I'm having some computer issues that aren't allowing me to add pictures, so I'll be taking a break from blogging until I can get it figured out. It's hard to share projects with you without pictures!

USE IT UP Wanted To Say Fancy Flora
Once I had used up what I had for "background layers" in my pieces and parts, it was time to go through some Designer Series Paper and see what I could make work. I had this die cut piece from Framed Florets Dies (retired) in Night Of Navy, so I found a piece of Fancy Flora (retired) that it would go with. Did you see the little birds towards the bottom? I don't remember which die they are from, but they were already cut and waiting to be used, too!
Colors: Calypso Coral, Night Of Navy, Pool Party
The Adhesive Sheets are a must for these small dies! They make it so much easier to attach than trying to use even liquid glue. Just peel the backing off one side, attach to your cardstock, and run it through with a die like normal. Then you just peel off the backing off and it's like a sticker!

USE IT UP Sending Love Framed Florets
Today's card combines old and new- really new to me since this was the first time I've used this stamp set! It started with the Blushing Bride (retired) layer that I had already die-cut with Framed Florets Dies (retired) to get the oval-shaped hearts.
Colors: Basic Black, Basic White, Crumb Cake, Pretty In Pink, Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Smoky Slate
I cut the greeting apart and added a retired red dot. It's not Real Red, but it looks OK.

USE IT UP One Of A Kind Whimsical Woodland Twinkling Lights
This card was made with several things I found in my pieces and parts! It started with the blue layer that was embossed with the Whimsical Woodland Embossing Folder (retired), the die cut snowflake from Twinkling Lights Dies (retired), and a piece of Galvanized Metallic Specialty Paper (retired). Some sequins from a past Paper Pumpkin kit finished it off.
Colors: Basic White, Balmy Blue, Boho Blue
The One Of A Kind stamp set and dies are on the Last Chance List- get them before they're gone!

USE IT UP Joy To You Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder
Last week I shared some Paper Pumpkin cards I made. I started with a kit that made 9 cards and ended up with 18 cards by cutting the printed card bases in half. I made 9 of the cards using the supplies from the kit, which left me with 9 more cards to make how I wanted. I started going through my pieces and parts that I've cut and/or stamped for other projects but ended up not using. I found what I needed to make the extra 9 cards, and ended up making more cards with some of the other pieces I found!
I had three of these Garden Green pieces die-cut with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (retired). I decided they needed to be Christmas cards, so I dug out my Joy To You stamp set (retired). This greeting fit perfectly! Then I added some Cherry Cobbler Berries.
Colors: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Soft Sea Foam

BONUS Cards From The March 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit Memorable Meadow
Yesterday I shared the cards I made using the Paper Pumpkin kit from March 2024, "Memorable Meadows". It came with printed card bases that had the design on the front and back of the card. I decided to cut them all in half, so I ended up with 18 printed layers that I attached to Gorgeous Grape card bases. I made 9 of the cards using the supplies from the kit, which left me with 9 more cards to make how I wanted. I started going through my pieces and parts that I've cut and/or stamped for other projects but ended up not using. I found all the pieces that I had cut from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder when I tried it for the first time. Here's what they look like:
The hybrid embossing folder comes with the usual plastic embossing folder, but also a steel die that is designed to use in the folder or on it's own.
I ran it through with a piece of Basic White cardstock - this is what it looks like after running it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.
Here are the individual pieces still in the folder after taking the background piece out. When I decided to use these on my cards, I put them back in the folder and added Balmy Blue ink to the other side of the folder and ran it through again. This gives the pieces some color and makes them easier to read!
I used a sponge dauber to add more ink to this one
The celebrate one moved in the folder and got messed up, but I found this piece already stamped in my stash and used it instead!
Aren't they cool? I really liked how they came out. And going through my pieces and parts gave me lots of inspiration to make more cards! In addition to these 18, I also made 15 more! Not all during the time it took the foot peel obviously, but working off and on for a couple of days. And I've got ideas for more! I'll be sharing them all soon.
Colors: Basic White, Balmy Blue, Gorgeous Grape
