More cards to share

I made these cards last month but because of my month-long process of purging, cleaning, repurposing and reorganizing my art room I didn't get them posted here to share with you.

The first card features a Sizzix Pop 'N Cuts die and Tim's sentiment on the front.

 Saw a similar card on Pinterest and thought my 1 year old friend would like this.  The dots were punched separately and I shaded the lower left hand edge before adhering them to the Lego pieces so they were more dimensional.

 The stamp set is from Stampin' Up; I don't remember the maker of the sentiment but I love the font.

This is another Stampin' Up set and watercolored with distress inks.  While cleaning off a shelf I found a boatload of eyelets...a perfect addition to this card.










I've decided to start using some of my older stamp sets and ideas.   Pundits say that fads keep returning so maybe some of these ideas will inspire you to do the same.  I love new stamps as much as the next person but I have so many others that should be used more frequently.  It may mean a change in art direction but that's okay.  And maybe some of them will work just swell with the newer stamps in my collection.

I really wish that when you posted to your blog it didn't change in the preview screen.  So much for formatting.  Sigh.
