Oh, my goodness, there are some pretty dies out there! Altenew and Lawn Fawn and Sizzix and Hero Arts, and so many more! My favorites are the butterflies and flowers dies plus anything hearts. I think the "cover plates" are just fabulous. Well, it is nice to dream and it will be nice when my coffers are refilled at some point in the future!
WELL...I just started reading a book called "The Year of Less". Too bad, because this being the first of the month is a good time to make changes in my own life. I am thinking, though have not actually acted yet, that I should go to all those websites that have shopping carts partly filled with wonderful dies, and delete the carts. Rats. It really is a good idea. There are some things I would like to do in the somewhat distant future that will require funds. In order to have them at my disposal, now seems a good time to "go with less". We shall see. I will let you know if I am successful.
In the meantime, I did find one "all over" die hidden away in a box, and used it to make this card. The Gelli print was the first part, then the die cut, then gluing it all together. I am pretty happy with the card. And the envelope, though they do not match. I was out at Michaels today for some necessities and started to pick up some more 180-sheet paper pads to put in my shopping cart when I remembered "go with less"...so I put them back. So, envelopes will continue to be the paper we currently have. Oh well.
This card rather appeals to me. Plus I love the little star confetti that is now available!
