Please share. This is what I did. The one one my left is the finished card front of the peony layering dies from AliExpress the other one is some left overs I’ll use at another time. So here goes the process of making this card. I was only able to find the top and middle layer but couldn’t find the bottom layer.I figured out a solution to create the bottom layer. Had it been the top two layers missing it would not have been possible to make this card look the way it was meant to be. I adhered the top two to layers together and then adhered it to a solid piece of paper behind. Then I cut the top layer again in white and used the middle part of the cut out and placed it in between the colored flowers. Now the leaves need some work but I got tired by that time. I figure it out another time. This dang card front took me hours to get it right. I went through several pieces different colored papers to get the right look I was after. I’m very slow at making things because I can’t make up my mind. Well I’m rambling on. Here is the finished project.  here is one I made weeks ago using the 2 layers.  here are the left over layers I’ll use in other cards  |

I keep moving my craft space, so my "creating" has been organizing. I store my mini ink pads upside down and it drives me nuts picking them up and flipping them over constantly to find the right color. I have started stamping on paper and finding a card stock scrap that will work for each pad. Then I use a 3/4" circle punch and adhere it to the bottom. Once that is done, I need to clear my space. I was dumb and volunteered to be the Box Tops 4 Education coordinator for our school, so the desk will be cleared for that task.  |

Yesterday I helped to make a gift tag for a birthday gift. It was DD's first time heat embossing, and I think she enjoyed it. Maybe she'll help me use up some of my supplies! Today I'm back to scrapbooking, hoping to meet a bunch of the challenges I missed this week. Pretty cards, jstblondie  |

jstblondie - those are beautiful! no crafting for me this weekend yet - yesterday I ran a World Thinking Day event for our community (Girl Scouts) and then loaded up cookies for a cookie booth and then grocery shopping ...by then I almost had enough energy to watch an episode of The Crown (although I was yawning up a storm by the end) Today? housework and collected cookies from another cookie booth, a GS firearm safety class this afternoon, and more housework. PLus I need to count money and reconcile accounts for both our Thinking Day collection and patch order and the two cookie booths. I might get to a layout tonight but ...

I tried out some new product. I sorted some stuff. And I made an even bigger mess to deal with this week.

I'm playing with the Fabric kit. Did 1 layout on Friday and been working on a 2nd most of the day (with lots of breaks) Might try for a 3rd before I break up the kit. While I like the pieces they're not feeling like the easiest to use together.

They are in those mini plastic drawers right now. I can easily move them. |

I cleaned up a messy corner in my craft room. I had about 8 boxes of supplies that hadn’t been opened. I also did some other cleaning in there and 4 layouts. Not bad for just a Sunday.

No crafting for me this weekend. I am home now and looking at all the awesome creations posted in the challenge threads and the Gallery. Love those cards, jstblondie. And I can see where the different layers would be fun to play around with as stencils. Haven't picked up any of those layered dies yet, but they definitely look tempting. |
