A Foxy Little Thank You

This cute little fox was created using a die set from Gina K that I got in January. I made up a few of each of the little critters and, again, never put them on a card. Well, here is one of them - finally. He is popped up on foam squares, of course! The sentiment is from Hero Arts and is die-cut and popped up. Just a simple and cute little thank you.

More Patterned Paper

These three frames were cut from patterned paper and matted with gold foil and stuck into my card parts quite a long time ago. I used Gina K sentiments and ephemera to decorate them up. I stamped a sentiment on the inside of this first one that says, "friendship is about who came and never left your side."

Cute Critter Birthday

I remember stamping, coloring and die-cutting several critters probably back in November or so and then never doing anything with any of them. I don't even remember which company they are from. But, here is one of them on a card. All of the stamped elements are popped up on foam squares. The heart balloon was originally colored in pink, but it looked more like a card for a boy, so I added blue marker over the Diamond Glaze that I had already added to it.

Card -Part Frames

These cards were all made with die-cut frames from my card parts, partnered with patterned paper. The sentiments are all from Gina K.

Simple Birthday

This scrap of patterned paper was left over after I used some to decorate a small jar for my stamping room. I matted it with purple and popped it up on foam squares. The background was embossed with a folder from LDRS and matted with the same purple. The sentiment is from Gina K and die-cut.

Warm Birthday Wishes in Pink

I finally had a few hours to spend in my stamping room, and it was awesome! I am finding, though, that even as I'm working to use up my card parts, I am making more!! Drat! Oh well, it's all fun.

Today my card is made with one of Gina K's newer kits - but probably December or January, so not the latest. The flowers were done with stamps, stencils and dies. They are popped up on foam squares. The sentiment is also from Gina K and is popped up. The background was left over from one of my more recent sessions and was done with an Impressibility. I brushed ink very lightly over the debossed side and matted with black.

I have a few more cards to share, so I'll be back for the next several days.

April Calendar Page

Oops - April Fools!! (On me.) I forgot to schedule this post. At least it's still going up on the First. 

Here is my calendar page for April. I used dies from My Favorite Things for the umbrella, a stencil for the background and my computer for the sentiment. You can't tell in the photo, but the umbrella handle is cut from foil cardstock. Happy April to all.

I just don't seem to be able to find time to spend in my stamping room! Not sure where all the time goes, but ... Hopefully I'll get back to card-making and blog-reading again soon.

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

Warm Birthday Wishes

This ivory panel that I had die-cut many years ago is no longer in my card parts. I stamped the sentiment on to it and then used an Impressibilities plate covered with light pink ink to deboss the design on to it. I added the slightly patterned paper to the bottom of the card front and stamped the rest of the sentiment on it.

Another Butterfly Anniversary

The white die-cut panel for this card was also in my card parts for years and years. I stamped the sentiment (from Gina K) on to it and then embossed it with a Gina K folder. The butterfly is also from Gina K. I stamped it with Versamark in, embossed it, and then hot-foiled it. Then I die-cut it and used a bit of color-blending on it.

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

Anniversary Butterflies

I've had these four (lightly) stamped pieces in my card parts for MANY years. I also had the butterflies all pre-done. So, I just added the stamped sentiment to each one, matted, and stuck the butterflies on with foam squares. Three of the butterflies were cut from metallic cardstock and one was done on vellum with the Glimmer Hot Foil system.
