cardsforsale_2015mar31

I have 3 Priority Mail flat rate padded envelopes left, each with at least 16 random cards for sale. There are varying themes, holidays, and manufacturers and most are finished on the inside as well. There will be an inner wrapper in an effort to minimize shifting during shipping.

Cost is $28 each plus $6 shipping—give-away price, but I need to get them out of here. PayPal only (no exceptions). Sorry, US addresses only (no exceptions)—I don’t have time to fill out customs forms, etc. at this price.

If you’re interested, email me at banders01 [at] embarqmail [dot] com and please note CARDS FOR SALE in the subject line. 

Thank you!!

Follow Your Heart–MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #222

MFTWSC222_2015apr1


Hi, everyone, I’m back again with this week’s MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT Challenge & Inspiration blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The MFT Challenge & Inspiration Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

I decided that circle needed to be a shaker box :) So, I started with a Berrylicious card stock base card. Next, I cut LJD Peek-a-Boo Circle Windows Die-namics in a Sweet Tooth card stock panel and created my shaker box with Heat Resistant Acetate, foam mounting tape, and more Sweet Tooth card stock for the back. I had a bunch of seed beads from some jewelry making so I added some of them and some matching sequins and closed ‘er up. Before I did all that, though, I stamped my sentiment, from DC Life’s Direction, with Black Licorice dye ink. After I popped the front up on the base, I stamped up some patterned paper using my fave, Plaid Builder Background and Berrylicious dye ink, Daffodil dye ink, Orange Zest dye ink, and Electric Red dye ink on Sweet Tooth card stock. I cut a couple of strips and added them, following the sketch. To continue my theme, I cut one of the arrows from MSTN Go With It Die-namics from silver glitter paper and four copies from Grout Gray card stock. I adhered them all together with a Quickie Glue Pen to add dimension and adhered them to the striped strips. To finish if off—and continue the sketch and theme, I added three hearts, cut from Electric Red card stock with Tag Builder Blueprints 3 Die-namics and popped them up on foam.

Another sentiment from DC Life’s Direction was stamped on the inside. I really love the sentiments in this set.

Hello Friend–CTD #336

CTD336_2015apr1


Hi, everyone, it’s time for another Color Throwdown! This week Wanda is our host and she has picked a palette of earthy colors for us to play with this week.


swatch 336

I started with a Primitive White card stock base card. I’ll admit it, I had trouble thinking of anything except fall leaves with this color combo but I tried really hard to not go there, LOL! So, I brought out Desert Bouquet and created my background paper with Brick Red dye ink, Daffodil dye ink, Orange Zest dye ink, Limelight dye ink, and Sour Apple dye ink. I added little trios of black dots with a fine point marker to tie it in with the other black elements. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of Black Licorice card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with clear detail embossing powder and added that and some strips of Primitive White card stock stamped with Black Licorice dye ink and Striped Backgrounds. The stamped panel was popped up on foam mounting tape. Next I cut a LJD Blissful Butterflies die from Daffodil card stock and stamped it with the coordinating image from LJD Blissful Butterflies and popped it up on foam. Under it is a LJD Scribbles Die-namics cut from Primitive White card stock stamped with Black Licorice dye ink and Fine Chevron Background. It looks like baker’s twine! And I love it!! To otherwise finish if off, I added some enamel dots.

Another sentiment from LJD Fall Foliage was stamped on the inside with Black Licorice dye ink,
