Hello Friend

This card was done with another Gina K set that I got from my friend. It includes the stencils, the dies and the stamps. Fun. It makes a very pretty background, but you can also cut out the individual flowers and leaves with the included dies.

Musical Guy Card

This card is for a friend of ours who is very "musical." The background piece and the die-cut pieces were in my card parts book and so it was very easy to put it together. The background was done with a stencil. The sentiment is from Stampabilities.

Guy Birthday ??

The image stamp on this card is from the same set that I used on yesterday's post, from Gina K. The sentiment is from Stampabilities. I thought this would work to send to a guy. Cards for guys are always so hard to make for me.

Birthday for a Friend

We recently visited some friends, and she is a card maker. She had many things that she was giving away, so I went shopping and chose a few things. This Gina K set was one of the items that I selected. The image and sentiments, including the dies, were part of the set. I added the butterfly sticker, which came from the Dollar Tree. The edges of the image panel are thin metallic stickers.

Hedgehog Birthday in Pink

This stamped image has been in my card parts for MANY years! I finally colored it up and cut it out with a Gina K die. I sponged a bit of black around the edges and popped it up on foam squares. The background paper is very ancient Stampin' Up! The sentiment is another Mrs. Grossman's sticker. I only have a few left of those, too.

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

Birthday Leaves

Five more card parts used up. I had one of this first color and four of the second. I had stamped them quite a while ago intending to cut them out, but they were stamped too close together. Oh well, they made pretty pieces this way. I mounted them on foam squares. And now they are gone. The sentiments on them all are Mrs. Grossman's stickers.

It's hard to tell, but I embossed the bottom panel of this card with a Gina K folder.

3-D Folders

Somewhere I read (or saw) a post about doing this. I just made a note, assuming that I would remember what it was about. Of course, my memory isn't that good. LOL! My note only said, "3D emboss, then white ink then gold." So this is what I did, except my gold ink pad was dried up. I used an Altenew 3D folder to emboss the images. Then I rubbed my white ink pad over the embossed images. Then I rubbed my copper ink pad over the white. It is more shiny in person, naturally. For the sentiments, I first stamped them in white and then in copper, also. I thought these would work for sympathy cards.

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

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.
