2 CARDS USING UP CARD PARTS




The balloons on both of the cards are stickers from Elizabeth Crafts.  I had them on the papers and colored so all I needed to do was to mat them and add them to a card.  The first one was done with double sided adhesive paper and glittered.  For the second card I simply added the balloons to white card stock.

COLORFUL TREES


Sadly, soon the trees around here will begin to change their colors.  I love Fall when we have good weather and the trees can be beautiful but they do signal what is to come..........Winter.  These are not the colors we will see around here, but it was a fun card to make.  I borrowed a Stampin' Up! stamp set from one of my friends to stamp these images.  Once again the piece was in my card parts for over a year.  I'm glad this one finally was completed.

BIRTHDAY BUTTERFLIES


Each year the care center where my mother-in-law resided holds a special program and family members of those who passed in the previous year are invited to release Monarch butterflies.  Several of our family attended.  One of our granddaughters who was there had a birthday a couple of weeks ago so this is the card I made for her.  She was very close to her Great Grandmother.  Although the stickers are not Monarch butterflies, I knew she would appreciate the thought.

CITY LANDSCAPE


Another card part used!  The die cut had been on the white layer for a long time.  I had also used a marker to add yellow behind the black die piece, but then it sat in with all the other pieces for a long time.  I grabbed one of my "go to" sentiments, added it to a piece of SU Daffodil Delight card stock and then onto a card base.  DONE!

ALTENEW TULIPS


Yesterday I posted a card that felt like Fall.  Today I'm not necessarily feeling like Spring, but this is another "card part" that has been waiting to be added to a card.

I stamped the sentiment across the flowers and then matted with a color that blended with the tulip buds.  Once it was added to a white card base it was another card part used!!!

SUNFLOWER CARDS



I hope all of you are having a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.  September begins to feel like Fall to me so a Sunflower seemed to be very appropriate today.

When our group met in 2017, Kris had the supplies for us to make a card using the sunflower die.  I completed that card at the time but also cut additional pieces.  In the effort to be using up  "pieces" I made two cards like this.  The burlap "ribbon" is from Stampin' UP! and works great with the sunflower.   I ran the "ribbon"  through my Xyron to add adhesive to the back.

RITA HOLMES INSPIRED ME AGAIN

 Yesterday I watched Rita's video on Facebook.  This was a bit of a challenge for me but I am pleased with the results.  The front has a...
