Best Wishes. Slim Card

 Last year I discovered new stamps and die from Diamond Press. I just love the ease of use of their stamps and dies. I love the variety and versatility. As usual I use different products in my creations so this was a great addition to my crafting collection. I also purchased their manual die cut machine. The Marquise.  If you follow my blog you know I was an avid Cuttlebug user and had my blog The Cuttlebug Spot featuring  creations with it. The cuttlebug has been discontinued so I was searching for something to replace it and came upon this little machine called the Marquise. It does not use any type of plates just a simple plastic folder similar to the embossing folders . Visit their site for more info  . The sell products on their website and also on HSN.  I love it and although I still have my Cuttlebug, I have come to love my Marquis as well.  This is a card with a new set named Garden Window recently released for slim line cards.

Happy 18th Birthday

 Today I have a few posts to share some of my favorite purchases during the past months. This one is from Anna Griffin's Gentleman's Study craft box. I love this kit because its always hard to make male cards.  The numbers are cut from my Circuit and embossed. This card was for my son's 18th birthday.  

My first share this year is a few cards made from an old Anna Griffin card kit from 2014. Yes they were sitting in a box since then! I decided to make these to have on hand and not panic when a birthday is coming up and I don't have time to make a card.
