Hello from PA! We have a second Nor'easter coming through our area over the next couple of days, which means we will be home bound for a day or two. I hope some of that time can be spent making cards! Meanwhile out in Indiana, a sweet friend of mine had bilateral hip replacement surgery yesterday, so she needs a MAJOR pick-me-up after that! She and I have known each other since we were 11, when we became penpals through a sticker collecting club - it's a neat story.
Moving on, she was a cheerleader in high school and could use some cheering up herself right now, so I made this for her:
Let me tell you what a game-changer the
Sizzix Framelits Triple Circle Flip-Its die is! I've literally had this for over 2 years and never used it... I had these
cute little pandas from Clearly Besotted and knew they needed to be showcased... they're a match made in my craft room!
The Die set includes lots of options for building up the 3 circles - I chose the fitted scallop circle with a slightly smaller dotted circle as my mat for each circle. I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out my pandas since I don't have the dies, and I colored the little cuties with Copics.
Of course I popped each panda out with a 3D foam dot!
This card took me less than an hour from start to finish - these Sizzix dies are a GAME CHANGER! The only thing I'm not crazy about was not having a great space to write in. I put a mat on the back, but others may want to hide the writing part.
Wishing her a speedy recovery as we will be spending a week with her family in June and plan on doing lots of fun things together! Hopefully everyone stays safe if you're in the weather pattern this week - stay warm and be crafty!!
