Hello Everyone...wow!! What a lovely day here in the middle of Winter...frosty start but beautiful sunshine followed and had a play in the garden after work..excellent.
But now it is cooling down late afternoon and off to work again shortly to say nite nite to' My Ladies'...
Have a card to share with you using this cute little digi from STAMPFAIRY ..
This is MOLLY BEACH 1 ....
Coloured Molly using Faber Castell pencils and paper pieced her bathing suit..
The waves.. I used my new punch 'Fiskars Wave Border"..and the starfish out of my daughters bathroom..[she has plenty, and would not miss one]..okay,I took two..shhhh
Papers are MME 'A Mothers Love"...
The sand was a torn strip of Kraft..
Shell die, from Marianne Creatables and so is the lighthouse...cut it out with white card and placed a lovely blue cardstock behind...saved colouring.
Added a sentiment ticket and clothes peg, all done.
NOW....the Spellbinders "Cattails..would be the worst die I have ever tried to cut with...have you ever a die like that??...it just wont cut clean and took me ages to get one that was reasonably okay, but had to finish it off with a craft knife..sooo disappointed with it and have a flower one the same..useless..
Never mind...finished belly aching now..lol..have lots of other good ones so will stop moaning..
Going to enter this card at these challenges...

Hi Chrissy this is fabulous! What a great summer scene loving your new stash! I have some of these dies and they are a pain in the buttinski!! Apart from running through umpteen dozen times with extra shims I also found if you have a metal cutting plate that helps or add some waxed paper between the die and cardstock - good luck! Susan xx
Gorgeous card Chrissy. The image looks fab and I love her swimsuit.

Gorgeous card Chrissy, such a cute image. I love the scene you have created with fabulous detailing, especially the starfish

Chrissy have you used a Metal Adapteor for cutting any die. I found it a brilliant for cutting most things, especially intricate Spellbinder dies.
Your card is adorable, lovely colouring and such fabulous details - and I do love those Cattails!!!
hugs

Adorable and fantastic scene you created for the sweet image! I have the same punch and the same problem you have with yours, just not worth using!

Very summery little scene and Molly is just adorable!
Adding wax baking paper between the die and paper always works for my, and I am not a lover of spellbinders at all, but it does work.
Love the card and starfish looks fab, cute image as always and paper pieced to perfection.
luv aNNIe xx

What a GORgeous little scene Chrissy..LOve your paper piecing too.

Chrissyss
Gorgeous card Chrissy :-) the image is very cute and the whole beach scene is FAB :-)
OOH what a faff re your dies !! I don't have a metal adaptor, but have heard they are good, I tend to use card shims and baking paper, and that does tend to be OK on all of my intricate dies . Hope you manage to find a solution xx
thanks for joining us on the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge :-)

This is such a cute "by the seaside" themed card! So many great details, with the sea shells, star fish, lighthouse and punched waves! As for your troublesome die - have you tried using it with several layers of papers at the same time? In my experience that can help a little with those tricky ones...
I'm back lol..
Just thought I'd leave it till today to see how people were helping you with your dies...
I have a MB die called Frostyville Border and I've never been able to use it! Someone told me to get a Tumble Dry Sheet and rub in all over the die? Well, a box of Sheets cost me a £1.00 for 45, and I thought if it doesn't work then my washing would smell nice..so a no loose situation lol..It's worked
so no change to my washing..Don't know how it does it with it been dry lol..but, it does..
