Large Flower Thanks

More patterned paper - I simply trimmed down this piece to fit the card, and I matted it. The sentiment is a Stampin' Up! embossing/die. I cut four of them and layered them up. I made two more of these cards but stamped the sentiment on them.

Tri-Square Thinking of You

I watched a Jennifer McGuire video with "spotlighting." I didn't like the way mine was turning out, so I went back to this version - similar to some I've done in the past! The stamp is from Inkadinkado and I colored it with Copic markers and cut it with a Papertrey Ink die. Each square is three thicknesses. I added them to the cardstock that they were cut out of, after trimming it down. The sentiment is from Altenew.

Patterned Paper Thinking of You

Another simple card using up patterned paper. I have SO much!! I simply added a metallic sticker strip across the bottom of it and stamped the sentiment, which is from Altenew. The card base is ivory. I remembered to make three of these - two to give away and one for my stash.

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

Flower Garden Birthday

I used up several of the flowers and leaves from the Stampin' Up! set that were in my card parts. The leaves are glued to the embossed panel and the flowers are mostly mounted on foam squares. The sentiment is a Mrs. Grossman's sticker. The background was embossed with a Gina K folder.

Sending Birthday Wishes

More card parts - these are from Stampin' Up! I added them to card bases that were in my card parts. The flowers are mounted on foam squares.

Sending Smiles

A friend brought over a Stampin' Up! set quite a while ago and I made LOTS of card parts with it. There are flowers and leaves and words. You'll be seeing a lot of them coming up! The background for this one was in my card parts. I'm determined to make a dent in them! I don't even remember how it was created, but it has some sparkle to it. I'm pretty sure it was done with a stencil - possibly from Gina K. The sentiment strip is mounted on foam squares.

More Christmas and More Card Parts

Some more Christmas cards for this year. The card bases had been created and were in my Christmas stamps bin. I simply matted the sentiments and added them to the completed bases. The sentiment on this card is from Gina K. The other sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink. I made a total of six cards similar to these.

Green Christmas

The main image on this card was in my card parts, but not for very long. I made it with my Glimmer Hot Foil machine and plates. I trimmed it down and added it to a 5 x 7 inch card base. I used thin shimmery stickers on each side of the panel. The sentiment is from Gina K and was embossed with green embossing powder, matted with green and mounted on foam squares. I also added just a few red gems.

March Calendar Page

Well, it's March!! So, here is my calendar page. The kite is from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is from Inkadinkado. I did the tiny bit of coloring with Copics and added the white dots with a white Posca pen.

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

Another Valentine?

This stickers have been in my stamping room for a long time. (Ever heard that before?? LOL!) I added them to a white panel and then also added some thin metallic stickers on each side of the panel. I will need to add a sentiment, once I'm sure what it will be used for.

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

Celebrate Today

The flowers, leaves and sentiment were all in my card parts. One flower had been lightly brushed with ink, so I inked up the second one, also. The sentiment was matted on black, as was the patterned purple paper. The sentiment is from Maya Road and is mounted on foam squares.

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

Foiled Christmas

Two more Christmas cards for this year. And nothing from my Card Parts! I used my Glimmer Hot Foil machine for these. The sentiments are stamped with shimmery gold ink using Bo Bunny stamps.

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

Cheery Daisy Thinking of You

The die-cut piece was in my card parts book. I added the dotted yellow paper underneath it. The daisy chain is from Martha Stewart. I scored lines above and below the daisies with my Scor-Pal. The sentiment is from Hero Arts This one is going to a friend who is recovering from a heart attack.

Die-Cut Flowers - Backed

I am SO enjoying using up card parts! I think I may have said that before. LOL! These two die-cut flowers were in my book. I used patterned paper to piece behind the openings. The sentiments on each card are from Gina K. I added sequins to each of them. I trimmed the first one down on the top and added a strip of the pink paper. The second one is just cut down equally on all sides.

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

Hot Foil Sympathy

I used my new Glimmer Hot Foil system for this card. The flowers are the first piece that I had done with it, and I just had them sitting out. I colored them with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I matted with gold foil cardstock. The sentiment is from Spellbinders, too. It's popped on on foam squares.

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

Die Cut Flower - Times Four

These die-cut pieces have also been in my Card Parts book for years. I gave three more of them away to a friend, so they are all done now. The die also cuts the flower out, and on each of these cards, I added that flower on foam squares. Sorry the photos are kind of washed out. The sentiments on each of these cards are from Gina K. I added an enamel dot to each of the flowers, too. I put patterned paper under each one, except the second card, which has delicate glitter paper.

On this last one, I colored the stem, leaves and flower.

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

Patterned Paper Birthday

Well, this card didn't even use any card parts! (But there are more of those coming very soon.) The patterned papers on this card are from a matstack from The Paper Studio. I added thin black strips on each side of the bicycle paper. The sentiment is from Bo Bunny and is matted mounted on foam squares.

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

Birthday Rose

Another Card Parts card for today. Slowly, slowly I'm using up parts! The rose, the leaves, and the white petal-shaped pieces were all from my stash. I had cut the white into squares and then rounded two corners of each piece. I added them to a piece of peach cardstock and added that to a piece of darker peach cardstock. I added the leaves to three of the white pieces and the rose, mounted on foam squares, to the middle. The sentiment is from Gina K and is embossed with gold.

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

Valentines for the Grandkids

Here are the valentines I made for our grandkids. They are all very simple and self-explanatory. I printed the sentiments for each of them on my computer. I used glitter cardstock and dies for all of them. On this first one, I used a Gina K stencil for the background and thin, metallic stickers on the white panel.
