Thank You So Much

Happy Friday, everyone and Happy Halloween!! Did you dress up today?? If so, what was your costume?? Wow, it's been almost a week since I've posted. I had family visiting from Seattle and have been trying to catch up since they left, but it's overwhelming. If I haven't been around to your blog to visit, I will soon :)

It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog HERE and I have a project to share with you using two of the newest dies from the October release.


The papers are from My Mind's Eye and the edges have been lightly distressed with a Zutter DIA. A new Die-Versions Cut Out Thank You die was used for the focal point of this card. These cut out dies are so awesome - you can position them anywhere on the page and the sentiment just stands out so beautifully.


"So Much" is from the new Typewriter Font die set. The butterflies are Wee Petites Buggy dies. They were covered in sugar coating and popped up with foam tape.

The matching envelope features a Whispers Butterfly Kisses die also covered in sugar coating. The border along the top is a Whispers Lacy Dots die.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I have some exciting news to share with you next week so I hope you will stop back by!! Have a wonderful weekend!! :)

    So beautiful Lisa! I love how the die cuts out in the middle of the paper, and speaking of paper-oh my word, that paper is fabulous! Love the sugar coated butterflies and that gorgeous envelope that you made. How fun to have family visiting, but yes, it is hard to catch back up especially the older I get! lol Hugs, Brenda

    My sweetest friend, this card and envelope set is stunning! It's bursting with such joy and happiness.. I already miss seeing butterflies outside. (It's been snowing for the past several hours! Eeeeep!) The new dies are fabulous! I especially love the butterflies, naturally. :o) The papers are so pretty and the lacy banner on the envelope is gorgeous. Beautifully done as always, my dearest Lisa! Have a happy weekend. :o)

    This is gorgeous LIsa! The papers are so pretty and I love the fun dies! The butterflies are so sparkly and just pop out! I absolutely love the matching envelope! Great job as always my friend!

    Hope you are enjoying your Halloween evening! Also, hoping you got a little rest and relaxation in when your company left...I am sure you all had a great time together. It is a bit overwhelming when you miss a few days from blogging/crafting......know the feeling:( I swear I have been playing catch up all year!
    Hugs my friend!

    Happy that you got to enjoy some 'down time' and spend it with family. Love the colors you've got in this strong contrast with this gorgeous cutout die. So very dramatic and effective. Of course your trims & layers always enhance any die that you use for a card. TFS & Big hugs. Don't fret about slow visits! We all understand. Life has priority over crafting & blogging! Hugs
