Birthday Wishes

 I made this card with dies.  The background is an alcohol ink creation.  The red piece is cut with a Hero Arts die.  The sentiment die is by Simon Says Stamp.  I cut the gold vellum circle with a Karen Burniston crosshatch circle die.

Old supplies can still be used

 While I was looking through old supplies, I found these wood papers and parchment. I used an old original Sizzix die called Parchment. I cut out the parchment with this die and stamped the sentiment with an old Stampendous wood mounted stamp dated 1998. I then distressed the parchment with an ink pad. Then, I attached it to the wood paper with brads and mounted both to a card base.

Using old supplies

 Some of my friends were chatting about fads and supplies we have that haven't been used recently.  I decided to pull out some supplies and make a card using them.  This is the result.

I started with handmade paper (I didn't make it, but bought something labeled handmade paper).  I wet the edges and tore the paper into a rectangle.  I cut out a tag with an old Spellbinders die and stamped the sentiment and embossed it with gold embossing powder.  Next, I attached the tag to the handmade paper with brads.  I glued the paper to a white card base.  It still needed something, so I punched some flowers to add to it.  Try making a card with those old supplies.
