Quilted Patterned paper gatefold card

I have a simple gatefold card with a belly band. It features green woodgrain washi tape. The die cut is by Scrapbooking Made Simple. The patterned paper is by October Afternoon. The center of the band is a stamp that I stamped with a new to me ink pad that was juicy. It was too juicy. So I used White pigment ink on a cotton ball and tapped around the shape. This gave it a cloudy look, but good look. Idk what kind of card this will be. But it’s okay to have options where I can add a sentiment later.

November calendar layout remembering Jodi

‘

Who was Jodi? My Mom called Jodi my brother’s “lady friend”. Jodi passed away on January 10th, 2018 from an accidental overdose. These pictures are representations of her, her dog Chloe, who passed away in 2022 and the sweatshirt with her son’s business on the back. The sweatshirt finally fits my niece. 

The bone background paper and the strip of patterned paper are and on the right side are unknown. (The Paper Studio-maybe) The yellow borders were from a paper pad by Die Cuts with a View. The butterfly sentiment and wings were made on my Cricut. The little butterfly to the lower right is a Memory Box die cut. RIP stickers and Chloe was stamped. It seemed appropriate to post this on my birthday, I miss her so much. Thanks for looking.

Christmas Ornaments Card

I fussy cut these ornaments from patterned paper by The Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. I then added Stickles to their design. I used my sewing machine to quickly sew the lines in to look like they are hanging down. The Hero Arts sentiment stamps were stamped onto cardstock and cut them out to fit the card’s design.

 Thanks for looking.

Here are some other Christmas cards that have sewing on them. Keep in mind that these are OLD cardso

Parameters

Project- A2

Color: Forest ColorS

Element- Starts with “H”

Random -Postage stamp

The background paper is watercolor paper by Strathmore. The pattern is a sheet of rub ons that I don’t know of any other way to use them. It would be a lot of work and frustration to get a little circle out of the center.

Anyway, I inked the background with green distress ink, sprayed the paper with regular water on it and wiped it off with a paper towel. That made the white stand out in the images. 

The Hero Arts sentiment was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and the layered onto Spellbinders die cut. The little tags were part of a prize and here’s a link to Layle by Mail. 

That’s it for me. Complaining—>I have so many things to do and not enough healthy days to do them. But, I woke up this morning and that’s a win. Thanks for looking.

Floral Friday black and teal

The leaves are the negative pieces from a die cut by Simply Refinded. The flower stamp in the middle of the circle is by Hampton Arts. The stamp is unknown. Thanks for looking.

November Calendar Layout The Last Supper

I started with brown patterned paper by Creative Memories and then added the Making Memories floral paper  on top. The teal paper is unknown. 

The leaves are stickers. The title Grateful by K and Co. is a sticker on top of a Spellbinders die that I inked the inside before taking it out of the die. The flower in the brown square (by K and Co. too) is a sticker layered on top of teal square punch and a bigger brown square punches by Creative Memories.

Thanks for looking.

The background was made with a Cricut. The border punch is by Martha Stewart out of Making Memories and Sunborn patterned paper. The butterfly stamp was from Cloud 9 and I colored it in with Copic markers. Thanks for looking. 

Manly Monday Recycled Vintage Birthday card

The card above is where I started with this card…6 months ago. I final pulled it out and decided it was time to get it out and make it into a card.    

The background “paper” is the back of a die cut package by K and Co. The left side borders are just paper scraps from Die Cuts with a View and Crete Papers. The sentiment stamp is by Stampibilities from hobby lobby. All done, tada. Thanks for looking

November Calendar Layout Good Times

with the Groh Family

I used patterned paper by K and Co, Fancy Pants Designs as well as Die Cuts with a View.

The die cuts are by Spellbinders.

I wish I could tell you exactly where the heart and the Good times stickers came from but those things are downstairs.

Intricate die-cut birthday card in Aqua

The background paper is a Project Life card. The die cut is by Simply Refined from Scrapbooking Made Simple. The cardstock is by Color-Aid. The sentiment stamp is from Michael’s dollar bin many eons ago. That die cut is by Stampendous. There is one more thing that I almost missed. There is a border stamp on cream cardstock at the bottom. It is from the Stampin Up Mosaic stamp set. It’s stamped with Hero Arts ink.

Thanks for looking.
