Flowers and Greetings

These have been partly made and sitting on my table waiting for a rainy day - which was Thursday. Such a fun day that was! At any rate, the patterned papers are all from the same paper stack. I added thin cardstock strips or the foily stickers next to the patterned papers. The flowers are all from a Stampin' Up! set that a friend brought over years ago and I had stamped and die-cut a lot of them. This is the last of them, finally. I either added Star Dust Stickles or Diamond Glaze over the flowers. The butterflies were all in my card parts, as were the sentiments, which are all foiled in some manner. The flowers and sentiments are all popped up.

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

Sympathy Flowers

I happened across these flowers a while back and put the package on my stamping table to be used soon. Today is the day for three of them. There are more! I stamped the leaves using a Papertrey Ink stamp. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts. I matted the panel and added it to my card base. The flowers are from Crafter's Square - maybe from the Dollar Tree?

Flowery Congrats and Anniversary

When I get 50% off at Michael's, I have a tendency to buy another 12 x 12 stack of patterned paper. Then I tear out the sheets, cut up the ones that require cutting, and put everything away to hopefully be used some day! I have SO much! Well, these two cards were made from one of those stacks. I cut around the tops of these two pieces and popped them upon to card fronts. The sentiments are from my card parts and have been foiled with my Glimmer Hot Foil system. They are also popped up on foam squares.

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

Celebrate Your Special Day

Ah, I had most of today to spend in my stamping room - how awesome! Here is one of the cards that I finished up. The die-cut piece was out on my table - cut from a foiled negative piece. The sentiment is silver embossed and is from My Favorite Things. I matted that piece with white and popped it up on foam squares.

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

Hot Foil Christmas Card

Finally, another Christmas card! This card is 6 1/2 inches by 5 inches. I did the image using my Glimmer Hot Foil system. The sentiment is popped up. It's from Gina K and is actually silver - done with Gina's foil. There is a thin red strip below the sentiment which was hot-foiled.

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

Even More Dies and Foil

I pulled out this die, also, last week. It cuts the open dots. I matted with yellow and added the butterfly and the sentiment, which were both done on the Glimmer Hot Foil system and cut out with dies. The butterfly is on vellum. Both are popped up on foam squares.

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

More Hot Foil

These cards were both made with my Glimmer Hot Foil system. The sentiment on this first one is from Gina K. I trimmed down three sides of the image panel. Then I added thin metallic strip stickers around the three edges that I trimmed down.

I wanted some subtle color on this one, so I used my lightest Copic markers.

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

Hot Foil and Dies

All of these cards are similar. I used dies to cut the borders. The flowers are all from Gina K that I had made earlier using stamps, stencils and dies. I used my Glimmer Hot Foil system for the sentiments. (Some of the sentiments are from Gina K - stamped and die-cut.) Then I put the pieces together to make these cards.

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

More Anniversary Wishes

Same patterned paper as yesterday's. Sentiment from Gina K. Embossing with a Darice folder. I donate cards to our church to help out the library. I noticed we were out of anniversary ones, so I have to replenish the supply. 

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

Anniversary Wishes

While I was looking through my supplies for yesterday's embossing folder, I came across this one, so I thought I would use it. It cuts out the center as it embosses the rest. I lightly ink-blended on it. I added patterned paper behind it, with a sentiment from Gina K. The flowers are ancient ones from Michael's that I also ink-blended on. I added enamel dots for the centers.
