Using Up More Parts

These card panels were pretty much made and laying on my table ready to be put together and finished. The patterned paper is from a matstack from Recollections that I had been working with a while back. Then I added some pre-foiled sentiments from my little box of sentiments.

The gold-embossed-on-vellum butterfly on this first one was also in my card parts. The sentiment and the butterfly are popped up on foam squares.

This sentiment is from Gina K. I added three Nuvo drops.

Encouragement Card?

The image for this card was an extra one I had after making my calendar pages. I fussy-cut it out and popped it up on foam squares. It is from My Favorite Things, as is the sentiment. I colored it with my old Stampin' Up! chalks, but then I added a little extra coloring with Prismacolor pencils. The patterned paper is from a matstack from Recollections.

First Christmas Card for 2025

When I was wrapping my calendars earlier this week, I found this center panel in with my tags. I didn't think I would ever use it for a tag so I took it into my stamping room and made this card. I had cut the center out of it, so I silver-embossed the sentiment on a scrap of white cardstock to place behind it, and I added three gems. I popped that panel up and added some Gina K paper for the background. I have my first Christmas card for next year! You can't tell in the photo, but the swirls on the center panel are foil-y and the matting for that piece is shimmery.

OLO Markers - SCT Card Class

I got up really early yesterday and was able to put some things in order in my stamping room, and also put together several cards. How fun! I had pieces left from making calendars and from my card class and just in general. I got all those pieces taken care of. Always a good feeling. We also got some things sorted and tossed from the cedar chest. More to go and also other projects, but we're making progress.

This card is from the card class I took. We were given four colors of OLO markers and an image from Angie Blom. I really like how we blended the purple and the green - who would have thought of that! :-) I fussy-cut the image and popped it up on foam squares. I also fussy-cut the banner and added it on top of the image.

November Calendar Page

Here is my calendar page for the month of November. The image is from Inkadinkado. I embossed it, and the sentiment which is from Gina K, with gold embossing powder and colored with Copic markers.

Well, I'm making progress. Earlier this week, I finished up my calendars, got them put together, packaged up and even wrapped with Christmas paper. Yahoo!! Now to get on with my other tasks. MAYBE I'll even have some time to work on my "class cards." That would be wonderful.

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