[WendyH]

😁 Ha ha! Lois, mine went in mail today too! I think we’ve all been stalking the mail! 📬 Looking forward to seeing all cards!  Wendy

[Blossom]

Me too Wendy! A beautiful card is better than any bill anytime…..the flower child 😃

I received a great card from Lois.  She used a word die that stays in the card.

i really like these kind of dies.  Thank you Lois!

[Blossom]

So glad you like it Sheila. Enjoy! …. The flower child

Got my card (awhile ago). Sorry Yankee for not posing right away. Your card is really clever, which is partly why I didn’t get this posted. I was trying to figure out the best way to represent. I think this looks ok. LMK if anyone needs more instructions. Love this.

This is how the card looks when you open your envelope.

 

This is the inside of the card. Love the message…and how Sheila stamped this low on the card, leaving lots of room to write a message.

 

Scan of the completed card and layers. The Scarecrow focus panel is attached so it started as a separate layer. Wonderful work Sheila!! OOXX

[Blossom]

Such a festive card Sheila and a different style of card. Nicely done! ….. the flower child

[DebRN]

Love both cards.  I also love the die cut and how it is placed on the card, Blossom.

Sheila, love the different design of your card as well.  This looks complicated but you make it look so easy!

Great cards, Ladies.  Stay safe and healthy, hugs, DebRN

I received this Gorgeous card from WendyH.  Wendy explained that she got inspired by a tray that came with some sushi that she had bought recently.  So, she took a picture of the tray and printed the pattern.  It has so much texture and I Love  it!  And, no, I am not tired of Asian cards.  Haha! Stay safe and healthy.  Thank you, hugs, DebRN

COTM: September 21

Username: WendyH

Title: Asian Soul

Keywords: Arrow card.  Stamp and Greeting: Close To Amy Heart

P.S. Maybe we should start a thread on where and how we get our inspirations on card making.  I know sometimes I draw a blank on new designs and layouts.  This might inspire Poshies to stir the creative juices.  Hugs, DebRN

This is the front of Wendy’s card:

[Blossom]

Beautiful card Wendy. We find inspiration in the strangest places. Nice work…. The flower child 😃

[WendyH]

My COTM arrived this morning. Well worth the wait! Thank you DebRN. It is titled “Copper Leaves” – Hugs, Wendy

Glad it arrived and you like it.  I appreciate your patience.  Stay healthy and safe, hugs, DebRN

[Blossom]

Very pretty card Debbie. Nicely done! 👏🏻❤️

[Yankee]

Great cards everyone!

[Blossom]

I just received my September COTM it’s completely demolished and I’m sorry for that so Judi if you have a picture of it please upload it….. thanks…..the flower child

[JudiKins]

OMGosh…Funny how the USPS can deliver bazillions of pieces of mail without mishap but when it comes to our hand-stamped creations…Hee hee. I’m not unhapy. Call me “arrogant” but making cards is fun so if some are destroyed by the USPS, I can always send another. 🙂

We have this Jeans stamp and I embossed the Henna Mandala on the pocket with Opaque White embossing powder. Colored over the white embossed image with permanent ink markers. My only regret was that I don’t know why I stamped the Henna Mandala over the edge of the pocket? Hindsight it may look better centered. So sorry it was mangled. I’ll have to make another for you! :O)

[WendyH]

Call me crazy or what…. but I like the offset Mandala! Nice card Judi!
