Thank you card featuring a sanded collaged white core cardstock background, ribbon and a large layered font greeting

We spent almost a week camping up north with my sister and her husband.  They are long time campers and we are just newbies.  It was great to get a chance to visit around the camp fire after supper.  We all made our own food and ate together with social distancing.  I was there to pick blueberries so we spent two afternoons picking and I managed to get the two pails I needed for the winter.  I cleaned my berries and put them in the freezer in the trailer - so nice!!  I came home with a box of crabapples too!! It was our first time of camping together and I wanted her to know how great it was to be there with them.  I started with an envelope from my stash and made a green card to fit inside.  I created a pieced background from white core scraps which I embossed and sanded. Love how it turned out!!  I added a green ribbon across and tied on a little piece of pink gros grain.  I found the round greeting (1.75" punchie SU) and was lucky enough to find a scalloped circle (Nestibilities) in my stash that worked perfectly.  I used a push pin to pierce each scallop and sponged the greeting with green ink before layering them.  I mounted the greeting with 3D foam tape and added one little rhinestone to finish off my card.

Christmas cards featuring embossed backgrounds, a decorative paper strip and a watercoloured bird image with ribbon flags

 A couple more cards featuring a strip of decorative paper I trimmed off the 12" x 12" sheets I have been using in the last while to make Christmas cards.  I embossed green cardstock for my backgrounds using a snowflake embossing folder and mounted them to red card fronts.  I added the trimmed strips of little trees and then mounted my images using 3D foam tape.  These cute birds are by MelJens Designs.  After watercolouring the laser printed images I ran my pattern tracing wheel around the edges and added some ribbon flags.  Therese
