Inspire Card

Good day everyone!

A couple posts ago I shared a 

herringbone background like this one.

Here is another card I made with the pieces

I made in my play session

I used some left over pieces from my stash

to make this background, so it was a good 

'use your stash' project.

I happened to have a scrap of card stock sitting

on my work area with butterflies on it.

So I fussy cut one of them and added it to

the card.

The sentiment was from an old set from my

stash.

When you have some scraps on hand, or a background

piece that you have made and put into your stash,

it's easy and fast to get a card together.

Thanks for spending some time with me today.

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

use your stash.

 

Card With Dimensional Circles

Welcome!
I'm glad you are here to visit for a little while.

Today I am sharing a card that I made using a 

technique that I saw on a You Tube channel that
I follow.

In the video, she uses rice paper, but I didn't 

happen to have any.  I did, however, have another

type of paper that was fairly thin, so I decided to

give it a try.

I punched circles from card stock with punches that I had handy,

then glued them together to give them a bit more 

depth.  I think I used 3 for each circle.
The circles were glued to a piece of card stock.

I then used alcohol inks to color the paper.

The panel was then covered with glue.

I used glue stick, as I didn't want it to dry before

I got the colored piece in place as I wanted it.

I used a bone folder to smooth the paper down and over

the circles.  I had to be sure to press around the circles

to have that paper adhere around them and show the dimension.

The "joy" was stamped onto a piece of card stock and punched

out with an oval punch.  I inked the edges of the oval with

the same color I used to stamp the sentiment, then

adhered it to the front of the card.

A simple white card base set it off very nicely.

I'm very happy with this card, something a little different

and I think, very pretty.

Thanks for stopping today, 

I hope you have enjoyed your time here and 

have been inspired in some way.

Come again soon.

Until then,

try something new, even if you

don't have the same supplies in the 

example you see.

 

Using What I Have

Hi crafty people!

Today I'm showing you a couple cards that I 

made, using some of the things in my stash.

The background piece is a piece of card stock 

from my stash of gelli prints.  I've had it a long time,

so have no idea exactly how I made it.  Probably just 

craft paints on my gelli plate.
The leaves are some eco printing that I did, by placing 

leaves onto card stock and running them through my 

Cuttlebug

The shine sentiment is from a random set in my stash.

Once it was stamped onto a piece of the eco print card,

it was layered onto a piece of the gelli print card.

This purple and turquoise background piece was made with

Dylusion sprays that were sprayed onto a piece of photo paper.

The leaves were an eco print from my stash.

I decided to leave this with no sentiment on the outside

or the inside to make it a note card to be used for 

whatever I need at the time.

I'm glad you stopped by today to see what I've been up to.

I hope you've been inspired in some way and 

will come again soon.

You never know what you'll find on

Until then,

use your stash!

Spin Painting Clean Up #2

Hello and welcome!

Today I have a couple more cards that I made

with the clean up from doing spin painting with 

Marie.
This is the paint that was dried onto the inside

of the salad spinner after making some 

spin painting prints.
I simply peeled it off and glued it to 

pieces of card stock.

I wanted to do something a little different for this

card, so I adhered the piece with the paint onto 

a piece of white card stock.
I folded that and adhered it to a piece of

heavy weight hand made paper.
The hand made paper was torn to A2 size.

Inside I stamped this sentiment from my stash.

I love how this card turned out, it's a little outside

the box for me and I love it.

I had this small piece of "paint clean up" on an odd

sized piece of card stock, so I cut it down to add

to the side of a card.

I then added the sentiment onto black card stock and

onto a piece of mulberry paper.  
I left the inside blank on this one.

So glad you stopped by today,

I hope you have been inspired in some way

and will come again.

Until then,

use something that is usually thrown away

to make something creative.
