Using up things that I have fun making...


I love to create different things when I have the time to really experiment…  some times I don’t honestly feel like making a  whole card… but I feel like making flowers… or cutting with my BIG SHOT.. which is working GREAT now.. new parts and running super good… smooth as silk… 
 

 

 
 

 

So this is sort of card made from a few days worth of things that all started to pile up on my work table…  I had made a bunch of roses… using Tim’s Tattered Pine Cone Die… love that one… never made a pinecone… as I really don’t like the way that they look… but I LOVE the way the roses come out… LOVE IT…  I made about 4 dozen of them…
 
 
 
 
 
sometimes I will make some buds… I will tear the ‘rose’ shape in half… using the first part of the cut out and then using the later part… I hope you understand what I mean… if you have the die you should be able to know what I am talking about… this way I get two small buds from One CUT out FLOWER…  you can see one of the buds on the top right section of these flowers…  99% of my flowers are made from white card stock that I have painted using different inks, paints, etc… you see that is another thing that I love to do and that is to create a lot of papers ready to play with…  The leaves were cut out by hand using a sheet of paper that I had stenciled on… LOL… waste not want not…  a good motto… 

 

Then I had been playing with a Spellbinder die cut set that I hadn’t really ever cut out all the pieces too… so I cut out all the dies… from the largest to the smallest…  and used 3 of the 5 here…  I again used my newest little mini distress ink pads with a round blending tool… love the way they put the ink onto the paper…  nice and I am very able to control the flow of where I really want the ink to land… 
 
 

 

I also love to play with my Just Rite Stamps…  and so I had quite a few of them ready to go… some of them are my favorites..  this is one that was laying on my work table… and so I inked it up and used it for this card… I do have the Dies to cut these shapes out… but prefer to do it by hand…  ??? Just love being a cut up… LOL… 

 

Do you like to buy unique pads of paper… I do… strange aren’t we..???  anyway. .I have a BIN of 6x6 pads… and love to look thru them, and grab a background to use for a card or page in a scrapbook…  that is what happened here…  a 6x6 piece of paper was meant to be in the background here… 

 

Oh yes… and a Cherry Lynn Butterfly… which I love, but will not be using these dies anymore… read all about why in yesterdays blog… 

 

So after seeing all these things laying around in a bin ready to be used… I can make a card in less than 10 minutes… as everything is done… just have to play around with where you want things to go… and then find your glue stick…  hardest part… 

 

Thanks for listening and reading all my words…  I am a wordy person…  LOL… love sharing though and I hope you enjoy it too..  Have a GREAT day… and see you back here again  tomorrow…

Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie
