Working my way through my deck of cards….

Ever since taking Stephanie Ackerman's 

class

I have slowly been working my way through my deck of cards.

Halfway done now,

and each one I make is making me so happy.

These little cards go together so quick, 

and are perfect to tuck in cards or a friend's pocket as they walk out the door.

Here are the most recent 4 I have made...

Closeups.

Acrylic Paint, Tissue paper, book text,

stamping and more.

My words come from scrapbook stickers,

book text and even the 

selvage on scrapbooking paper

(the one below comes from a piece of Authentique paper)

Then translating what I have been doing on the playing cards onto

larger pieces such as Birthday cards for 2 special friends.

Almost the same techniques as above

but on card stock bases.

Ready to pop in the mail and hopefully brighten their day.

The hearts on the 2 cards from from an old Gelli Print

on deli paper.

So that's it.

It's a heart filled post today.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

52 Card Pickup…slowly working my way along.

With this being the last week of school,

we have been cramming in all sorts of end of year activities.

While fun, they are leaving little creative time.

It's okay though because I am still working my way through my deck of cards,

creating little pieces of art inspired by Stephanie Ackerman.

I love that they go together quick,

I can use whatever I am in the mood for,

and they are perfect things to work on when time is very limited.

Here are some closeups of the last 4 I have created.

Here is my pile of the ones I had already done mixed with my new ones.

I can't wait until I have a stack of 52 cards to share with you.

Off to 8th grade graduation,

and then it's officially summer vacation.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
