Happy Grandparents' Day

We have two beautiful granddaughters one is 12 and the other 5. Gave Bret this card to celebrate the day. Started the card by using a piece of layer of Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 100 lb. cover smooth white cardstock and stamping with color layering parrot stamp set by HA with Altenew crisp dye inks

For Parrot: with tea party collection heart beat, with green fields collection (jet black), with rock gray collection (industrial diamond & pure graphite) for leaves: with tropical forest collection (moss, olive, & bamboo) for flowers: with shades of purple collection (lavender fields), with cherry blossom collection (pinkalicious), with Martian terrain collection (canyon clay) then die cut with double stitched rectangle die by Kat Scrappiness mounted to a layer of 65 lb. red cardstock precut with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers A and then mounted to an A2 card base of Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 120 lb. Cover Smooth white cardstock. 

Message was a combination of two stamp set the happy by Clearly Besotted from Anniversary set and stunning cosmos by Altenew both with VersaFine Clair nocturne ink

Shoebox Thursday

For today's project I have a fun fold using some more of my papers from my Harper’s Boutique paper pack by The Paper Studio also used beautiful day stamp & die set by Altenew and message by brushed greetings II by Clearly Besotted all stamping was done with VersaFine Clair ink nocturne

Washi tape

These were quick cards using a washi tape I found at Impress. Love the tape and was perfect for a main image on a card. These two cards are pretty much the same just different message.

On the first one I used white panel on pink panel then white base with petal pink liquid pearls message from brushed greetings II set by Clearly Besotted with VersaFine Clair nocturne

for the second I used pink layer on white base only with white opal liquid pearl message from same set brushed greetings II by Clearly Besotted with VersaFine Clair nocturne

More OSW

Made some more cards with the one sheet wonder technique. Well not sure if it's actually a technique or not but I am calling it a technique whether it is or not so there LOL

After I made these and these cards I had some papers left over and I liked the paper so once again was saved for one sheet wonder cards and this is what I did with them. Used Pink and Main, Clearly Besotted & Echo Park all with tuxedo black ink

OSW

After I made these cards I had some scraps of background paper left over but I liked the paper so decided to keep it instead of toss it into the recycle bin. I do toss a lot of paper to the recycle or donation box and some goes to my one sheet wonder box which means are papers I like enough not to waste and make cards either for my personal use or donation box.

These are the cards I made with these scraps. I used Honey Bee Stamps & Hero Arts, Winnie & Walter with Hero Arts, Clearly Besotted with Echo Park all with tuxedo black ink

Pink birthday

I was going through my scraps of papers and found a couple 4x4 pieces that I could make quick birthday cards OSW type so I did. I used brushed greetings II set by Clearly Besotted and hybrid black licorice ink

OSW thank you

I wanted to make some cards that would work for either men or women at the end not really sure if they did but either way I liked how these cards came out. I used the one sheet wonder technique to cut my papers because I had several sheets I was able to make a lot of cards even when not enough cuts in one sheet. The ribbon/lace was from my stash just to finish whatever I had left so from previous projects. I tried using different stamp all with tuxedo black ink and punch for the different cards just to make them a little different😊

Heartfelt blooms

This cards was done with heartfelt blooms sale-a-bration set this year, the idea for this card was also from Pinterest, by Linda Parker.

I used cracked pistachio for the stamping. Originally this cards was going to be for shoebox project and mostly, the cards I do for my projects are cards I want to make for my needs or wants, so I did this card for anniversary so I used My Sentiments Exactly set floral anniversary card and decided to punch all 4 corners with an EK Success punch

then I got to thinking that my friends don't make anniversary cards so made it for birthday and since we were going to Darlene's for a few times I just made the cards 😊 figure I would make another project, I wanted to clear my stamping tool LOL. For this one, I only punched the corners on the bottom, the message is from brushed greetings set by Clearly Besotted

Happy St Patrick's Day

Hope you this lucky day is a fun day for you all. This is the card I made for Bret. The fold is like the one Julie Davidson has been making I just altered to suit my needs. Also because I have a bit of OCD my back is nice and neat as all my bands are on the back of my background layer.

The from message is a combination of two messages, the top it's part of a message from thoughtful greetings set by Pretty Pink Posh and the other is part of the set thank you by Clearly Besotted all stamped with dual marker bamboo leaves

for this part I used The Stamps of Life tictactoe2play set with northern pine ink the cloves and shamrocks are from the set best of luck by Pretty Pink Posh stamped with bamboo leaves and colored with Copic markers

the message is also from the same best of luck set with bamboo leaves ink all layers were cut with stitched square dies by The Stamps of Life

Thank you

Back in January I told you I have given a card to a friend and that my friends liked how the card was done so we made it as this shoebox project well somehow I forgot to post the thank you card I originally made.

I wanted a card for both men or women as I was sending the card for 4 recipients in both sex. For this first card I used thank you messages by Hero Arts with ground espresso ink

for this one I used scrumptious script set by Clearly Besotted also with ground espresso

and this last one was Spanish greetings by SU also with ground espresso

More OSW thanks

Another sheet wonder cards that went into my donation box. Have some more that have to put together. For these cards I used scrumptious script set by Clearly Besotted with hybrid black licorice ink

Snowflakes thanks

One more OSW using lace edge border die and brushed grettings II set by Clearly Besotted

Birthday bundle

For my last past paper pumpkin, well still have one but I don't think I'll do anything with that one so for May 2015 paper pumpkin this is what I did

For this kit it was a gift bag with a birthday card but I decided not to make birthday cards. Again I cut in half the card bases so got double the amount. Other than the white card bases and a little of Bermuda Bay cardstock everything else was from the kit...not the messages of course.

For this card I used sending you set by Avery Elle and thanks set by Hero Arts with Bermuda Bay ink

for this one I used sending happy thoughts set by Simon Says Stamp with Bermuda Bay

for this one was thanks set by Honey Bee Stamps also with Bermuda Bay ink

for this one I used party block thanks die by Taylored Expressions

for this one I used autumn greetings set by Sunny Studio also with Bermuda Bay ink

for this one I used scrumptious scripts set by Clearly Besotted and thanks set by Honey Bee Stamps all with Bermuda Bay ink 

and last but not least the strings of the balloons were stamped with the kits set with island indigo ink and the message was also stamped with island indigo and is from layering butterfly set by Hampton Art
