NAMICS. I really love those teeny tiny scallops.

Check out what I found out while trying to find just the right Die-namics to house my sentiment, fabulous. The mini wavy pennant die-namics fit perfectly down the side of the "R".  It's finished off with a button tied up with some Butter Cream twine.





Now hop on over to Kim's Blog....you'll find all you need to know about today's line up!

  13. Both projects are beautiful... the second project, however, is my favorite! I just love the idea of personalizing little spiral notebooks, because my mom & I always carry one & use it to record everything. My favorite detail is the way you anchored the word "Fabulous" to the letter "R" with the button & the little bow tied with baker's twine. So cute! <3
