Do you ever what just a portion of a phrase on a stamp? Here's what I do when that happens. . .I cover the part I don't want with tape. Then stamp my ink pad on the stamp. REMOVE the tape, and then stamp on my card!
This card is still using some of the Fruit Salad papers from Sale-A-Bration. I still have lots left from my first pack of paper. You can actually make four cards out of one sheet of 6 x 6 papers!

Today's card is still using leftover pieces from the Poppin' Birthdays Paper Pumpkin kit. I believe this is the last one from this kit. No promises!
I do post on Facebook and Instagram as well. I try to reach out to as many people as I can. I use card making as a stress reliever so I have a lot of cards. I reserve my extra Christmas cards to send to Cards for Soldiers.
Remember to check my on line store as I try to post my cards there for sale for you.

Today's card is still using up pieces from the Poppin' Birthday Paper Pumpkin kit.
I used a basic white card base and used the other half of the card included in the kit that I cut in half. Using some of the pieces, I created a cake with four candles on it. The sentiment on the inside is from the stamp set included in the Poppin' Birthdays kit.

Today, being Sibling Day, I wanted to share the cards I made for my three sisters. I made my first one with my friend, Sandra.
Then I proceeded to make some Lavender Crosses for my Scrapbooking buddies. Then I made these.
What do you think? My upline, Susie Wood, made one for the front of the card. I'm going to play with that next.
Be sure to let me know what you think of these cards. If you would like to see some more like these, I can make them and put up on my store!

Today's card is also using pieces from the Poppin' Birthday kit. I used Flirty Flamingo for the card base. I cut one of the card bases included in the kit to make my first layer. I used my Happy Birthday die and cut the two words so I could place on this card. On the inside, I added a piece of white card stock (easier to write on) and dressed it up with a bow on top and strip of coordination paper on the bottom.

While "working" in my Craftroom, I pulled out some old partially finished Paper Pumpkin kits. This kit had some partially made up cards that I just needed to add some finishing touches.
I did go in for an epidural shot in my lower back yesterday. This is my second one in 6 months. The shots do help, but will probably have to have back surgery next.

I hope you had a great weekend. I've been playing with more designer series papers that I received from Sale-A-Bration. Today's share is a card I made following Kerry McDonough's share. I did estimate my sizes and so I added a green layer to accommodate my shortage. I still like how this card turned out. Let me know if you like the layout!
I used two separate Paper Pumpkin stamps to get my birthday wishes on the front. On the inside, I used the sentiment from Layering Leaves.
Come back tomorrow for more inspiration!

For today’s card, this is my normal 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 style card. I fussy cut all the fruit from the fruit salad designer papers. The sentiment is from the Layering Leaves stamp set. Since I had a little piece of the background paper, I added that to the inside edge.
Inspiration came from the Artisan team of Stampin’ Up!

This card was inspired by the Stampin’ Pretty team of Stampin’ Up! I used the fruit salad designer series papers from Sale-a-Bration. The words are both from the stamp set So Sincere.

One last 5 x 7 card I created using older papers. This is another card for my sister, Linda.
If you need to use up your pretty papers, these larger cards are a good way to share your beautiful papers. I have many floral papers available to choose from, so if you would like to come learn how to make your own cards, be sure to contact me.
And if you like these larger cards and want to buy one of them, let me know as I don't normally make this size unless requested.
Happy Crafting,
