I have an over abundance of 2” paper from cutting the 6” patterned paper pads to fit my 4x5.5 cards. I decided to use them side by side but the paper didn’t cover the seam in the middle since I made a 4.5x5.5 card base. I stamped a TPC border stamp with blue Hero Arts ink onto grey cardstock. The center seemed plain so I inked a piece of paper with Ranger distress ink Iced Spruce. The sentiment stamp is by Stampibilities.
The pictures look blurry to me. I hope they don’t look that way to you. I got new glasses but can’t find them. Ugh!
A simple birthday card using a few border punches by EK Success, old gingham paper by Paper Patch (I think), distress ink and sentiment stamp by tpc studios.
Thanks for looking.
My cards today came to from my then SIL. You see, I had made them for nephews birthday and they never sent them out. I was hurt and pissed because of the time and resources that went into these cards. She did give them back when she could have thrown them away.
The first card is the original invite, I cut a bunch of them up and created some new cards.
The tag and background paper are upcycled and I also used a Die Cuts With a View sentiment, K and Co border and a Cricut tree cut out of Recollections paper. The tree needed something more so I added Stickles.
I used up some frames by Making Memories. The butterflies by Recollections I stamped with Colorbox ink and die cut out with matching dies. The background-Alcohol inks and stamped with a Tim Holtz stamp.
The second one, border punch by Fiskars and the background is patterned paper.
I had a bunch of tags I wanted to use on cards. Here’s a link to the TAG.
For this tag I paired it up with a vintage cardboard picture frame. Check out how the edges of the tag are tucked inside those slots where the edges of a vintage photo would be.
For the sentiment I took a leftover piece of watercolor paper and stamped it with black ink and a Hero Arts sentiment. I put foam tape behind that sentiment but only in the center.
The background paper is unknown. Thanks for looking.
Butterfly ATC using an old Stampin Up butterfly stamp. I colored the butterfly in with Copic markers. The ribbon is from my MIL’s stash. The background is heat embossed.
One of the kids graduating was into drama and theater and so I made this card. Different from my normal graduation cards but kind of fun to be able to do something like this because it was made for them.
The movie clapper stamp is by Deep Red stamps and I did 1st and 2nd generation stamping with black ink. I found the drama faces on a Cricut cartridge. I put some graduation hats on top of their heads.
I’m getting back into crafts slowly since I had surgery. This is one I made for my nephew. The sentiment and large
Are by Deep Red stamps Heavy Gear
The striped paper is a Project Life card.
