St. Patrick's Day Card and ATC

Backing up to St. Patrick's Day.. Card I made for my BFF and then Graphic45 ATC swap. The theme was Spring and SPD.

Making Cards by the bazillions!

With this stuck at home pandemic Covid-19 going on I have plenty of time to make cards! I have made a ton. I am going to post them in a bunch of posts because I think I can only do 5 images a post? Anyway hope it inspires someone to have some play time and fun during this strange time. If you want a name of the paper or stamps etc. just ask in comments, I will receive an email that you commented and I will answer in comments. I don't make money on this so I don't post all the info because I don't like typing all at one time LOL!

First a shaker card I love! It turned out so cool. Of course the sloth is the star!

Card for a friend so she can have a sample to make herself

Y’all- I love this card!

I can’t stop making this card! Today I made a shaker card with it. Love this new sloth set. Anyway without much further ado...

More Diamond Easel Cards

Ok I had to make more! Fun card to make, seems I like to make non-standard cards. I mailed the Valentine one to my mom and I had a hard time finding an envelope to fit. I also ended up putting one of those hand cancel stamps on it. No biggie really when it comes down to it.

Valentines Card Diamond Easel Card

I am obsessed with Easel Cards! Here is another one, Diamond Easel. I found it on Stamping Bella by Sandiebella. She posts every Thursday and her cards are amazing! This sweet little girl is from Penny Black stamps and the paper is from Stampin’ Up!

Star Easel Card

This card, oh my! I just bought this beautiful paper and wanted to feature it on a card and saw this beautiful style on a blog and had to make it. Love it! The paper is by Bobunny called Harmony. Card is not hard to make. Its a rectangle cut on the diagonal to make triangles. Just assemble!

Graphic 45 Paper Card Flutter

Stamp Simply Ribbon Store has some great Graphic 45 papers on sale for 40% off. They posted a gorgeous card that I just had to CASE! Yes, I bought paper packs from them as well. Actually I have been purchasing ribbon, stamps and dies from them for many years. Great service and great people. This card is the set called Flutter. Here is the link to the sale: https://stampsimply.com/shop/catalog/graphic-m-7.html?sort=2a I do not get $ for this! Anyway I love this card, it is so pretty. I hand dyed the ribbon to match, it is watermelon wonder by Stampin Up, I don't believe they sell it anymore. The center flower is a Heartfelt Creations stamp and die set with Prills in the center. Thanks for stopping by!

More Valentine's Cards

The basket card is a stamp I got on clearance a long time ago and never used it! Found it the other day and look how pretty it turned out. I had no idea. Sometimes these clearance items are gems in disguise. The other card is all dies from The Stamps of Life by Stephanie Bernard. It is a fun and quick fold-it die card.

Valentines Day Card

This card is for my hubby. We love Slothes, they are so cute - well some are and some stamp companies have come up with the cutest stamps. This one is from Art Impressions. The heart dies are from The Stamps of Life. I used a card sketch posted online for a challenge. I am really pleased with this. I sent it in to be hopefully shown on a very influencial excellent card maker/artist's youtube show! Kristina Werner if you know her, she is having a mail call again. Have been making cards as much as possible lately and haven't been keeping up with posting so Ive posted a whole bunch at once. Probably not the way to go for my followers but hopefully you're enjoying this bunch of cards!

Birdie Cards and well a cat...

The first card is just random I wanted to use these cute little bird stamps kind of card. The second card is using part of The Stamps of Life Januarys die hard kit. I have been getting those kits since last March, almost a year now! Stephanie herself talked me into it and signed me up. She is a doll! I have only received two I didn't like and promptly sold them, plus one I gave as a birthday gift to someone I knew would love the set. So I am pleased overall with being in the Club. This one, oh yes birds and birdhouses! LOVE it of course! I saw another card from a stamp company that had a stamp of the birdhouse and cat all in one. Their cat was adorable but I had to find a cat in my collection that would work with this birdhouse. This cat is an old stamp, if you really want to know who it is by let me know and I will look it up and post it. I put it away. So this is fun to me even if I did have to fussy but the cat.

Altenew Die cut layers flower card

So this is the other kit I received for 45% off special. This set has a myriad of similar looking dies that was so hard to figure out! Gaaa which one goes with which flower?! It took a while but I figured it out and got to die cutting. I do love these flowers but didn't want to go through that again so I cut magnet sheets and placed the dies together in a row for each flower (there are 4 dies per flower). There are 6 different flowers and several leaves but I organized it so not going through that again! They just put them on the sheet to fit in the envelope, not together for the flower. I am pleased with the outcome. The thanks die is Stamps of Life.

More Altenew Flower Cards

So I got a couple new sets at 45% off from Altenew and am busy making flower cards again. The dots background stamp is my new favorite background! I didn't even realize I was getting it and when it came as part of the kit I thought I would try it. Stamped it in crumb cake stamped off once and ooooo very cool. I then used a stitched rectangle die to cut it.

Love Vellum layers in this Flower Card

Whoever came up with the idea to use vellum in layers of this flower was a genius! It is so cool. So this is a CASE but I used patterned paper with flowers and then used the same colors in my Altenew flower. LOVE THIS!!!
