 Still playing 'catch-up'. The next few cards are new from Kristina Werner. 

Easy cut, versatile card again. There are probably 4 cards here that are different. Really! I used the kraft or white base paper, different designer papers (ink-blended), and then the dies varied from ivory to white cardstock. 

    Wish I had made some yellow or orange. Maybe I'll do more of these cards. Nice for the nursing homes or a package of cards for someone else as a gift.

                                          Thanks for looking!

 I'm going out on a limb here! Doing two posts in one night. Hopefully these will be easy and edited, and my format stays intact! 

             So simple, so versatile! Love Uniko stamps and stencils. The stencil is the Mid-Century stars & circles. The sign stamp set is the Mid-century Modern frames set. There are 3 frames in the set.     

 Just felt bad that I only stenciled this one one time. The stencil used on the card below is the Modern background builder.

 Used the monochrome colors. Thought it was okay for a man.

                       Next one is browns too. Maybe a guy, maybe a woman?? I tried the zentangles in the center of the design.

                                        

                                        

                                         Thanks for looking!

 So sorry about the silence. I am trying to think of an excuse, but just time eluded me throughout February! Thats about all I can come up with!! Lets get started! Here are a few miscellaneous cards. Not sure where this Happy 'coverplate' is from, the butterflys are Gina k.

Next two are Unity 'ity bittys' 

 Not sure about the next stamp set. But they are pretty funny

This is the Wendy Vecchi cake. It is really cute as opposed to the picture?)  

Maybe the next one is clearer. I wanted to make more!

                      The balloons are a layered stencil & the birthday card is a 'cake' card front from Creative Expressions.  Just a few extras for today. Tomorrow I will add some 'collections' that are newer.           

                                               

                                        Thanks for looking!

Been almost a month since I sat down and blogged!! These are some random cards that were half-finished. Just decided to get them done. The one with the sunflower is a 'better press' die from Spellbinders and it is stunning! Be nice if I did more than one!!

 The pink combo was featured using a stamp set that I got from Ali, so I am not sure where it came from. The arches are from Spellbinders. Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.

 .                                                     

            Grateful for every little thing. Maybe LDRS stamps

This set had a 3-D basket die & all these gorgeous flowers. Got it for Christmas and have no idea who made it.  Pretty just as a card. I left the black card without a sentiment until I decide whom to send it to.

Love this little set. It is an extra card made from the 2024 advent calendar. #8.

           Hope you are staying warm

Thanks for looking!

January 28th

 It's almost time for dinner! I think it is a soup & grilled cheese kind of night! Probably just get this started and have to stop, eat and return. Lets just see how far I get! We are still featuring the postal collage cards. These feature a little variation in the collage die. It is from The Ton Stamps.' Here comes the Sun'. stencil. 

               I was saving the next one for Valentines, but it is so cute for any occasion. It is called 'Hugs & Kisses', another layering stencil.

 

So that is all for tonight! 

Thanks for looking!

Monday

 This will be the second 'postal collage' series. We used the 'saved' waffle flower die cut base image. Remember I put two on one page? Again, you can do one at a time. This time I used a series of winter inages.  This is how the two die cut pieces look on the scanner.

Back to the winter images. Please check copyrights.  For the next cards I used pre-colored images from

high resolution watercolor clip art. I went to the Etsy site and there are tons of choices! Have fun. Here are the ones I put together. 

             Love the water buffalo and the moose. I couldn't find them, but there are so many more. The tree came from another set. 

                                              

    Check out how I improved the characters sizes. The bear was small and the snowman was hidden behind the tree. Remember if you do this you SAVE SAVE SAVE. One click can destroy, and you get to start over. Yup I know these times............

                                                               

                                                               Hope you enjoyed & stay tuned for more!!
