Some days I get carried away…are three cards in a post too many? well…fortunately I didn’t take a picture of the first card I sent off to Printworks and one other card I didn’t like well enough to post… so whew… it was almost five! lol
When the Piano Border die came out… it was a MUST HAVE it! I grew up playing the piano and still like to play once in awhile. I taught piano lessons for years and once in awhile I work with the grandkids. Fun.
So I’ll start with the Grand Piano card!
A 5 ½ inch square card, hand cut to resemble a Grand Piano. The Piano Border die, the Calozonia Frame die for the Music rack. I cut and embossed the frame die in the Big Shot but extra embossed it with the stylus… a couple of my videos show how to do that.
I really did stamp the sentiment with a good black ink pad… not sure why the light hit it and lightened it for the pictures. I do have double mounting squares under the centers of each side of the pages, so they’d curve a bit. grrrr I’m not taking the photos over, I’m not! lol
My Grand Piano card was in the Weekly Favorites over at Splitcoast Stampers! Thank you so much ladies!

I spritzed the new Floral Mesh stencil with a bit of glimmer mist on watercolor paper for the background…layered up card-stock and pattern paper with my Perfect Layers Tools, cut the Venita Flourish and butterfly body from silver glitter card-stock, added some loops with May Arts purple cord, added the the Oriel and Lunette Butterflies on top and stamped part of the sentiment with the stamp a ma jig! It’s an A-2 size card.

HI Pam!!! Love that piano card!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll need to get that die and make Nick a card!!!
The piano is too cool, very creative, loving the swirls behind the butterfly and great background, and like how you made a window card with that last die, with a touch of color, so pretty!
Thanks for a chance to win the dies!!!
Hi Pam- you could make 10 cards a day- that is fine with me :). Your piano is simply stunning! WOW!!! The butterfly is simply elegant. Appreciate you sharing all your talent with us!

All three of these cards are just beautiful but the Luna Butterfly card is my absolute favorite and I just LOVE the Thinking of You card! It is very unique and I love the effect!!! Would be over the moon to win the butterfly dies!!! They hold a special place in my heart because of a little 7 year old boy who used to love butterflies!! He left us 10 years ago at 7 years old and whenever I see one I think of him!! ((((((((((((((((HUGS JOESPH)))))))))))) Thanks for sharing your work with me!!
I always love all the things you create. Would love to win one of the dies but I don’t have a blog so I can’t do the frog link. Oh, well. I just want you to know how much I enjoy your blog and creations. Wow, what an inspiration. The piano card should be framed somewhere where there is lots of music. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the chance to win. Just started using dies, now I’m hooked.

Saw these cards on the MB blog and wanted to come over and tell you how much I liked them! Especially love the butterfly card, when I saw this yesterday I was thinking to myself that I need to order this one at my local stamp store…so thank you for doing a giveaway! I love the misted background and how you used the die behind the butterfly too. Also love how creative the piano is with the music book and holder. Thank you for sharing.
