Wishes are magic card

I used to go to all the local craft and stamp shows. I also went to some of these longer retreat type events. Many people that went to things like that would either make ATC's or gather their scraps and give them away. I did too. The multi striped background of this card is a piece of paper I got from one of these shows. It had been hanging around for years and I finally found a use for it. the other two tan colored papers were left over from some other card project. I can't remember when or where I hade this tag but I decided they all went together so I created this card.

Best Wishes Card

Here's a card I made using some left over scraps from and unknown collection. I had the Best Wishes greeting from a pack of 5-6 sentiments and thought it coordinated well.

Wish card

Here's a card I made using paper and (most of the) embellishments from Melissa Frances. The paper is from the 5th Avenue collection. My additions was the gold trim and the Silhouette "wish" cutout.

You are a treat card

Here's another card I made from the Shape It CD by Technique Junkies. I made a few changes. I decided to use a real straw and just cut it. I used far less bubbles than theirs and somehow my measurements were off so instead of two I have three panels on the glass part of the card.

Happy Anniversary

This is the last of three card I used from the Spun Sugar card kit by Hot off the Press. I added the pearl flourish and also the single pearls on the green paper flourish. I also tried to maximize my use of the paper so I added the patterned paper to a brown background paper. the pink/mauve paper with the intelligible handwriting also came from my stash. It's actually from an ATC kit.

Best Wishes card

This is the second of three card I made using the Spun Sugar card kit from Hot off the Press. All items were from the kit and I'm sending it as an anniversary card. My only addition was to ink the edges of the paper.

Take time to smell the coffee

Here's a card I made for a birthday Using the Technique Junkie Newsletter Shape it CD. I've had this CD for a while but had it in a place I don't often look. I was looking for something else and rediscovered the great card ideas and decided to use one. I couldn't find my paper crimper but happened to have some corrugated cardboard and used that instead.

The stamps are a combo of Hero Arts and Impression Obsession.

Youth is the gift of nature card #2

It's difficult to see with this scan but I used my score pal to create a diagonal pattern and then used an old stamp set from See Dee's. This is the same sentiment as last weeks card.

Youth is the gift of nature card #1

I'm using this sentiment stamp in next weeks post as well. I've had this card minus the sentiment for quite a while and needed a quick card so I used my Tim Holtz Tonic stamp positioner and it's an easy peasy card.
