Thinking of you

 
Still keeping my New Years Resolution to use the craft supplies I bought, but rarely or never use.   I made this inchie card with a EK Success 1" punch that I bought a long time ago and haven't touched in years.   The flower stamp is from Penny Black, and the saying stamp is by Wordsworth.  Stamped with Versafine Black ink.  The scalloped border was cut out with a Spellbinders die.

Flowers and butterflies

 
I'm trying out some sketch layouts to use up the big packages of kraft and black cardstock I bought at Michaels during the big clearance sale two months ago.  There's 50 sheets in each pack so I need to make a lot of cards with those cardstock colors.  The pretty flower stamp is from Penny Black.  Butterflies were cut out with my Cameo using a file I found at the Silhouette store.

Thinking of you

 
My Silhouette subscription is due to run out in a week so I went shopping at the store and found some cute Strawberry Shortcake images.  I printed them, then cut out with Cameo.  Oval background layers were cut out with Spellbinders dies.  Pink background layer was embossed with Cuttlebug folder that I bought but never used.  The twine is ivory that was colored to match the cardstock with a copic marker.  Also used prima flower and green gem.  This is for the little girls at the Children's Charity.

Lacey Hearts

 
I purchased this Spellbinders Lacey Hearts die set last year and I haven't made anything with it yet.  So in keeping with my New Years Resolution (to use those impulse purchases), I dug it out of my stash and made a Valentine's Day card.  It doesn't show up very well in the photo, but the red layer was embossed with Sizzix texture plate.

Carousel Horse




While looking through my Silhouette Studio library, I found this fun Carousel Horse Card cutting file that I bought a long time ago.  I decided it was time to use it, so I cut it out with my Cameo using a bright yellow card base and white front.  Added a flower print ribbon from my scrap box.
This is for the little kids at the Cards 4 Hospitalized Kids Charity.
