Let’s use this thread to share our card creations through September! I hope everyone will continue to share. And that those who have not shared, might consider it <hint, hint>. I get a ton of inspiration from photos of other people's cards! I’m going to try harder to get back to this thread more often, I hope you will too. And PLEASE share…I love love love seeing what everyone is up to! If you need instructions on how to post photos here, there are EASY instructions here:
HOW TO POST PICTURES TO OUR BOARD
Made these the other day when I got the TE Pattern Party Create in Quads set (haven’t decided what to do with that last panel in the lower right). I LOVE IT, and hope to play more over the weekend! If you want any specifics; just ask.  grammadee would you pin (and un-pin the previous quarter’s thread) this when you have a moment? Thank you! |

I saw your post on FB!! Love those; so happy that you found that set.
I need to move my last post from the Q2 thread -- I realized it was actually July while I was out and about....

 Birthday card for a young niece. I am getting better at shaker cards, though I clearly still have work to do. |

Shakti, I'm glad you brought that over here, it is so pretty. Is it stamped, then die cut, then hand-colored? or...?

Thank you so much! It's one of HA's window die/layering stencil sets. I stenciled it as a panel not expecting to cut it, but then decided to when I needed a birthday card for a kid. Actually, MichyM, the butterflies are from the February MMH kit and some additional kits were just made available, both the classic and premium versions. |

Thanks so much azcrafty <3 The ice cream cone is an inexpensive SSS branded set. They have two styles and I bought them both. The cake was a recent GWP from Scrapbook dot com. It's made by Sizzix. I almost passed on it, but in hindsight am glad I didn't. It makes several different cakes, each with a different look. |

In the same vein as the image I shared upthread, here are a few other cards I've made with the TE Pattern Part Quad. Man, I love this set and will use it for a good, long time. These will go out to some of the summer card exchange Peas. The ice cream and milkshake dies were the "cabin gift" for Pink Lemonade campers at the recent C+9th event.  Anyone else feel up to sharing what they've been creating? |

With the exception of the birthday card, everything I've completed lately has been C&CD or C&9th Summer Camp class cards, shared in the event threads.

Because I cannot send photos in a private message, I’ll post this here because I promised I’d share what i came up with w pinklady. This is a die set that I coveted from the first time I saw it, it was part of C+9th color event over the winter. PL was kind enough to send me some plain white die cuts of it to play with. I finally decided what to do with them the other day.  A friend from my local card-making group started a C+9th BST group on FB, so soon I’ll have this set and the coordinating dies for my very own self. It’s gonna get a ton of use. If anyone else has used this set, I’d love to see what you’ve come up with, I’ll need loads of inspiration! Thank you so much PinkLady! |

Adorable butterfly card Shakti. Love that you used some butterflies on the envelope too. Your niece will love it. Beautiful MichyM. What I found with event exclusive products that there is very limited projects out there for inspiration. I joined the group on FB hopefully sometimes someone gets tired of the terrarium dies 🤣 i might put an iso out. |

I am torn on that one. I don't love fiddly pieces. But my kid just graduated from tech HS in horticulture shop and is going to an agriculture program for college, so I think I need these plant-y things. And I really do love the two cards we made in class.

I have soooo many halfway completed cards on my desk but these are a couple of finished cards using dies I've been playing with. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the triangle background. I would like to be able to change the orientation of the triangles. I'm going to try the pinwheel quilt die next.  The colors on the big hello card are totally copied from Michys quad card.   |

I like what you did with the triangles! I keep debating if I need this set or not. I have several of the others that are similar. Do I really need another?!? Great job on the colors for the hexagon card! I actually took the color inspiration from this image: pin.it/wkDpKvsAlso, I have a folder on Pinterest that is just color combos for inspiration. If anyone is interested in taking a peek, it is here: pin.it/7mkXxpQ |

 Sketch from a Stamping' Up virtual event; SU papers & card stock. Stamps/die cut from C&9th, colored with watercolor pencil while watching the event, since it wasn't designed to really be a stamp-along. |

A frustrating morning trying to make a card. As I've said before, I'm not a card designer, LOL. I need directions to follow! Between the washi tape that I used to hold down the mask tearing my kraft paper, to the not straight trimming I did instead of using the die, to the ink smearing because it wasn't dry.... SIGH. Then after I get it all put together, I feel it's JUST A LITTLE CROOKED. Grrr... Here's the result. It ain't bad, but I'm not showing you how the other one came out.   |

Oh, I LOVE it! I have not understood all the jonesing for the chicken set over on FB, but now I do a little. I love your color scheme and the combination of the chickens with the postage.

A friend came over this past weekend and brought a couple of her TE stencils. I took advantage and made these cards.   |

Stressed out on myriad ways and having trouble focusing on work, so I made a quick card for a colleague having a housewarming party Friday. Like you do.  Used a SU kit card base. |
