Library Card set of 6

I made these fun cards a couple weeks ago, and just saw them in my "drafts" file!  Uh oh.  They are too cool to keep to myself, though, if I do say so myself.


Well, so I didn't add glitter.





Supplies:

  • Library card bases
  • Dylusions sprays (including the White Linen which has pigment requiring some shaking...)
  • The gals were all cut from some old crochet catalog for hats
  • The quotes were from my snippet tin from old books
  • Tim Holtz stencils used including Clockwork, Plus, Floral, and Diamonds.
That's all there is to this.  I'll share these at the following challenges:

Oriental Sympathy Card

I made this


Supplies:

  • Paper is by GCD from 2008!!! Yes, 10 years old.  Never been cut.
  • I have been looking for a sympathy stamp I like for months now... and continue to strike out, so I freaking carved one!  It is rudimentary, but I do like the rough carved look with the rough edges.  I inked it with Tim Holtz Mixed Media ink in Vintage Photo. 
  • Cardstock from Recollections Earth pack.
I'll share this with the House That Stamps Built current AG.  I haven't played over there in a while.

CAS notecards

Made these this week one afternoon... I am still getting used to being back at work, and so the afternoons have found me in the shack, just kind of decompressing from all of the "peopling"!




I decided I would make some notecards with stamps that I had carved.  It was the extent of what my brain could process!  Haha!  I was like, "Make cards with homemade stamps.  Add simple sentiments." DONE!  And I think it was a successful session.

Supplies and notes:
  • Hand carved stamps all inked with Ranger Archival in Jet Black (the dog [Millie] was one of the first stamps I ever carved... maybe 3 years ago?  The butterfly was carved in April of 2017, and the heart was carved this March.)
  • Sentiments all written with Tim Holtz Distress Crayon on my mat with water and brushed on
  • The paper is all from a mixed stack from Tuesday morning. (I actually bought another identical pack-- great random colors and good quality.)
I'll share these at the following challenges:

Bugs bugs bugs...

Made these to play along with the current challenge at SOS... of which I am a proud member of the DT, but I also love the spirit of SOS... Love to shop my stash when I have time.

Supplies:
  • The bug paper is by Echo Park, and just came out last year, so it's not that stashy...
  • Black cardstock was scraps
  • The sentiments are stash! They are by Heidi Swapp from a few years back
  • Enamel dots (pink) are also from a few years ago
  • Viva Paper Pearls in Cream are from an old tube
  • Papers on the background were scraps of Cardstock from the Recollections Earth pack, given by a friend
I'll share this with SOS, of course, and also at the following challenges:
