Hello with Green Embossing Paste card

I have been hoarding these backgrounds.
Why? Two reasons: there's a lot of work that goes into using embossing paste with stencils. The other reason is that the background has flaws.
The sentiment stamp is from an eBay purchase. The fabric tag die-cut in the center is by Making Memories. The background was made using a stencil with translucent embossing paste with green FX powder added to the mix. All three of these things are by Dreamweaver Stencils. The corners are precut Creative Memories cardstock from a very long time ago.

 You can see here the worst part, where I went under the stencil. There are other places too, but I wasn’t going to trash it. It has the touch factor. What’s that, you ask? It’s when the person touches the card because it looks interesting.

Celebrate Card with strips of all colors and upcycled tag

The birthday card today uses some old products from my stash.

The sentiment stamp is by Hampton Arts. It is stamped onto Creative Memories patterned paper. It then went over the back of a die-cut (see the last picture)

The flower die cut is by K and Co. The brad in the center is probably by Making Memories. Check it out >>I’m using my old products.

The white and purple patterned paper is by K and Co. The background paper is by SEI.

This next picture is the back of the sentiment die-cut. It still had sparkle on the front but where would I use this die-cut? I’m not in front of my house selling lemonade nor are any of the little kids that I know.

Therefore, I used it for something else. Flip it over and there you have a sparkly die-cut for the sentiment. This tag is by Little Yellow Bicycle.

Manly Monday Golf Tees and Visor Cards

I found this fun corrugated kraft cardstock that seemed perfect for the golf-themed card. I have to tell you my idea for this first card. I wanted to put F-O-R on in the golf balls and then the letter E on the tee without a ball on it. But hubby said nah.  

Golf ball and tees stamp by Stampin Up. Colored in with distress inks. Cut out die from eBay and inked the inside with distress ink. 

The grass sticker border is from K and Co. The card base is corrugated Kraft cardstock 

The hat is from Cricut

Floral Friday with a Lawn Fawn Flowerbox card in Purple

This is my window's flower box made with Lawn Fawn flowers. I fussy cut the flowers and added some glittery accents to the center. The patterned paper is by Cosmo Cricket 6x6 Joy Ride paper pack. Although the card has evolved in ways that I didn't think would look good, I'm happy with the finished card.

Lawn Fawn Hedge Hog Love Anniversary card

Hello. I have a cute little anniversary card using the Lawn Fawn Hedgehogs stamps and matching dies.
There's nothing very fancy about this card except that it's not a design I would normally do.
One nice thing about this card is I used products from my stash. I used a love sticker, an old stencil, and I used a remnant/scrap from a handmade background. I show a picture of the supplies at the bottom. 

I used the stencil with some different colored distress ink. Then I sprayed the background with my favorite gold sparkle spritz, which they no longer make. Of course.

I was originally going to use the tree image but changed my mind. I wasn't able to make it work with the other products. I'll save it for later.

Owls Ask, "You're How Old?" Cards

I cut the ovals with the Creative Memories cutting system 

The owl was downloaded over 10 years ago. The pp is by Studio G

The sentiment was created in Word and the other is a stamp by Stamping Scrapping. The ribbon down the center is hard to make out.
I inked the oval with distress ink.

This next card is an owl from a package of school scrapbook ephemera. I typed up the sentiment in Word then used a Sizzix die-cut to cut it out. While the paper was still in the die I inked the inside with distress ink.
The tree branch is a Hero Arts stamp that I colored with colored pencils. The blue background is distress ink.

Online Card Class Inlay Die Cutting technique -Christmas Quilt square cards

The Online Card class Day 2 Inlay Die Cutting technique. I've wanted to use this large die for a while and this was the perfect opportunity.

This is the card I made with the bottom right square.

The sentiment is a stencil with embossed paste. And then the border is by Creative Memories.

I had some scraps of the tree paper that I put on card bases to get them out of the way.

As I was going outside to take pictures and I thought, maybe these backgrounds would work with the quilt square.

They did look nice.

But now to choose. Or go into the stacks and tote of Christmas paper and maybe find the same paper. I can't help but think of the mess I would make. I'm going to hold off for now.

I had this square already cut out. The patterned paper is Houndstooth. I filled in the rest with scraps. Then I found these adhesive squares to place around the outside squares. They are by Recollections. 

This is the card I made with the brown square.

Online Card Class Day 1 Embossing Christmas card with rhinestones Card

I do not have 3D embossing folders. This folder is new so I used it. Another thing from the class that I used as inspiration is adding rhinestones to the center of the flowers and on the patterned paper by Provo Craft. is I haven't been put sequins of rhinestones on cards.

The rubber stamp says @Magenta made in Canada.

Christmas stuff out and I created these two cards too. That's what's taking me so long to get through the classes is the other products that I am discovering while making the card for the class.

Below, patterned paper by Carta Bella, and the center strip is a manufacturer strip. The center is a gift tag.

Strips of patterned paper are by Craft Smith (Top and Bottom) and Anna Griffin in the center.

Tree stamp by MyStamp Box was heat embossed with green powder.

Online Card Class-Tearing Technique for my Christmas Tree Card

This is an Online card class my Day 1, yes Day 1 Tearing technique card.

The example was a heart but I couldn't wrap my head around tearing a heart. Besides, I'm using this class to kick-start my Christmas cards. 

I do love the way this turned out. The presents are a Cricut cut that I've wanted to use for over 2 years. The only "good" thing about 2020 is how it gives me a time reference. It didn't happen last year which makes you think of 2019 in a whole different way, "Was it 2019?". So I digress.

My card uses a specialty cardstock by Provo Craft, circa 2003. Under the sticker, it says, "We inspire Creativity". Kind of neat. The sentiment is computer-generated.

My tears do not line up perfect but I'm happy to have the idea for the other 30 trees that I cut out. Idt this die is for a tree but it was the easiest thing available. I think it's a pennant. It was part of a RAC package.

Lawn Fawn Wheel From the Artic to the Beach cards

Lawn Fawn Stamp and die set with the Reveal Wheel. All of the images were colored with Copic markers and then cut out with their matching dies

For the walrus, I dry embossed the bottom and then inked it with Ranger's distress ink.

The next pictures are the different sentiments revealed when you turn the wheel.

I have problems with them warping because of the humidity in my basement.
