Martha


Hi bloggers!  We are starting out day two with the nest of the Endless Options collection: the Martha Background.  The Martha Background has a very lacy like detail on the edges and centre that is a real show stopper for your cards and projects! 
I just love the way this die carries the entire card on it's own or you can add in the matching edgers for even more excitement too!  If this one tickles your fancy, just leave a comment on this post.  I have also added the Pinterest button to the bottom of each post so feel free to Pin the sample cards or even the die packaging to save for later inspiration.  The next post is on it's way to you at 12 noon.  I hope to see you back here then.  All for now. Sue x

  1. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, now who doesn't like a Lacey look, I love this new Martha die set, how pretty it looks on that colourful background, the mind boggles with the different ways this can be used.

    Hope all is well with you and your family Sue.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxxx

  2. Morning Sue. Day 2 and a memory in the name Martha. My best friend at school. So many heart warming stories from senior school to our adult years but too 'boring' and unnecessary to share here.
    Your sample today is as pretty and as beautiful as my friend, thanks Sue. I'm clock watching ready for your next post. Thank you for encouraging us to CRAFT ON 💖

    Stay safe everyone xx

  98. Ah it looks beautiful against those colours, I must confess I save all your photos and keep them in special folders - one for Christmas and one for everyday - so I can look at them for inspiration and ideas. I have FINALLY worked out how to use the pixie powders (was using far too much water!) so now need to think about the Ranger sparkle card and alcohol inks as those backgrounds are simply stunning.
    Thanks Sue, I’d be lost without you! #ILoveParticraft
