Faux postage wild flowers
stamps used: Waffle Flower postage collage wild flowersIt's that special time of year where we celebrate handmade cards in all their beauty - World Card Making Day 2024! This year, our favorite card making holiday is on October 5th. That is today!
I am enjoying making faux postage with all the Waffle Flower company dies, and stencils. This one is called Postage collage Wild Flowers.
Here is a close up of one of my cards. The postage die cuts out the card with all the blocks with holes to create the faux postage. Next you use the layering stencils to add flowers. I have some other postage images like cancellation lines that I haven't added to these cards, yet. I will before I mail them out to family or friends.Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon.

1. stamp image about 1 inch from the bottom of the card (4" x 5 1/4") panel with chosen color ink.
2. add strip of pattern paper (SU paper shown here) on the bottom of stamped card panel.
3. stamp saying (Altenew) image.
4. add (Altenew) enamel dots. These just happen to my favorite choice.
You can make up a set of these cards for little gifts.

Just a little longer....
As the title says just a little longer for my break from my blog. No worries I'm not stopping just continuing my break for another couple of weeks. My mojo has taken a hike so that is why I'm taking a break but I will NEVER completely give up stamping! Right now I am prepping cards for a crop I will be attending this weekend so after that I'm sure I will be back to posting once a week.
Thank you for understanding and sticking with me.
Taking a brake
Just wanted to do a little post to let you all know I haven't forgotten my blog. I just decided to take a brake from my blog for a few weeks ... BUT I will be back soon with new cards to share with you.
Thank you for being patient and understanding.
Thanks cards
A couple of Thanks cards just to have in my stash so I have them when needed.
stamps/supplies: Stampin' UpHere are a couple of cards of Thanks. Both cards use butterfly dies which my friend gave me. I added some color on some of the butterflies with ink pad, and blending brush. Stamped the Thanks on both cards at the bottom of card panel with black ink. Card panel on left was ripped then glued to a piece of DSP (designer series paper aka pattern paper) then layered onto black layer. Added the butterflies and self sticking gems. Card panel on left has some flowers stamped off the edge for some interest. The flowers were colored in with blending brush. Then butterfly on this card is doubled up.
Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon.
Little note of thanks
I don't do a lot of thank you cards but decided to make one to have on hand.
This cute bird is a stamp set with a punch. Didn't have my camera handy so I scanned this card. The only problem is you can't see the pop up ..... if you go to this post you will other cards with this pop up mechanism, and measurements.

Card swap cards
I am behind in showing my local card swap cards so here are a couple of them from a couple of months past.
The fruit card is what I call collage stamping, or some call it random stamping. I used old wood mounted stamps, so the companies are out of business now. It's good to go old school once in a while just to remember how I started in stamping.
stamps used: various stamp companiesThe cupcake card was done with a sketch design...I know I'm not one to use sketches, but sometimes you just have to go out of your comfort zone. Sketches are way out of my comfort zone.

These cards are fun!
Cut 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. Score at 1/2", 1", 1 1/2" on both ends of card. Cut to make multiple pop ups. Fold mechanism accordion style. In this case valley, mountain, and valley on both ends.
Thank you for stopping by. Come back soon.
