Cards - 2020 Round-Up

 I made a lot of cards this year, like I always do, just never really kept track of them. I do have a few pictures though. Finally got a proper set-up for taking better images. That was long overdue indeed.

Literally just a small selection, that I remembered to photograph, from 2020.

Art Impressions - who does not like a little hedgehog? And I do so like a card to can be displayed!




And cats cats cats... what else do you give a cat lover but lots of cats?
These stamps are by Penny Black. They are individual images that I piled together for the card front.



A gentle and sweet  bridge style Mother's Day card for our Daughter-In-Love using cut files from Lettering Delights, Mommy and Me (affiliate link!)



More Penny Black for Christmas tags...





And a layering stamp set by Hero Arts for a birthday card. Ink smooshing and an embossing folder for colour and texture on the background with assorted die-cuts to finish it off.




For another birthday I pulled out this old All Night Media wood block stamp of mine. Sometimes it is nice to revisit old 'friends' I've had for many years and that I have used for many cards over the years.




I decided to jazz it up a bit by making it into a shaker card and since I hand delivered it, I was able to make the 3 dimensional flowers out of tissue paper to add that something special to the card.



I like the way that turned out! I used a spray of alcohol ink for colour and a touch of gold for the edged of the petals.



I teamed the card with a gift of sugar hand soap scrubs for my gardening loving friend.



And that is a wrap for cards from 2020. Stay tuned for a post showing the recent card making spate.
