Iris Fold Christmas Tree shaped card

I cut out a bunch of Christmas trees with my Cricut. I used scraps of thin patterned paper to create an iris fold inside the opening. I inked the edges with distress ink. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Floral Friday Yellow Shaped Clearly Besotted flower Cards

The Flower stamp set and matching dies are by Clearly Besotted

The sentiment is a die-cut by AC Moore called the Love Nicole collection

The die-cut base and the small white die-cut are unknown. The yellow is Spellbinders

The patterned paper is by Poppy Stamps. Rick Rack is from my stash

In the card below I used the same flower stamp set

The sentiment is from my stash

The die-cuts are by Sizzix (yellow) and Spellbinders (coral)

The patterned paper...I made my own background by following a "Forgotten Technique" on a YouTuber named Justine. 

The stencils are by The Crafter's Workshop for the large one

The smaller stencil is by Dollar tree. I love that it's a self-adhesive stencil.

These probably weren't the best two stencils to use together with the yellow and red Distress Oxide inks.

The Sisterhood of Crafters is to use a stencil. I used two.

These next couple of pictures show the yellow cards I made with the same floral Clearly Besotted stamp set.

Summer Fun 2006 at the cottage scrapbook Layout

This book is of my nephew is coming together. 

In fact, I just scrapbooked his senior picture. 

I'm about to print prom and graduation day pictures.

This layout makes me happy because I was able to use SO many old products from my stash and you can't tell. 

The swimming stamps-Stampin Up 

The sentiment is by-Colorbok (Summer Fun)

There are no die-cut

Border sticker by the sunglasses stamped image-Mrs. Grossman's

Patterned papers by-Crate Papers (shaped background), Provo Craft (wavy blue),  My Mind's Eye (stripes), Queen and Co (polka dots), Unknown (fish paper to the right)

I love the sunglasses stamp. It's on a tab that comes in these ephemera packets and I never use them.

I should find someone to exchange ephemera packs with. I get sick of the same pieces and therefore only use a small portion of them. Anyway, Blah, Blah, Blah.

Distress markers colored on the back of the rubber stamps allow me to get multiple colors on my stamps.

Any Occasion card with a pear stamped with chalk

There's a new challenge on the Chalk Ah Lot challenge blog. This one is nice and easy; Anything goes with chalk. It will run for 2 weeks. Visit the challenge blog HERE and visit the sponsor Stamp N Plus for their powdered chalks and stamps.

The pear stamp can be found HERE.Then I mounted it onto black cardstock by Recollections. The patterned paper is by Colorbok and the card base is a dollar bin item from Michael's. I die cut a scrap of watercolor paper for the sentiment. The die cut is by Sizzix. The sentiment is by Scrapbook Pros and the brad is by CTMH. The lace is by Prima and the flowers are by Recollections and Creative Memories. I used some epoxy fots on the left side. These are also by Creative Memories.

Shaped card

I made a bunch of sympathy cards for someone to buy recently. This shaped card was one of them. I used my Cuttlebug and Spellbinders die to make the card and then I just dug in my box of die cuts to layer whatever I could find. Stamped sentiment is by Hero Arts and flower stamp by Imaginisce. The ink on the flower is by Colorbox and the clear embossing powder is by Stampendous. Thanks for looking.

I made this card for the following challenges
