Gina Marie Stitched Heart/Rectangle with MFT You Have My Heart

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday!  Today I'm featuring this sweet little lovey card on my blog.  

This image by MFT, You Have My Heart is so sweet!  We just got a new puppy named Scout, so I understand this sentiment perfectly!

I am sooooo darned excited that Gina Marie Designs has come out with this gorgeous stitched heart set.  It is a true heart shape, so lovely and wow, the deals on this die set!!!  Go check out these stitched dies now using  links!  Gina Marie Designs Stitched Hearts!  Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangles!

In fact, it's been a while since I've shown off Scout, she's the quizzical looking pup with the giant radar dish ears on the left!  She's our loving pound puppy that's given our old gal Dahlila a new lease on life!  They play, sleep and eat all day together.  They both have my heart!

OSAT Blog Hop - Thank You

Hello everyone, welcome to the OSAT Blog Hop - Thank You themed.  You should have arrived here from the very talented Martie's blog, if not, use the list below to go back so you don't miss a thing!

Today, I'm going to show you how you can use 1 set of stamps and 1 die to make 2 very opposite Thank You cards.  I just love this Mama Elephant "Christmas Scene" set, Mama Elephant Christmas Scene.  So often, we put away our christmas stamps once the holidays are over.  However, look closer!  I was able to take the little houses and trees and make this gorgeous summer card!

#mamaelephant

As for this amazing background die!  Gina at Gina Marie Designs has given me permission to give you an early peek at this BRAND NEW stitched quilt die that will be in her shop in just a few weeks.  I can assure you that it cuts so smoothly. like butter, you will love it!  Gina is taking pre-orders now, here's the link to check out the amazing price and order!

Gina Marie Designs Stitched Quilt #1 - Pre-Order

So...I've taken those same stamps and die, and made this really cute winter Thank You card.  Notice, rather than coloring the houses and trees as I did on my other card, I stamped them off on the same paper I used on the quilt and handcut them out.  I think it's a nice and different look!

I love their dies, so many great designs and so many more on the way.  I've been told there will be 40 new designs coming out very soon!!!  2.  I love to enable all my friends, the prices on these dies are so super affordable, that makes me happy to promote a company that sells great dies at great prices!

So you've probably noticed this amazing Falling Snow die..here it is, just click on the pic and it will take you right to the shop!  This is what I used as my background layer and I just love the look of it!
