Accumulating Card Parts


I am constantly setting things aside as I come across them. I was looking at an 8 1/2 by 11 inch matstack and pulled out some papers to put on card fronts. Here they are - ready for the (simple) finishing touches.


The first one here was done with a new stencil (for me) from Picket Fence. The second here was done with strips from the tops of patterned paper pages.


And these are some items that I stamped with stamps that I happened across and also left-overs from my calendar pages. Hopefully they will make it onto cards soon.

Just a little update. Today is my fingers surgeries. Thanks for the good wishes. Also, my calendars for 2025 are all finished. Yahoo! Now, as I get together with friends, I can deliver their calendars!

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

When I set things aside it takes a very long time for me to run across them again! I wish you the best on your surgery and hope you have a speedy recovery!

I love to just play like this, organizing and whatnot. It's especially fun to simply make card foundations like this, or put together basic sketches for later use. I have a bunch made up and waiting their turn. I even have some ephemera parts made up and set aside. Right now everything seems in such a rush, but I can't wait to just slow down and play. You have some pretty starts! I love your idea for using the top strips. How inspiring!
