Celebrate Cream and Green Hand Stamped background card

 The card base was stamped with a leaf stamp and then if you look closely at the edges there's a straight line with swirls on it. Pretty. It would be nice if I knew who made that and the leaf stamp. The flowers are the cutouts of a border punch from Fiskars. The sentiment is a diecut by Crafter's Companion. Thanks for looking.

I like the layered border punches, one by Martha Stewart and the other by EK Success. The title is a Cricut cut and the word “Sunshine” looks like a stamp. This is an oldie but I need to post these calendars too. I get more every year. Thanks for looking. 

Manly Monday Houndstooth Tags

The tags are upcycled from a bank that my mom swooped up from being trash when the bank went computerized and no longer needed them 

My mom worked at a bank for 35 years. In that time she experienced many changes; a name change, staffing changes, location changes, and a change to become computerized. They no longer needed paper tags or plastic bags for checks or these shaped boxes that held specific papers. She helped those things to be recycled and not just thrown away. My Mom swooped up those tags before they made it into the trash bin and rerouted them to my house.

Anyway, I stamped the tags with a houndstooth stamp by Deep Red stamps. The small round circle at the top is a tag by Basic Grey. The background paper is ancient by Provo Crafts . The brad is from my stash. Thanks for looking.

Butterfly duo cards with a stenciled background

I used a stencil to make the background on the kraft cardstock bases. My friend sent me this beautiful butterfly die cut that was too big for one card so I cut it in half. It turned out pretty. Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Buck die cut with a tag and some upcycling

Simon says Stamp. Birthday 

The background paper is a wood pattern from the The Paper Studio Dendrology paper pad. The tag is by Basic Grey and the brad is from my stash. The birthday sentiment is by Stampin Up. I ripped the edges because they were uneven and it wasn’t worth my time to clean them up. 

So, I had die cut a different buck die cut out of the tag. I thought that the buck would look good in the tag’s patterned paper. Well, it didn’t. 

 I could not let the tag go into the trash/recycle bin so I needed to cover up the mess. I die cut the Spellbinders Label 4 out of a wallpaper sample. I die cut a buck head that was different and smaller than the original and then I adhered them together with Ranger Medium Matte. 

The label die didn’t cover the hole in the tag so I used the previous mistake/flaw to my advantage. I positioned the bottom of  the label die cut into the bottom of the tag which was the antlers of the original buck die cut.

In hindsight, I should have taken a picture of the tag before putting everything together because in 5 years I won’t understand what all of this means. Maybe. Thanks for looking.

2 Different Purple Cross Cards

Purple cross card

For the card above, I used scraps of purple paper to create the background. I couldn’t get them on straight, so I purposely made them crooked. The cross is a stencil with iridescent embossing paste and they are both by Dreamweaver stencils. I had to cut behind the cross in order to feed the ribbon to lay over the cross. Then I attached the ribbon on the front with a glue dot.

For the second card, I stamped the Stampin Up cross stamp and colored it in with Copic Markers. I Outlined the cross with an STA Metallic Pen. The cross is layered on top of Cricut cuts from the cartridge Labels. The corner punch is by Marvy. The flower in the corner is unknown at this time but the leaves die cut is Recollections. Thanks for looking.

The owl is from patterned paper. I used a Spellbinders die to cut him out and then the next size up cut it out of a wallpaper sample.

The brown background paper is dry embossed with a wood pattern embossing folder by Darice. The strips of paper are scraps from my stash. Thank you for stopping by.
