Super Simple Scrap Card

This was super easy to make from scraps.

Some of the scraps came from this old calendar

that I dismantled to reuse the bits and pieces from.

The ribbon, die cut stitched scallop edge and

die cut yay! are new pieces.

Thanks for looking =)

3D Butterfly Sticker Card 2

This is the last of the simple cards I made using

popped up stickers I found in a box of freebies

at a yard sale last month. 

The stamp image is from Stampin' Up!

(partially inked to omit the flowers)

Glittery green paper and pink card stock are 

layered behind a stitched rectangle die cut.

3D Butterfly Stickers Tag Card

Simple and sweet card using a tag and 3D stickers

with a few embellishments. 

Stickers, unknown. They were in a box of freebies from a yard sale. 

Textured blue card stock is a note card from 

Die Cuts With A View that I trimmed.

It is mounted on top of a white card base.

The tag was die cut with a really old steel rule die

that came with the huge Accucut die cut machine I

bought years ago, before there were small die cut machines. 

The clouds embossing folder came from Stampin' Up!

The shimmery edged organdy ribbon was ordered from an online

supplier years ago, I think it may have been JKM Ribbon.

3D Butterfly Sticker Card 1

The first of three quick cards I made with 3D butterfly stickers

(unknown, they were in a box of freebies from a yard sale)

I made recently. I added simple stamping embellished with

a die cut shape and a pressure embossed background

to dress it up.

The rubber stamp image and die cut shape are from Stampin' Up!

The paisley embossing folder was from Cuttlebug.

3D Daisy Sticker Card

Putting to use another freebie from a yard sale - 

the 3D flowers sticker to create this simple card.

The white panel was die cut with a 

stitched rectangle die then water colored.

I'll add a greeting later.

It's layered over Old Olive and
Barely Banana (textured) card stock. 

Thanks for looking =) 

Swirly Bunny Baby Card

The adorable 3D bunny sticker was a freebie

from a yard sale I attended earlier this fall.

It was the inspiration for the card design.

I die cut a scalloped square glittery green piece of

card stock for the base.

There is a pink layer between it and the white

swirl dry embossed piece.

Sandwiched between the sticker and the 

white swirly piece is a scrap of vellum. 

Simple enough to make this sweet card.

Bright Oxides and Dragonflies Card

Second attempt at using Oxide Distress inks last month. 

It didn't turn out too badly I suppose.

The stamped sentiment is by Stampin' Up!

The dragonfly stickers were freebies from a yard sale

earlier this fall.

Wonderful Romance Sympathy

This card is a copy from the Occasions catalog

this year by Stampin' Up!

All supplies used were from  Stampin' Up!

The greeting is from an older stamp set,

but the rest of the images and die cuts 

were made with the new Wonderful Romance bundle.

I water colored the images with inks from my classic 

Stampin' Up! ink pads and an aquapainter. 

It was stamped on water color paper. 

The inside of the card is lined with vellum

that I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment onto.

Last month when I had a few days to make several cards,

it was almost like it was a premonition:

I made two sympathy cards for a challenge

then I needed to mail them out two weeks later.

I also made a sending good thoughts card

that I could have made for myself after having

 broken a toe pretty badly one week after making the card.

I lucked out and will not need surgery on it,

but will have to wear a boot for 6 weeks. 

It's still very sore and swollen.  I'm surprised

to see the bruising disappearing after one week.

All of the cards I made in that stretch will be shared this month.

Maple Syrup Jar Photo Holder

Today I am happy to share with you

my most recent creation as a design team member

for Love To Craft Challenge.

We are a month long anything crafty goes challenge.

We'd love to see what you've made!

My project is a photo holder made from a leaf shaped jar

that once held maple syrup. My daughter brought it back

from a trip she took to Canada.

I poured metallic acrylic craft paint inside and swirled 

it around to coat it. It took such a long time to dry.

I cut a photo clip from an old photo holder

that my daughter no longer wanted.

I dabbed some alcohol ink onto it
so that it would'n't be as shiny silver.

I then stuck it through a piece of cork

 that fit perfectly in the mouth of the jar.

The tag was made with rubber stamps,

a digital image by Kimeric Kreations,

inks and paint.

Brown satin ribbon and gold metallic cord

are tied into a bow then hot glued on.

Thanks for looking, have a great day =)
