Embossed Flowers

Again, the embossed panel and the sentiment were from my card parts. The folder is from Altenew. I very lightly colored the embossing with blender brushes and I popped up the sentiment (which was done with my Glimmer Hot Foil system).

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

Another simple card. Well, actually ALL of my cards are simple! The embossed piece was from my card parts, as was the sentiment. I very lightly added some color to the embossing with a blending brush. The sentiment had been die-cut using wrapping paper adhered to cardstock before cutting.

Congratulations Butterfly

A super-simple congratulations card. The patterned paper and metallic strip were already on this card front. I added the die-cut metallic butterfly and the "Congratulations" sentiment. The sentiment was already die-cut. I rubbed an ink cube over it to coordinate with the paper.

Birthday in Pink

I had my Butterflies Impressibilities plate out for another card, but this was my practice piece and it turned out so I had to use it, of course. I already had this sentiment from my card parts out on my table and it matched perfectly. I was able to find the same textured cardstock for the matting that I had already used for the sentiment. Yippee. :-) The sentiment is popped up on foam squares. I took out several more card parts and used them, so you'll be seeing a lot of them in the next few days. I still have new things to use, but I seem to be stuck on card parts!

Stenciled Anniversary - Part Two

Here is another anniversary card using a different stencil set from Gina K than yesterday's card. Same thing, though. Stencils, Waffle Flower matting layers, hot-foiled sentiment from my card parts - popped up on foam squares.

Stenciled Anniversary - Part One

I had two new stencil sets from Gina K that I had not used yet, so I was working with them and decided that they should be anniversary cards. Here is the first one. I used Gina K inks for it. I used Waffle Flower dies to cut the image panel and the matting piece. The sentiment is popped up on foam pieces. It was in my card parts. It was done with my Glimmer Hot Foil system.

Guy Card

I was looking through my "stash" of cards for March and April and realized that I had no cards very suitable for men, nor did I have any anniversary cards! So, I had to get busy yesterday afternoon and make a few. Here is the birthday card. I used a die-cut frame from my card parts that I've had out for a while. (I have two more frames that I need to use up, also.) The papers were from a matstack from The Paper Studio. I found a matching ink (from Altenew) and used a Gina K stamp for the sentiment, which is die-cut and popped up on foam squares.

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

Foiled Birthday

Finally - a card! I don't know how life can be SO busy!! I used an Anna Griffin brass stencil for the main image. I used Deco Foil over it and used my Gina K Fuse to foil over it. The sentiment was also done using that technique. I embossed the border around the main image with a Gina K die. The image panel is popped up on foam squares. The card is done with ivory cardstock.

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

More Taylored Expressions Flowers

Here are the last two flowers from Taylored Expressions. Again, the sentiments are from Gina K. For these two cards I used pieces from my card parts - the embossed panel on this first card and the die-cut panel on the second.

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

Taylored Expressions Flowers

I really love these flower and leaves stamps and dies from Taylored Expressions, so I stamped, die-cut and colored several of them. Here are four of the cards I made with them. Two more of them to come tomorrow. The sentiments are all from Gina K. Some are stamped directly on the card and some are die-cut and popped up. I used the thin, metallic stickers between the white panel and the patterned papers.
