Ferns everywhere!

 

In another session to "use up" older paper, here are 3 quickie cards using an old My Favorite Things patterned paper, with textured cardstock that was gifted to me many years ago.  The ferns are from Honey Bee Stamps.  These are A2 sized cards.

As a bonus, here is a 5 x 7" card using the same paper packs, with some washi tape around the outside. The flowers are Honey Bee Stamps' Layered Wildflowers.

That one paper I have been avoiding

 

I had a single 12 x 12 sheet of this pretty paper with gourds.  It is beautiful, but so busy that I have been saving this one sheet for over 7 years now.

Enough!  Let's use it up!  I die-cut the "Thanksgiving" sentiment from a "mat stack" that came from Joann's from someone who abandoned it, and used die-cut greenery that were leftovers from a different project. 

The inside of this one has 2 die-cut pumpkins that were also in my leftover box. I also used up some kraft card bases that I made a few years ago.

I also got a new lightbox this week. So far I'm loving it, especially for the stand-up pictures.

Down the rabbit hole of Chinese shopping...

I ordered a few (ha!) crafting supplies from that new "direct to consumer" supplier that ships in orange plastic bags.  I'm not saying who, but you all know.

Anyway, here are a couple of 5 x 7 cards I put together using the dies.

I also used some washi tape and a gold star for this one, above.  For the one below, I used very old stamps from Lawn Fawn and My Favorite Things for the sentiments and bats.

 I may have mentioned in the past that I didn't know Halloween was a card-sending occasion until I started making cards.  Who knew that was a thing?
