 Hello Friends,

Here is a card made for a dear bloggy friend's birthday today.  She's confirmed she has received it so I am posting it although it was made almost a month ago.

Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Birthday Hilary.

 Hi There,

A few cards that haven't been posted:

 Then I was adding to the thank yous...with a sweet gifted cat set of stamps and dies.

That is it for now. Have a lovely day. Thanks for visiting.

 Hello-

I am filling up holes in my stash.  For this group of cards my focal image is a stencil from Waffle Flower. Its the NPC Peony stencil. It fits on a smaller postage stamp die.  I used altenew inks in one of the pink families and a green one. The blue is blue print sketch distress ink. The sentiments are from Altenew.

  

 

Since my stash is so low I am making multiples of most cards.  Someone is going to have to employ some problem solving skills on one of these cards. It opens on the wrong side.  

 

On another thing I wanted to share...I have poor grip strength, to the point of thumb joint pain when I release my hands from a squeeze.  So glue, which is my go to, has been challenging.  Peggy gifted me the 

precision glue press.  At first that worked well, but once a bit of glue was out it was not a good tool for my and my hands.  Fortunately, I recently found the We R Makers glue squeeze.  It looks like a mini caulking gun and I've been using it for about a month. That was 35+ cards and almost a full refillable cylinder of glue used with no hand issues.

Has anyone else found a new fun and useful tool?

Thanks for stopping by.
