Cheery Daisy Thank You

I came across this mini stamp set from Altenew and just had to use it. I didn't think I had ever used it in the past, but then I could tell that it had some slight black ink staining, so I guess that I had. At any rate, here is ... again, I guess. I colored it quite simply with Copic markers. I doodled around the edges and matted it with black. I added three black nail head stickers to the image panel and another three to the card base. I added some patterned paper to the bottom of the card base and then a very thin strip of black above that. The image panel is mounted on foam squares. I always think daisies, yellow and black make such a cheery card.

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

Stair-Step Daffodils

I keep thinking I need to do a special fold card of some sort, so here is one. Not terribly "special" but different from standard. Here is a stair-step card - or one variation of it. I cut several of them a few years ago to give to friends, but I still had one blank one left. I covered the entire front with the black and white patterned paper. The image is the last one that I had of this kind.

The sentiment is from a stamp and die set from Gina K. The die-cut that it is mounted on is also from Gina K.

Patterned Paper Cards

This flower image has been in my card parts for years. I still have one more of them to use. I colored it to match some other patterned paper, but after it was colored I decided that it really didn't match! So, I went with some black and white patterned paper instead. I cut that paper in half, so of course I had to use the other piece, too. The sentiments on both cards were done with Gina K stamps and dies and popped up. 

The bicycle paper is from the same matstack as the black and white piece. I added "nail head" stickers to both cards. I see they are a little crooked on this second card, but I have since straightened them out.

February Calendar Page

Well, here we are - February already! Here is my calendar page for the month. The embossing folder, stamps and paper are all from Recollections.

More Card Part Flowers

These flowers and leaves were in my card parts book, also. I think the flowers are probably from Altenew. The leaves are die-cut from green cardstock. I think the dies are from Gina K. The sentiment on this first one is from Gina K. The sentiment on the second card is a die-cut from my parts. I had rubbed copper ink over it. Each of these cards has a thin metallic sticker along the side of the patterned paper.

Card-Part Flowers

All of these flowers and leaves were in my card parts book, but they are all gone now. I believe they may be from Altenew, but I'm really not sure. The sentiments are all from Gina K. The sentiment on this first one is stamped directly on the card front. The others are stamped, die-cut and popped up on foam squares. On each one, the front flower (or only flower) is also popped up on foam squares. I used a thin metallic sticker along the sides of the patterned paper.

More Birthday Flowers

Still working on my Card Parts, but I'm actually making progress. :-) This stamped image was in the book. I colored it with Copic markers and added the Gina K Sentiment. I cut that panel and the black matting panel with Waffle Flower rectangle dies. Done!

A Little Dabble In Zentangle

I did a little Zentangle just for fun, and of course I couldn't toss it! So, it's on this card. The three panels started out as one, but I cut them apart, mounted them on white cardstock and then on to black. I popped up the panel on foam squares. I doodled around the outside of it, also. The sentiment is from Gina K.

Edited to add: I drew everything from scratch for this Zentangle.

Two More Valentines

Once again, for some reason Michael's sent me a $5 voucher. It's really the only time that I shop there - to use the voucher! I bought a small pad of valentine paper and some valentine stickers and it cost me a total of $1.01. Can't beat that! The patterned paper and the glitter paper were in the pad of papers. The die cut frame was in my card parts and the cat was left over from the grandkids' valentines. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a die. I popped the cat and the sentiment up on foam squares. I made two of these cards.

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

More Card Parts

I had two of these die cut pieces in my card parts book and I used them both up on these three cards. For this first one, I used the "negative parts" and mounted them on black, using the "positive" piece for placement. Then I trimmed down the black piece and added it to a white card base. I added the die-cut butterfly and the sentiment - from Gina K.

For this card, I used both the positive and the negative parts. I colored the inserts with Copic markers before adding them back in. The flower and sentiment are from Gina K and are stamped, die-cut and popped up. I also added three "nail head" stickers.

For this third card, I just used the positive over some patterned paper and then the center piece, which I added in a different orientation. The image and sentiment are popped up. They were also in my card parts. I don't remember where they are from, but they may be Gina K.
