June Calendar layout Happy Camper

This layout is from the June cottage calendar 2022. The die cut in the lower right corner is the negative of a frame die cut. It and the Happy Camper die cuts were cut out using my Cricut. I did ink them with distress ink. It gives it a grungy feel. 

The vellum sentiment in the lower right corner is by Creative Memories. The washi tape on the bottom is by Stampin Up and the washi tape by Paul’s head is by We R Memory Keepers.

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Manly Monday Ride your Pony cards

I made this card using the inside of a return envelope. The pattern reminds me of a Topographic map 

Anyway, I put distress ink everywhere I thought would be water, land or vegetation. 

The horse stamps are by Inkadinkado. The washi tape that’s creating an arrow is by We R Memory Keepers.

This single horse is from the same stamp set. The frame die cut curtesy of my Cricut. The reflective paper is unknown. I used blue Ranger Distress Crayon on the top and bottom of the card 

Same card as before but I screwed up and the Fleur-de-lis downward on tan so I fixed it only to see that the blue ones are wrong in the finished card. Ugh!

Thanks for looking.

Silver and Muted Red Christmas Card

  My Christmas card has a few layers. The layer closest to the card base is a pearlescent red by Coordinations. The gray with red stripes is the backside of a journaling card by Teresa Collins. The red die cut with a silver marker outline was made with my Cricut and silver metallic pen. The white die cut is by Spellbinders. The “Joy” card is from a We R Members Keepers 6x6 paper pad. Thanks for looking.

Cricut font- Boys will be boys. I inked them with distress ink. Brads- Around the Block and We R Memory Keepers. Cricut for the pennants.

Floral Friday Wild Patterned Paper Thank You Card

The ugly patterned paper is by Accord Publishing. If you look below closely you can see the second die under the sentiment is patterned paper is by We R Memory Keepers. The top layer of the sentiment is an old wallpaper sample. I thought the rustic look went with the flowers. Idk about the Thank you die cut. The strips of paper in the center, underneath the sentiment, I found them on the floor. I liked the way it brought your eyes to the sentiment and made the sentiment placed and not just floating. Those dies are by Spellbinders. Thanks for looking.

September Calendar Layout Surprise party pictures

Guessing game on this calendar layout. It was for a 2019 calendar.
The stamps on the previous ATC in the center are by Lawn Fawn ABCs and I'm not sure about the grass.

The stickers are by Creative Memories (Apples) and EK Success (Acorn)

The die-cut border punch is by Martha Stewart

The background patterned paper is by We R Memory Keepers (That's a guess)

It's been a while since I did this layout. So I'm not exactly sure but I think these leaves were on a cake and my husband took the back off of them for me to use. I think the leaves started out like the one on the left and ended up like the picture below.

I think I tried to heat emboss and ended up with glossy accents over the top.

Manly Monday Christmas card

 

My card is a masculine Christmas card for the challenge at 

The Male Room.

The sentiment tag and the middle border sticker is from We R Memory Keepers.

There’s a brad at the top of the tag and the bow is green jute by Tim Holtz.

This card screams guy card. Brad. A bow (tie). And a dude named Tim Holtz 

The patterned paper is by Bazzill.

1963 All Green Pocket Pages Scrapbooking

I was typing up this blog post and it occurred to me that there is no date on this layout.

That won’t be a problem with all of the open space. Maybe I subconsciously left those areas blank.

The metal circles are by Stampin Up. Inside them are stickers by...darn it, I don’t remember. I threw the package away within the last week. I flip through my organizers daily. The organizers are separated by theme and they are the home to many sticker packs that I have been looking at for years. Now, do you think I can remember the brand? I will do a timed search to find them online. Timed search you ask? I set the timer on my phone and by the time that alarm goes off, I’m finished looking.

The patterned paper is by Recollections and old stuff by Provo Craft 

On the center 4x6, I used these transparent die-cuts. The flower one is by Maya Road and the smaller flower is by American Crafts. I set an eyelet in the center. The bouquet on the right is from Jolee’s a company of EK Success.

This page is a 4x4 pockets equaling 9 squares. I had the one larger photo that even if I cut it down it wouldn’t fit. I boldly cut the pocket open with an Exacto knife to fit the photo in with all the other relevant pictures. I love the results and that it is hard to see the the alteration unless your looking.

I received the glasses patterned paper in a ATC swap, bottom right. Isn’t it the cutest and perfect for the time frame. Haha, pun intended. The Christmas paper, bottom left is by Martha Stewart.

All of the alphabet stamps are from Lawn Fawn.

Blue Mosaic Stamp and Punch Birthday cards

I used stamps by Stampin Up with Ranger blue ink

The sentiment is by Just Right Stamps and Hero Arts

The die-cuts are by Matching punch for the stamp set and the pointy circle in the center of the second card is by Sizzix

The patterned paper is by I dry embossed the 1st card with the matching embossing folder and lightly went over it with a Distress Oxide ink pad. 

The second card background is a shiny cardstock by Recollections

The jewels are by Hero Arts and the ribbon in the second card is from my stash.

I had to use a padded envelope on the first card because of those jewels.

I make my own envelopes with the We R Memory Keepers envelope maker and put a piece of bubble wrap inside. The front of the card would go against the bubble wrap. I put a stamp on it that is for square envelopes or the mail that is not to go through the machine at the post office because it is more than 1/4" in dimension.

Here are some other cards using the same stamp.

Feb 2019

Sept 2018

Oct 2017

May 2017

March 2017 same look as the one above

Jan 2017 another pretty blue

Sept 2016

Jan 2017 using the punch in a banner of a Christmas card

^^^This one 

is a cool example of how to use the punch for something other than the matching stamp.

I really enjoy searching for these former cards using the same stamp set or punch.

The fact that there are three posts using the same color blue in the stamp leads me to believe that I stamped them before January of 2017 and made the one card and set the other ones aside. 

I'm trying to decrease the amount of half-done projects and/or use the images that have and just need to go on cards.

Green and Blue Thank you Cards

The center of this card is made of scrap cardstock and ribbon by May Arts and Offray

The sentiment die-cut is by Clearly Besotted
