Happy Birthday and Thinking of You Cards
Here are three cards I made this last week. Each uses a different technique, but all were easy to create.
The first card was made using an embossing folder and a stamp set that were included in the Tonic Cardmaking Magazine. The magazine is now sold out. I covered the embossed image with:
Nuvo Embellishment Mousse - Pure Platinum (color) - Nuvo. The stained glass stamped image was colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens
I stamped random flower pots to create this background. This did a stripe of copper/bronze to accent each one. The card base also had bronze silks to tie in the colors. Hello is a die from FSJ.
The last card is layers of matching pink card stock and ribbon. I used my Altenew Watercolor Half Pans to color the flowers and leaves. Then covered the flower and leaves with FSJ Journey Glaze to give it shine. Stamp set is from FSJ also.

Anniversary Cards
Life got a bit hectic this last week, so I am a little behind on posting here to my blog. Even though I Haven't posted, I have been creating numerous styles of cards. Today I will share the two anniversary cards I made.
Tonic Cardmaking Magazine (Tulips)
Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils
Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils
FSJ Yummy Dots Embossing Folder
FSJ Rainbow Drops
FSJ Heart Strip Die Set
I used the die cut hearts (the pieces that were cut out) as accents on the inside and back of both cards. Felt it added an extra touch to both of them.
Thank you for visiting my blog today.

A Day of Butterflies - Note Cards
I love butterflies and was so excited to find a set of laser cut chipboard ones from Bo Bunny. Chipboard can be easily covered with Fun Stampers Journey Silks to completely give them a metallic look (or any color you would like). For these, I used both the Bronze and the Silver Silks from Fun Stampers Journey.
Just a reminder that I will only be a Fun Stampers Journey Coach
until the end of this month. If there is anything you would like to
order, here's the link to my website: https://www.funstampersjourney.com/marydirector
As of November 1, FSJ will be merging with Spellbinders and there will be a NEW website to order from. I will post the link when it becomes available.
I have been very blessed to have a great customer base the last 3 years. Thank you to every one that supported me by placing orders, watching my videos, following my blog & Facebook business page. It really has meant a great deal to me.

No sentiments on my cards today. I wanted them for note cards, that I could use for any occasion. I discovered that the Journey Glaze works GREAT to adhere the chipboard to my card background. After I glued it on, I placed the card upside down on plastic and weighted it down so that it would help spread the glaze and keep the butterfly flat. Worked extremely well.

Good News To Share - My Lucky Day AND FSJ Steel Rule Dies
About 6 weeks ago I found out that I had won a contest through Crafter's Companion. I was one of 7 people chosen to receive a brand new Gemini electric die cutting machine. It arrived today!!!
This last year I had a frozen shoulder and also went through a couple of months of physical therapy. So hand cranking our wonderful Fun Stampers Journey Platinum Machine just wasn't an option. Hal was doing all my die cutting for me (such an awesome guy). He decided I needed the Gemini Jr (smaller version of the one I got today) so that I could craft anytime I wanted not just when he had time to help. I really love the Gemini Jr and use it often.
The Gemini machines (both sizes) can handle thin metal dies and embossing folders, but none of the steel rule dies. Our Journey Platinum Machine can handle the thin metal dies, the embossing folders, and all of the steel rule dies.
I can see I will have lots of fun crafting time ahead of me. It truly was a blessing to receive the larger Gemini machine. Now all my thin metal dies can easily be cut out whether I use the Gemini or the Platinum - there are a few that require an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock. And when I want to use my FSJ Steel Rule Dies, I have my Platinum Machine. The steel rule dies cut like butter. You can cut up to 8 pieces of card stock with them. The steel rule dies are on pages 308 through 313 of the main catalog. If they have a green circle with a P in the center, it means it needs the larger platform of the Platinum Machine.
Fun Stampers Journey doesn't sell the Gemini, but I had to share my good news. Now if you want a great machine that does it all including steel rule dies, you definitely want to look into our FSJ Platinum Machine. TO-0090 Below are all of the steel rule dies we carry.
