Bottle Cards

Hello Everyone!
Today I have a collection of cards I made with a bottle stamp and punch.  I used punched bottles as masks too to make interesting backgrounds.  I also stamped directly onto paper. Also punched out bottles and added them to backgrounds. Spray inks were used to add color. 








Card below has a reverse mask technique.  I put the punched bottles down on the paper and sprayed the inks.  Then removed the punched bottle masks to reveal paper.




I have more of the bottle cards.  This was one of those projects where I wanted to see how the stamp looked in many colors and techniques.  So, I just kept stamping and stamping. Like I often do. LOL

See you next time for more of the bottle cards.

Bird cards!

Hello Crafty Friends,
Today I have a collection of bird cards I made for friends.  I mad the cards for them to send out. All the cards use the same stamp set.  I did some fussy cutting and made die cuts for the backgrounds.













 The cards turned out quite pretty and my besties were really pleased to receive them and look forward to sending them out.  Share the joy!

Wedding Easel Card

Hello Everyone!
Was on a blogging break during the summer. Seemed like I was just busy all the time and I was working on several quilt projects too. So here I am back with cards that I have been making over the last few months. This is a wedding card I made for my bestie Sandie.  

I stamped flowers and fussy cut, made lots of die cuts, used gold embossing powder, and gold papers to put together this elegant easel wedding card.
The gold sealing was piece on the envelope came from the wedding invitation.













 So glad to be back and blogging. I still have lots of yard work to do for the end of the season, but I will have more time to post photos and write a few lines. Thanks for stopping by today and see you next time!!
