A few cards to add to the stash

 I made three cards last week.  This for me is amazingly productive!   You see, I always thought that I had to block out a couple of hours at a time for crafting and nowadays - elderly dogs, elderly DH, elderly crafter - this never seems to happen.  However, a couple of weeks ago, Covid caught up with us and while the blocks of time were there, fatigue made it impossible to craft for longer than a few minutes!  I learned to leave the mess on my desk and create in short bursts.  Well, duh!    Here are the cards I made to replenish my stash: -

Stamps - Hero Arts 

Inks - Uncharted Mariner, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet

Bling - Sunny Studio 

Stencil - Vicki Boudin

This card is easy and so versatile.  I write inside "Hope your (vacation/birthday/visit/day etc) is fintastic! "

Stamps - Hero Arts

Inks - Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Ground Espresso, Rusty Hinge, Wilted Violet

Stencil - Hero Arts

I did not like the stenciled background as it was just so overwhelming so I cut it up into smaller squares and now I think the card is too busy!  In the stash it goes!

I did enjoy stenciling these balloons despite the many, pieces of masking tape I had to use to keep the card panel free from stray bits of ink!

Stamp - Hero Arts

Inks - Candied Apple, Saltwater Taffy, Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade.

Stencil - Paper Rose

Bling - Sunny Studio

Well, let's see if the micro burst crafting streak continues!  Have a great week : )  Christine
