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.

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.

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.

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

Multiple Flowers

I had these four flowers in my card parts book, so I got them used up. They are from Stampin' Up! The stenciled background on this card was also in my parts. The flower is mounted on foam squares. I got a Glimmer Hot Foil machine for Christmas and this sentiment was made with it using Spellbinders foil and plates. It is also mounted on foam squares. The gold strip on the bottom of the stenciled panel was also done with the hot foil machine.

The embossed background for this card was in my card parts. I added the flower and then I stamped the sentiment - from Gina K.

The stamped background for this card was in my parts. (Thanks, Vicki!) I added the sentiment, which is from Gina K.

The die-cut panel was also in my card parts. I added the flower, the thin yellow patterend paper strip on the right, and the sentiment - from Gina K.

Unforgettable Birthday

In my card parts, I have a few of these elephants, balloons and sentiments from WPlus9. One set down! The pieces were stamps and die-cut. I colored the balloon and elephant with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. They are mounted on foam squares. The sentiment is matted and added to the panel.

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

Always There When I Need You

The embossed background and the two-piece umbrella were in my card parts book. Sorry the picture is not very good, but the background has embossed clouds on it I thought the two pieces went together well. I matted the background. Then I found the sentiment in a Gina K set and embossed it with silver to match the umbrella. I matted the sentiment with silver glittery cardstock.

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

Floral Birthday

I stamped this image several years ago at one of our Group Gatherings in Des Moines. I have others to use, also, but at least I got one of them used! I colored with Primsacolor pencils and Gamsol. I added Star Dust Stickles to the flower centers. The sentiment is from Bo Bunny and is matted and mounted on foam squares.

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

A Note of Thanks

All six pieces of this card came from my book of card parts - the flowers, the green die-cut piece, the stamped background and the stamped sentiment. I believe the flowers were cut with My Favorite Things dies from paper that had been sprinkled with some dry powder ink. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!

thanks for everything

A simple thank you. These die cuts were in my parts, and I honestly can't remember if they are old, or quite new. If they are quite new, they are from Gina K. I added them to a white panel and gold-embossed the sentiment, from Maya Road. I added foam tape to the panel for more dimension.

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

Grateful

I continue working on my card parts. And will continue for a while yet! It's fun to make progress. The background for this card was from my card parts, as was the sentiment. I made the background with a stencil and Gina K inks. I'm pretty sure the sentiment is also from Gina K. I also added a thin turquoise metallic sticker strip at the bottom of the stenciling.

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

Thank You

One more card parts card. The red circle, the white flowery die-cut piece and the sentiment were all in my book of parts. I combined the circle and the flowers, and I colored the open areas on the sentiment, which I THINK is from Inkadinkado - wood-mounted.

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

Three More Card Part Cards

Three more of the backgrounds that I received from someone many years ago. I added die-cuts from my parts, also. This sentiment had been printed on my printer and I colored the white text with a marker to match the background.

This sentiment was also printed on my printer, and I foiled it with a laminator.

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

February Calendar Page

Here is my calendar page for this month. I paper-pieced the hearts from the PSX stamp. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. The patterned paper is from Recollections.
