Blessings on Your Special Day

More background pieces used up. Getting close to using them all up! I matted these pieces. The flowers are from Altenew. The sentiment is from Gina K. The left flower on this first card and the flower on the second card have been popped up on foam squares. The sentiment on the first card was on foam squares, also. I ripped the edges of it and sponged ink on them.

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

More Tiny, Die-Cut Flowers

Finally, here is the other die-cut that I made about a month ago! I colored the flowers on this one and added it to a panel that was embossed with a Darice folder and matted. The sentiment is from a Gina K set.

March Calendar Page

Here is my March calendar page. March always stumps me! I found this digital image and colored it with Copics and sponged around the edge.

My blank calendar files are under my blog header, if anyone is interested in using them. If you try use them and have problems, feel free to email me.

Thank You Flowers

Finally - another card! Life is just too busy, but it's all good! I guess I didn't get the embossing very deep on the bottom of the white panel because it doesn't show very well. But, it's there! I got a new die at the Dollar Tree, so of course I had to try it out right away. I did it once with white on the top of the panel, and once in ivory, but just the thin strip. I colored the ivory one, and you'll see it some day. I scored the lines with my Scor-Buddy. The sentiment is from Avery Elle.

Happy Valentine's Day!



Happy Valentine's Day, Friends!! I hope you all have someone special to share your day with. Here is a valentine I made for a friend. I used a die for the line of hearts across the bottom and also the main focal point. I used glitter paper for that and also under the row of hearts. I stamped the sentiment, from a Recollections set, and then embossed with a Darice folder. I added "nail heads" to the circles on the die-cut. The whole main panel is mounted on foam squares.

Birthday Roses

The background on this one was done by cleaning off my brayer. I had shown a friend how to brayer on an embossing folder, so I used the excess ink. The doily die-cut was from my card parts. The leaves are from Gina K. I have so many layered rose stamps that I'm not even sure where these are from. I have a new-to-me Altenew set, and they could be from there. The sentiment is a rub-on, also from my card parts.

And Even More Card Parts

These two die-cut backgrounds were in my card parts.  I own the dies and I believe they are from Memory Box. I mounted this first one on foam squares. The flower pieces and sentiment were done a couple years ago using a borrowed Stampin' Up! set.

The sentiment on this one is from Altenew. The leaves are from Gina K - from an ephemera package.

Using Up More Card Parts

I keep trying to use up more and more card parts. These backgrounds I have had for many, many years. I'm sure they were made with alcohol and Stampin' Up! inks. For this first one, I added a die-cut wreath. It had been cut out of purple cardstock. I colored the leaves green and added enamel dots to the flower centers. The sentiments were also in my card parts - stamped and die-cut using a  Stampin' Up set. The "Sending" is mounted on foam squares.

The die-cut "doily" is from my card parts, as are the flowers and leaves. The sentiment is from an Altenew set. I used foam squares under the sentiment, the roses and the outer-most leaves.

Anniversary in Pink

And a couple anniversary cards in pink. I matted the die-cut heart with pink glitter cardstock and mounted it on foam squares. The sentiment is from Avery Elle. I also added a thin strip of the glitter cardstock beneath the patterened paper.

The roses and leaves on this card are done with an Altenew set. The sentiment is embossed with silver and I used a thin strip of silver metallic beneath the patterned paper.
