More blooms, of course.

 Three more sets of flower cards.  This first one uses Spellbinders' Be Bold Blooms, the next was flowers cut from the tie-die paper pad I've been working on using up.  The third is a generic flower that was cut from white cardstock and lightly shaded with some Distress Oxide in Worn Libstick. The greenery is from my leftovers box, and the sentiments are from Honey Bee Stamps.

Favorite flower

 

A flower, cut out of Honeybee Stamps' tie-dye paper, on a fern background. The green strip on the side is washi tape from the Van Gogh tapes recently acquired from Temu.

Paper "busting" cards.

One more (5 x 7) using the Honey Bee Stamps' Lovely Layers Wildflowers.  The border is Distress Oxide Aged Mahogany, as is the stamped handwriting background and light inking. The center stripe is washi tape from a Van Gogh set I got at Temu.

I also did a trio of A2 "Thank You" cards using that same MFT paper pad I've been trying to use up.

 

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?

Smiling planter

 

I needed a get-well card, in a hurry. I chose this embossed background (Spellbinders 3D embossing folder of the month for February 2023. I paired it with this planter die set from SB's January kit (the add-on die).

Most of my get-well sentiment stamps presume an illness, but in this case it was a broken foot that needed to be acknowleged.
