Monday

 Still Monday & boring TV is on, so I will share another collection! This is the Tim Holtz Bold word text #1. I have shared cards with these dies before, but really liked them, and got them out for another round!

                                                                   

                    The backgrounds were already made. Love it when I can just pick from a stack and be able to use it

The flowers were premade too!! How cool is that? Tim Holtz

Forgot the O in the 'you'. Maybe it is okay. Sometimes you don't see imperfections until you post.

 Thanks for looking again!

 Hi from sunny Oregon! Its evening and dinner is over, so, it is time to share some cards. These are cards I did a while back, and they got deleted from my camera stick...Oh no. I had to 're photograph' them. I did so on black cardstock. Not sure I like the outcome. Just let you decide. These are the 'boots' dies from spell binders. Have fun as usual!  

                                      

                            Hope you enjoy & thanks for looking!

Wednesday

 Hi again!! Here are a few miscellaneous cards. Some are really old wooden stamps, some we took off the mount so that I could use them in the misty.  This is a Northwoods stamp. 

The one below is a Penny Black stamp

                                                  This is from Outlines Rubber stamps

                                             Next is a foil die, it is prettier than the photo.

                                       I did have more to add, but there is a glitch in the camera stick all of a sudden .... so that is it for now!

                                  Thanks for looking!

 Today I think I might play a little 'catch up'. I have cards that I haven't yet shared and its getting out of control. Had a camera stick that was full. I deleted a bunch of images & now it is okay. So I am using two camera sticks and at my age I confuse easily!! Good grief!! Lets just get started..... the first ones are Tim Holtz wreath die from the vault. I didn't need another wreath. BUT, it is small, and sweet. 

                    I am obsessed with the spellbinders arch dies too. I used it for the TH bunny & chick cards, and the spellbinder monster & dinosaur cards.  My favorite is the wreath with the dark background.

                      
             Moving along. This is a big lot sticker set.  It was pretty old.

                      Next set of cards to share today are the Mix & Match butterflies from Simon Says stamps. Another favorite!

The abstract (?) background is from Uniko in the UK.

                                                   

                              

Wish I could tell you where the word strips came from. I do a ton of them in all different embossing powders, foil, colored paper and ink all at once, sorry I can't tell what set they came from! I just dump them out.... bags & bags.... and rifle through.

Hope you found something different, although I do a lot of generic cards that could be used for various occasions. 

                                  Thanks for looking!

Thursday

 Well, I haven't added to my blog for about 11 days!! Oh oh, just kept finding other things to do!! But then I do have several collections to add. Lets get started! 

Tim Holtz 'blossom' from awhile ago. It is probably one of the easiest layered cards I have ever made. Love it. I was able to use some backgrounds that were 'just laying around'. The stripes were put together on the one above, and the one below is a collaged watercolored piece. Just sittin' there!

 The gold frame almost got thrown out several times! But I filled the opening with some hunky dory paper (an old peony pattern), and added the red blossom! For every piece you cut remember you have to put it together. Ha! 

                    Just because.... the easy cards below were made with the same hunky dory papers.

                                  

Tim Holtz vintage butterfly 'from the vault' series. There are two butterflys. 

Life is better with a shaker card! And your vintage butterfly!

Thanks for looking!!
