Celebrate card




Here's another card I made with left over paste papers from years ago. I outlined the stamped designs and then stamped a sentiment inside that you can't see. It says "Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is mystery, Today is a gift." It's a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. The quote seems to fit for a birthday card so that's what I'm using it for.

Wake up it's your birthday card




This is another card made using the marbled papers from years ago. This time I cut the paper to fit an A2 size then inked the raised portions of a Cuttlebug folder (yes I know it's backwards, I actually like it better this way). It's sort of grungy and I think my recipient will like this.

Thinking of You card




Here's another card I made using the papers I made years ago. The outside is smaller than the inside since the papers aren't the traditional A2 card size. This one was a plain marbled paper. I used Hero Arts stamps on the inside and outside. Inside the sentiment says "Happy Birthday from someone who gives a hoot".

Yellow Throated Vireo Card




Here's a card I made using materials from SEI. This card is a partner to the Western Tanager card I displayed a couple of months ago. This is for a birthday and I hope she likes it.

Happy Anniversary Card





I think after 5 years of sitting around accumulating dust you ought to do something with "stuff" you intended to make into books... and so I did. Here's my original post on the attempt to recreate some papers I made in a class. The class was in 2008 and I made the papers a year later in 2009 but like many ideas I have they stayed as ideas and didn't amount to much of a finished product. I finally took some of these papers and reused them as cards. I'm pleased with my initial batch and will continue to reduce the clutter. Except for outlining the edges of what I stamped with a micron marker I didn't do anything to the outside. The inside was blank so I stamped on it.
