Card Inventory

Image
 Recently watched a video on YouTube from Inkhill Revival about starting a card inventory to figure out one's crafting style - which will help save money (or reallocate funds for other purchases) B-U-D-G-E-T is a 6-letter word! So, here goes!!! Here's a recent sample of newest cards I've made:

Stampin' UP! "Love Cats" Recent birthday card made with Stampin' UP! supplies: card stock (Memories and More), rainbow glitter banner/pennants, Love Cat stamp and sentiment punched from a Memories and More card. Full-panel shaker pieces are from Simon Says Stamp.

Lighthouse Birthday Card Fussy cut sea scape from Stampin' Up! High Life (retired) and sentiment from The Ton Stamps-Easy Expressions. Background paper and card stock (Pool Party) also from Stampin' Up!

 Birthday card with a "rocker" vibe. Out of shaving cream, so used foam soap and black Momento ink for the blended gray background on thin watercolor paper. Heat embossed silver splatters. Die cut star in SU's silver side of mercury glass acetate, stacked with CS in Pool Party and adhered with silver thread "wispies". Heat embossed sentiment from TheTonStamps ("Easy Expressions" stamp and die).

Berry Blessings

Snow and frigid temps is perfect weather for dreaming of berry season! This pair uses Stampin' UP! products - Thick WW panel dry embossed with Subtles TIEF adhered to Pool Party CS. Sentiment and DSP from SAB '21 "Berry Blessings". Accented with gold shimmer ribbon, rhinestones and Wink of Stella for extra pop.

Pet Sympathy Card

Never like to make a sympathy, let alone a pet sympathy card :(  Made this card using some current (Nine Lives) and retired Stampin' Up! product. Card base was from a retired watercolor kit. 2.5" circle punched from Blushing Bride CS. Cat stamped in Basic Gray on Whisper White CS and used cat punch. Colored enamel heart (retired) with Melon Mambo Blendable alcohol marker. Enamel bow, also retired. Gray/white twine (retired) and paper doily (also retired).

Ballerina card

My oldest great-niece loves to dance. Made this ballerina card using Stampin' Up! Work of Art (retired set), with some pinky-inks (Flirty Flamingo, Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride and Crushed Curry) and added sparkle to the dress with Wink of Stella. TFL!
