Some Pinterest inspired cards

Some older cards I made with ideas I found on Pinterest. I like to try and copy cards I like using things I have. It's a fun challenge! My cards will the ones first pictured followed by the inspiration card.

It's been quite some time since I made this so it's hard to remember but I think I had made my own stencil for the waves.

 I did end up buying the raindrop stamp but at the time I didn't have it.

This one I had the same die. I don't recall if it's the reason I bought it. LOL

A mix of dies. The little animals are Cottage Cutz.

 

Lawn Fawn

Made this for a friend using a raccoon for a joke.

Winnie-the-Pooh letterpress cards

 I used the Artist Loft watercolor paper from Michaels with Betterpress plates. The cheap watercolor paper isn't great for doing actual watercolors but makes pretty decent letterpress paper. 

 

Ink blended cards

 I got the ideas/inspiration from Pinterest. The inspiration for the first card is below but I don't have any for the other 2 cards. 

 

 

Sunflowers - thinking of you

 This is a card I made for someone a couple years ago. It ended up arriving too late. :(  The sunflowers are symbolic of her childhood where she grew up.

I used some diecut washi from Pinkfresh. Inside I mixed them in with some pop up flowers I made from a tutorial on Pinterest.

 

  

All occasion cards

 Some cards I made quite a few years ago and finally finished up with sentiments. 

 

Valentine's (or thinking of you)

 Made these for Valentine's day. (again, didn't get the cards out this year)  Could be used for other occasions, too.  I used some stationery, hence the lines, and the large hearts are woven Danish hearts stuff with just a tiny bit of fluff.

 

 

A few House Mouse cards

 Made for a challenge with a water theme. 

 

 

Stretch your supplies

When is a bird feeder, not a bird feeder?  I soon as I saw this die ideas popped into my head!

I used parts from the Lawn Fawn build-a-bird feeder to create these cards.

 Boba tea! For the cup rim, I used my trimmer to cut a thin strip of cardstock and ran it through my paper crimper then flattened it out. The straw is just a strip of patterned paper.

 

An Easter bonnet! (or a sun hat) 

A lantern! For the bottom of the lantern, I trimmed down each side of the base of the bird feeder and shorted the bottom. I used the layered top piece and trimmed the top off at the detail line.

 

And UFOs!! I used the top layer both right side up and upside down! Add some glittery enamel dots. The second UFO had a 'glass' top cut with a small oval die out of vellum. I used the bird legs to make my little alien with a couple tiny googly eyes.

You rock

 Fun pun for a cute little stamp! Penny Black Mimi stamps are adorable and I have a fun little collection of them.

Breast cancer support card

 Made this for someone who was going through treatment for breast cancer. I used a metallic blue paper and the butterflies' wings pop up.

 

 

hello, Gorjuss!

 A couple of cards I had made with Santoro Gorjuss stamps. (sentiment from Stampendous)

 

Mother's Day pop-up card

 Here's another card I made some time ago but didn't get around to uploading. I got the tutorial on how to make the pop up flowers on Pinterest.

 

Just keep swimming...

I saw this porthole idea (probably on pinterest). I used a couple of circle dies to make them.

 

 

Cute Easter cards and mushrooms

Lawn Fawn stamps. I color with pencils and then blend with an alcohol marker in a matching color or lighter or just blender.

 

This card was made with embossing folders.

 

This cute card was also made with embossing folders (mushroom house seen and background grass/flowers). I stamped the bee, snail, and gnome and fussy-cut then mounted on pop dots.

Graduation and birthday cards

 It's been awhile since I made these cards but if I remember correctly they were based off a sketch in a challenge. The patterned background for the graduation card was created with a stamp and embossed. I hand cut the tassel and used gold number stickers for the grad year.

Classic Pooh notecards

Have a bee-utiful day...

 I made these cards from a pack of DIY wedding invitations I picked up on clearance some time ago. 

The side where the embossed honeycomb is has a couple of holes punched for tying ribbon and rather than trim it off, I used some scraps of the yellow paper saved from a previous card project. I fussy cut the little bee from one of my stamps and the 'bee-utiful' is from a diecut that I trimmed and cut a second 'e' from.

Southwest style cards

 I made these for a challenge and was inspired by the colors of the southwest and a silver and turquoise bracelet I have. On the bottom card, the starburst die reminded me very much of the bracelet.

More all-occasion cards

These can be turned from just thinking of you cards into birthday and other occasions by the sentiment that used inside.
