Hello Stamplings!
It's lovely to be here and I hope you're doing great! I hope the team you (or your mate) were rooting for won the Super Bowl.🏈 I'm surprised they haven't made the Monday after a national day off!
Our plans changed last week due to the rain, so I had some unexpected crafty playtime with the lads. Squee for all!
Onefer
This week's I.D.E.A.S. letter is D = Dies and my first NBUS feature is the smallest feather stamp and die in the Feather Finery set by Papertrey Ink. The NBUS sediment is from the same set. I would have preferred "pickled tink," but we'll just pretend it says that.
The second NBUS feature product is the Pink Fresh "Dotted Chevron" cover plate. Stanley honed his blending skills with CP ink and we used colored paper👍for the card base. Playing in:

Looking for the Onefer cover plate, I ran across this framed heart die from Reverse Confetti. Just last week when Hammy and Stanley were looking for a specific pp, they came across my stash of fun foam and asked if we could use it soon ... 💡click!
I had forgotten all about fun foam and it cut like a dream with this die. I attached it to a hammered card panel and then added some funky flat bling from GKW. I used a simple 'Hi' sediment so I can use it for any number of occasions. Playing in:

Obfuscation
You know how I love words and playing with words. I think it's fun except when companies do it in an effort to make something deliberately unclear, pull the wool over my eyes, or pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
An email from a well-known company just arrived, saying they are going to "update" our pricing soon. Update? How about they just say they are going to "increase" our pricing soon (again) and leave it at that? I resent being treated like I'm too ignorant to see through it.
But that's the way of the world now.
So when you have your next annual physical and the doctor comments on what's been happening with your weight, just smile innocently and say, "That's not an increase, doctor. That's an update!"
Oh, and another thing. For those of us of a certain age who are shrinking vertically, why doesn't the doctor ever factor THAT into the math when he mentions our weight? I'm a little over 5'3" now, but I was once three inches taller. If my current weight were on a frame 5'6" tall, the doctor would be telling me to eat more!!🍔

Your cards look wonderful, Darnell. So happy you had some bonus time to play!
Both cards are simply beautiful, Darnell xoxo
Love the pun there with the feathers. You can use that for several occasions also. The hearts are pretty too. I have some foam somewhere I think. I tell my doctor I am vertically challenged.
Great cards !!!!
Love those hearts !!!!
Both cards are so pretty. I love them both but I am drawn to the the “tickled pink” one. Pink is my favorite color.
Glad you got some crafty time, your tickled pink card is stoning with the lovely inking and the feathers! I never thought to die cut fun foam for on a card, beautiful and great idea, thanks!
Hi Darnell! Fabulous cards today! Just love your remarks
on the clarity of words and statements! xoxoxo
Pickled tink it is from now on !!!! Two fantastic cards Darnell love the soft subtle pink on the base on the first work wonderfully with the feathers. The second is positively fabulous . Fun foam you say looks amazing so smooth and vibrant. Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic card with us at Colorful Options.

Darnell, that heart cover plate is the best!!! What a cool "hammered" card panel...where does one get that?!!!! I forget about the foam too and need to use it more often. Your posts are so fun to read. Love the card you entered and thanks for playing at Just Us Girls!
Two darling fun foam cards, Darnell - love the feathers on card one and that heart background stole my heart - ha, ha. I know what you mean about shrinkage, although I'd have to be about 8 ft tall to be ok for my weight - yikes!
Love your feathers card in pink. Wonder where my fun foam is...
Great cards, love that coverplate chevron die. Might have to look that one up. Great use of fun foam on your second card too. I used to use it a lot, but not so much now. Funny how we change xx
Ha! There have been a lot of price "updates" this year already. Aside from the everyday commodities, we've had significant mobile phone, internet, and auto insurance updates to name a few. If only our retiree income would update to match, sheesh. Well, anyway... I'm in my happy place at the moment and enjoying your cards. The first is all pretty in tickly pink. I like how you've done just the bit of shading at the top. I can't help but love those puffy hearts on your second card. That's a super cute and simple die. It's a kick to come across things while digging in your stash!
I have a pile of foam but nothing as pretty as your bright red, Darnell. So glad the guys suggested it. Your feathers and chevrons work together to make a wonderful card. So sorry your plans changed but glad it gave you time to get into the playhouse.
Your fun foam hearts are just that... FUN! The feathers are pretty nifty too. Thanks for playing along with us at Just Us girls, Darnell!
A couple great designs, Darnell! Love the tickled pink feathers. Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week.
