Don't believe one minute that you could take Chompster his watermelon! With such a thick fur, this is like wearing a Winter coat. Have you tried to wander around with a fur coat in a hot Summer?! Don't insist, he won't let go of that melon, be sure of that.  And I can totally understand. Watermelon is my friend.

Sharing a birthday card for a sweet birthday girl. I used the Sweet stack layers from @trinitystampsllc and cute bears from their Just add sprinkles stamp set. Products Just add sprinkles and Sweeet stack layers (Trinity Stamps) Hey cupcake (Photoplay) #trinitystamps #cardmaking #handmadecards #diecutting

Mixing the new @trinitystamps I lava you sentiment die with the Sweet stack layers die set was so obvious to me, as was the need to light this card up!

I have a fun interactive card today with the Snap 'n slide from @pearblossompress. The Snap 'n slide is perfect to create slider cards. I used a prototype on my card but the good news is the new Snap 'n slide hit the store. It complements the original disk which you can now find in the store as Snap 'n spin disks. Where the Snap 'n slide has 3 legs to glide within the slot the Snap 'n spin has just one leg and can therefore spin 360°. Both are great products to have in your stash for interactive projects and they really make spinners and sliders super easy!

I'm sharing another project with a couple die sets from the last @trinitystamps release. The new Beach ball die set is an add-on to their Circle shaped card die set, but I thought it would also work well in a scene. In the background, I used the new Tiny island die set and added a sand bucket using their Shovel and Pail shaker die set released a couple years ago. Trinity Stamps Products: Beach ball die set Tiny island die set Funfetti alphabetti die set Shovel and Pail shaker die set Ranger Distress oxides: Mustard seed, Spiced marmalade, Speckled egg, Salty ocean, Twisted citron, Rustic wilderness and Tea dye #trinitystamps #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #handmadecards #diecutting

A little sightseeing in New York City! An excuse to both use the new @stampingbella Lady Liberty stamp and wish a Happy 4th of July to my US crafty friends... Lady Liberty is as much French as she is American, so I have a soft spot for her and her entering the Oddball family is making my day. If you like the Oddballs too, come back tomorrow, as I'll share another card with them!
