January Stamping

 Here are the cards I made in January;

  This picture was taken by Sam after he got the card to show me it how it is being displayed.

Time Flies When I am Stamping

 SO  I haven't posted a page since November? My intention was to post every month, but that hasn't happened. Oh, well, new year so trying again. Here are the Christmas cards I made in December.

And here are birthday cards I made, too:

Let me know in the comments if you want more info on the stamps I used or the techniques. I have started adding my signature to my photos on my blog to discourage anyone from using the photo as their own.

Give Thanks

It is Thanksgiving Day 2020 and while I know many in the country are wondering why give thanks, I have much to be grateful: family, friends, and my faith. Here is a card I made for a friend using paper I had forgotten I had in my stash and a new die from Hero Arts. I applied some white pigment ink in the center to diffuse the print before glueing the pumpkin and stamping the sentiment.

Summer Cards

 I just realized I meant to put these cards up on this blog but for some reason, I didn't until now.

Anniversary Card for Tim's parents, this year's was their last together.

September Cards

 I know, it is now October, but I didn't realize it has been over a month since I posted here. So here's some pix of cards I made in September.

I made the pink one first, then decided to make one a little bigger with a ribbon to close the folds. Both cards have been mounted onto a folded base.

Months of Cards

well it has been a few months since my last post and I would have thought I would have made a pile of cards, because there's not much else to do during this "virus time", but if it weren't for the times I needed a particular card for someone or my group Sisters in Stamping who still meet weekly in a zoom meeting, I wouldn't have much to show I am afraid. In our zoom meetings we choose a theme or material to use for cards to "show n tell" the following week. Anyways here's a small collection of cards I have made (and remembered to photograph before sending out).

On the ship one below, you pull up to reveal a colored image and the words stamped: OH SHIP I forgot your birthday. And I forgot to take a photo showing that. We were to make cards with acetate.

The cards below cards were all made with vellum.  

The card on the left was made by running the vellum piece through an embossing folder, turning raised parts white. The sentiment and leaves were glued on top of the vellum and then adhered to a blue panel before adding to the base card.. 

The cone flower was stamped with FSJ inks, giving it sufficient dry times, then splattered with black silk ink and NUVO drops in the center. Not crazy about the black splats, but there's no going back. That stamp set is FSJ Beautiful Friendship, btw. 

I am not really happy with the coloring behind the pink flower. I think it would look better behind a beach scene or lighthouse. Those stamps are from Gina K Designs Best Flowers, stamped with Versamak and embossed in white before coloring with COPIC markers on the back. I used a border die cut to hide the glue behind the vellum piece.
