Simple Thank You

The stencil that I used to ink up the background for this card is from Picket Fence. I got it for 60% off. :-) I had it matted and added to a card front for a few weeks and it was finally its turn to get made into a card. I simply added the "thank you" sentiment that I had recently dug out. I may have never used it before. It's from Heidi Swapp.

I get my stitches out this morning at 10:00 CST. I can't wait! I'm pretty sure I will need some PT on my hand, though. I can't bend one of my fingers and I can't totally straighten out another. It'll all be good, though.

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

Accumulating Card Parts

I am constantly setting things aside as I come across them. I was looking at an 8 1/2 by 11 inch matstack and pulled out some papers to put on card fronts. Here they are - ready for the (simple) finishing touches.

The first one here was done with a new stencil (for me) from Picket Fence. The second here was done with strips from the tops of patterned paper pages.

And these are some items that I stamped with stamps that I happened across and also left-overs from my calendar pages. Hopefully they will make it onto cards soon.

Just a little update. Today is my fingers surgeries. Thanks for the good wishes. Also, my calendars for 2025 are all finished. Yahoo! Now, as I get together with friends, I can deliver their calendars!

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

SCT Class - Picket Fence

Here are the SCT Class cards from Picket Fence. The images (girl, background studio pieces and easel) were preprinted and die-cut. We were also provided with a stamp set (with the dies), a stencil and some special paste. We used the stencil for the backgrounds on all of the cards. For this first one, we put the ink on the stencil, misted the stencil and then placed the white panel on top of it.

This one had the yellow paste through the stencil and then yellow ink blended over that.

This one had ink blended on the panel, two coats of clear embossing powder over the entire surface and then some paste added over that.
