I've finally finished organizing the cards I've made. In many cases, I'm guessing at the dates, but I think I'm pretty close. This entry has cards I made in November-December 2008.
The only thing on this card from Stampin' Up is the black ink used in the stamp. And maybe the paper. I just don't remember. The daisy is two layers. I stamped it, then stamped again, colored, cut it out, and adhered to the card using dimensionals. This isn't too bad for an early attempt. I had to color the sentiment using regular markers. I'm surprised it looks as good as it does.
I vividly recall how difficult this was to make. All materials are from a Big Box Store. The flowers are punched out, and little brads are holding them to the big purple flower. It's a gate fold card, which I had a REALLY hard time with - didn't have my ScorPal to assist in the scoring and folding.
This plain little card was inspired by a card my friend Alice made. Her card had birthday presents on the DSP, but I couldn't find that. I thought candles would work almost as well. I was learning to layer. The Stamp is from SU - On Your Birthday - the first stamp set I bought, I think. Not sure about the paper.
Another plain card using mostly Big Box Store supplies. The stamp is from Stampin' Up (On Your Birthday).
