Random OOAK Cards

Following a tutorial, I made this... it'll be a "One of A Kind" or OOAK as I enter it in my spreadsheet.

Another OOAK... 

This was using "parts" from many other things like a random pink background that had no home, a foil piece from my foiling days and a foreign language piece from a Paper Pumpkin kit used as a squiggly accent.  How about that?!! It all works!

My goofy card for the
 ♪♫ green, green, the grass is green on the far side of the hill ♪♫ theme for March in CCME... another OOAK. 

This OOAK I put together on March 19th for a new member of Seongsook's Stampers who asked me about how to make a fabric card. I sent some fabric and some sticky back paper with an instruction sheet...
We had a coffee challenge the week of Zack's birthday in Seongsook's Stampers. This was my entry. I thought I'd be doing more of these but today (4-26-21) it doesn't seem to be on my radar. Therefore, it's a OOAK...

Stampin' Up Designer Paper

Last week, before heading to NC to take mom to her doctor, I cranked out seven of these using the Stampin' Up Designer Series paper that Wilda sent me last year. It's called "Peaceful Poppies". It's such pretty, pretty paper... :)

Following a tutorial by Jackie Bolhuis, where she made eleven cards, I only made seven. But, seven is a great start to send to peeps. I used some wicked old bling on the three I did in this style... YAY!

I LOVED this layout and it was wicked fast to do. I also loved how she put two twines together. 

The paper in this Designer Series is so, so pretty and with little effort, the cards are fabulous. It's fun to let the paper do all the work...

Tracy's Postcard Watercolor Class

I took a Facebook class with Tracy Weinzapfel called "5 Day Postcard Challenge" from January 11-15, 2021...  all the above were hand-drawn with a Sharpie, then water-colored. This class, which was way out of my comfort zone, had results that were far better than I could have imagined. Who knew I could draw? The only one I didn't finish was the top sunflower. Now, it's a month later and it's STILL unfinished... sigh!



The first one we did was this white one which I duplicated with the light purple below. Cut, mat, add sentiment and bling and bada bing... two cards completed.


This one blew my socks off! This is a duplicate of the one in the first photo. I added the Pink Fresh Studio matted sentiment and sent it to my mom for her birthday.

This one I struggled with but it still came out nice. I put heart decals over my painted hearts because I was very unhappy with them. Decals save angst... LOL
