Mr and Mrs

My friend, Cheryl (Paper Panacea) brought over this embossing folder with coordinating die when she came over last week. The colored flowers and leaves are the die-cut. I used some foam dots under the leaves. The sentiment was die-cut and in my parts. It's cut from foil.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Curved Sentiments

My friend, Cheryl, (Paper Panacea) came over to play in my stamping room on Friday and brought over a few things to borrow. One thing I had asked her to bring was the die that cuts this curved border and the stamps to use on it. I cut and stamped several of them, with various greetings. Here are two of them being used. Thanks, Cheryl!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

September Calendar Page

My calendar page for September. Weird that there will only be three more for this year!!

The background was done using a Gina K stencil. The leaves are embossed with gold powder and are also from Gina K. Welcome to September!

Embossed and Stenciled Flowers

Just a super quick card for today. I used an Altenew embossing folder and stencil set for this card front, to show a friend. Decided to just put it on a card base. Then I added a pre-made foiled sentiment from my parts. The sentiment is popped up.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Birthday Wishes

Another card like one from a few days ago. The closed card is four and a quarter inches square. The image panel came from a mat stack and is popped up. I stamped the sentiment (from Gina K) and gold-embossed it. Here is a photo of the opened card. So very simple to make!

Two Miscellaneous Cards

I have gotten to spend a lot of time in my stamping room the last week or so, and it's been great! Still using up old things, though. I haven't even used my Gina K purchases that I bought at her Fourth of July sale!! Soon, I hope.

The flowers on this first card are from Gina K - stamps, stencils and dies. The sentiment is also from Gina K. The big flower and sentiment are popped up. I added a thin strip of purple and also black above the patterned panel.

The die-cut piece on this card was still in my die when I went to put it away. (It was used for my card from Tuesday.) The black frame was in my parts. I let some of the flower pieces hang out of the frame. It was so plain so I added some doodling and lines with a white gel pen. Not terrible happy with this card, but maybe someone will like it.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

More Cards in Pink

More pieces cut from a patterned paper stack. Once again, this flower was not colored in - just a gold outline. But, I colored it with Copic markers. It's matted and popped up. The sentiment is foiled and also popped up. The background panel was from the same pad. I added metallic gold stickers on both sides of it.

Same as the first one - different image and sentiment, also foiled.

And one more. I embossed the background on this one with a Gina K folder.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Die-Cut Background

All three of these cards were done with one of my newer dies. (There were three in the set - here is the second.) I used the same three patterns/solid for all three. I added a "Hugs" sentiment to this first one.

For this one, I added the die-cut flowers. I also used the die on patterned paper and added those pieces into the black outline. I think the sentiment is from Gina K.

Same thing, with a sentiment from my parts.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Fun-Fold Birthday

Here is a card that I made using double-sided paper. The design came from my friend Cheryl's blog, Paper Panacea. One post using it was August 22. There was another earlier, if you wanted to check out more of her blog. I glued down the front flap on my card. I added glittery strips on each side of the front flap. The sentiment was cut out of silver foil cardstock.

Another identical card using a different sentiment - partly the leftovers from the first card. I added thin strips of patterned paper on each side of the center panel.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Assortment of Parts

Using up more pieces from a stack of patterned papers. I believe these are all from the same stack. I used variously-done sentiments from my stash. All but this first sentiment are shiny silver.

I added a Memory Box butterfly to this last card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Love Grows Here

Three nearly identical cards. The only difference is the background - three pieces cut from the same 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper. I embossed the backgrounds with a Gina K folder. The sentiment panels were matted and popped up. Not sure what these cards could be used for, but the panels were in my pieces and I wanted to use them. (Cheryl - you will be getting these for the thrift store. :-) )
