Dreams in Lace

My goal for this year is to dust off some oldies for each challenge.

The next card for SCS is the letter L.

I dusted of Dream Garden stamp set that's from 1990. 

For the letter L the only thing that came to mind was lace, 

so I used a really old technique that I haven't used since the 1990s LOL.

Put lace on adhesive paper

 then I poured black flocking over it, 

pull off the lace then put white sand where the adhesive remained . 

I stamped the same image I used on the inside on the flap of the envelope

 but I didn't emboss that. 

You can't really tell in any of the photos, I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Not sure if the Black Foil really shows either

Stamps: Dream Garden

Paper: Whisper White and Black Foil

Paper Size: A2

Ink: Versa Mark

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Dies

Techniques: Lace & sand and Embossing

Thanks for looking.

Garage Trio

Using Geared up Garage and Garage Gear dies and using ideas from

 Create with Connie and Mary to create these carts. 

Geared Up Garage Collection

I do not have the DSP so I stamped my own.

The Metallic Silver Edge Ribbon colors very nicely with Black Blends

Smokey Slate, Basic Grey and Granite Grey card stock, 

oh there's also a piece of Whisper White inside the one. 

                         Silver foil paper, black embossing powder and Gallery Grunge for the Tread Lines.
 I used Crushed Curry, Basic Black and Smokey slate for the tread. 

I am thinking of maybe putting another "inside" piece on the left also.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies for the one card. Silver metallic thread 

and Classic Garage Metal Elements

Thank you for looking!

Soft Reeds and Suede Pheasant

First, I had to dust off this set! It is from 2002, Autumn Days. Trying to use my OLD sets a bit before I get too interested in any of the new stuff coming in June.

One of the ladies in my OSW group on Facebook shared the cards she made using this OSW 
I couldn't decide between Braided Linen Trim,, Copper Trim and Burlap Ribbon so I used all 3!

A Challenge on SCS was No Coloring 

Nature's Poem is the only DSP I have that seemed to work with this set. I had already Loved it, Chopped it so I didn't exactly cut the paper as she had done in the OSW plan.

I needed Thinking of You cards for a swap

I used the Thinking of You from Climbing Orchid

Thank you for looking!

With Sympathy

My sister Pat purchased a die on-line for decorating the corners of cards, but had no idea how to use it, so she sent it to me to show her how.
I used it on a lot of card bases and mats just practicing. I made instructions for her and returned it. 
Now to dust off the pieces I made for myself and actually use them

Blackberry Bliss, Grapefruit Grove, Old Olive, Very Vanilla Card stock

Blackberry Bliss ink

Stitched labels dies, Flourish dies, Corner die/embosser and self-adhesive sequins

Thank you for looking!

Mother's Day roses 2019

For Lydia's Freinds and Flowers Challenge

 I make Mother's Day cards for my sisters, SIL Auntie Grama, moms

 and ladies I call mom (Friends) 

For the USEIT2019 Challenge Group

I used Stampin' Up! Climbing Roses, I actually bought this set just for mothers day. (Flowers)

For the All Occasion Card Challenge

I made 12 cards.

Then to make sure DH mom and Grama don't get matching cards,

 I did 2 colors. 

My mom lives with my youngest sister so they get different colors also.

The Pull Out Fun Fold is from Dawn.

I love this fold!

These 2 I did for co-workers.

Embossed in copper then hand colored.

The Eclipse Technique is my favorite. 

I can't believe the Letter Dies are retiring.

Thank you for looking!

I recently joined a group  on SCS, 2019 A-Z Card Swap, and you make a card alphabetically. Right now they are on J so I made it with Joseph's coat technique.

It requires glossy cardstock which I didn't have so I used photograph paper and the first piece I did I actually burned it LOL
The tiny gold beads I have no clue where I got them from or even what brand they are (no label)

SUOC 221: Sketch Challenge

#SUOC221

The moment I saw the sketch, beautiful Promande was on my mind.

The colors I picked are from Mackenzie Makes, Color of the week.
Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana. Sh ealso had Pineapple Punch and Mango Melody on hers,but I didn't need that many colors.

This card can also be for a beginner, so i stepped it up with a couple of layers.

For the front panel I used Granny Apple Green on Flirty Flamingo Base

On the inside I used Coastal Cabana. 

Now that I am looking at the photo, I think my sentiment is crooked! LOL

Then I made another stepping it up with some Dies....

I really love the  Beautiful layers and Stitched Rectangles!!!

I put the little rectangles with the images on with Dimensionals

Thanks for looking!
