I love Gerber Daisies and your card and glass case are so very lovely. Thanks for the tutorial. Was must helpful. I picked up a few tips by watching.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day
Good morning Darsie,
ReplyDeleteThis Spellbinders trip is not fair because you end up needing all of the new dies because of the endless amount of things that goes through your brain at the one time. I just love the new flower die and like today's embossing folder it is not a want scenario but a need as they are so beautiful. I love both your beautiful projects done with today's titbit. The card is so beautiful i know just the person that i would make that for. The glasses case comes from my other love or one of them, sewing. I like the fact that you can use the dies in material as well because you get more uses for your money.
Thank you Darsie for sharing with us your treasures,
Love and crafty hugs
