Get Well Doilies

This will be the last of the doilies for a while because I will be starting a new series in a few days.  The pink and black card and the all pink card use the emboss resist technique I talked about the other day.

Friendship Doilies

For the card on the left, I used what was left of the purple thank you card that I posted a few days ago.  The vintage card has a technique called emboss resist.  The doily is stamped and embossed using white powder.  Then kraft colored ink is sponged on top but the part that is embossed does not hold the color.  It is a fun technique.

Thanks Again

Two more thank you cards.  I really like this set and I have used it in a lot of different ways as you have seen the past few days.  The cards today were cut.  The top one I trimed around the doily and on the second one I stamped it and divided the paper in thirds.

Some Thank You Doilies

I don't use a lot of purple but I like the way these turned out.  My SIL Deb would like these as she loves anything purple.

The Butterfly Doily Enlarged

This close up gives you a better idea of what the butterfly birthday card from the previous post looks like.  I tried to get it lined up and I think I got it pretty close.

The First of a Series: Dolies

These are some of the birthday cards that I made using the large doily background stamp.  They all are made using embossing powder which makes them look like it is a real doily instead of a rubber stamp.

Saved the Best for Last

None of the designs that I used the past week or so are my own.  I get many ideas from the wonderful card makers online at splitcoaststamers.com.  I do change them a little depending on what supplies I have.  This design is from a lady who goes by card shark, not playing cards but greeting cards.  Get it?  I think this card is so cute.

Almost Done


Are you getting tired of Christmas cards Yet?  Well, I am almost through posting Christmas for awhile.  Here are a few more cards with ornaments and another one that uses the deer from Winter Post.  The deer has a little touch of some shiny gold paper.

Ornaments for the Tree

The card on the left is made using an ornament punch, not a stamp set.  Punching makes it so easy when working on cards.  After I had these cards done I thought that I should have used a paper clip behind the punched image to make a hanger for the ornament.  Too late now.

Snowmen and Trees

Living where I do, snowmen wouldn't last very long in our yard.  I guess that is why I don't make that many cards with snowmen on them.  Usually the stamp sets have a family of snowmen and there are just the two of us so that bothers me too.  The numbers have to match up right.

Merry Moments


The designer paper that I have used on these cards is Stampin' Up Merry Moments.  I got it off the clearance rack this past year.  What a great deal it was.

Winter Post

These cards have a vintage look to them.  The main set that I used is called Winter Post.  I also used one of my favorite sets called Lovely as a Tree.  I like the blue card and it may become a Christmas card that I will send some year.

Christmas in October

Sure I know I should be posting Halloween stuff, but I didn't make anything new. Be prepared for several days of Christmas cards because once I get going on a theme, it goes on and on.
This is the Stampin' Up set called Dasher with Merry Moments designer paper.
