Using Up My Stash #2

Here are 4 more cards using up my stash from the card kit binder.  They all feature handmade focals, though this first one starts with a Hunkydory Focal on the card front ("Cute & Cuddly" Whopper Topper).  Papers were from a card maker's personal shopper (HOTP).  I stamped the sentiment on a couple of tabs that were fussy cut from the personal shopper set - using Stampendous silver embossing powder & stamps from "Leaves" Small Stamps (HOTP) & "Thanks for Everything" (Divinity Designs)

For the inside, I stamped an image using stamps my mom had (from a magazine?), colored it with markers & a water brush, and fussy cut it out.

Next up is an aniversary card.  It features a pair of bears - stamped from the same set as that bunny rabbit (previous card) & colored the same way.  It adds a stamped sentiment (Wedding - Inkadinkadoo), a border from an old scrapbook kit (outlined with a pen), and gold border stickers.  Papers are from another HOTP card makers personal shopper set.

The inside uses papers/stickers as for the front.

These last two cards both use many of the same elements - focal stamp from "Janie's Girls", border stamps from "Matching Borders & Focals" and inside sentiments from "Birthday Cheer" - all HOTP stamp sets.  The focals are all colored with markers, water color pencils, and a water brush.  AND they both use up some card stock scraps from my stash.

For this first one, the focal has been cut using a "Fleur De Lis Rectangles" die from Spellbinders, along with an "Elite" M-Bossabilities folder from them.

The inside using the same M-Bossabilities folder.

The focal for this one was cut with a "Decorative Labels Eight" die (Spellbinders) and the yellow mat was cut with a "Journey Rectangles" die (Fun Stamper's Journey).  The sentiment is from an old scrapbooking kit.

The border sentiment was heat embossed with white powder.
