Good evening ... next set of lovelies

 I hope your day went well.  Enjoy this set of lovelies.

Altenew, Stampin Up, Gina K fans will recognize many of my flowers.  Thanks for stopping by, Susan

Post titles are tough

 I may be creative with my cards but I haven't given enough thought to post titles.  Perhaps when I'm back to posting as I create they will be easier.  So please overlook the mundane titles in the next several posts and just enjoy the pretty cards.

I'm grouping these as they show up in my file so forgive the "hodge podge" of styles.  Thanks for stopping by, Susan

I told you I'd get back to posting.

 Okay, I'll be honest.  I created several posts and coded them to upload twice a day until I get caught up.  Cheating you may say; efficient I say!

Before I get to the pictures, do you have Cicadas chirping (or whatever they do) in your area?  I don't see or hear them (unless the sounds I hear are them but they've stayed hidden).  From what I hear from others, I'm happy about that!

Here are today's cards.

As you go see, I'm loving the layered flowers.  Thanks for stopping by, Susan

I'm back ... hey, it's only been 6 months!

 I can't believe I haven't posted for 6 months.  I've been doing lots of creating.  My blogging revival is thanks to a friend who has started blogging.  I saw her post on Facebook and realized that I haven't been out here lately (ok, 6 months may not qualify as "lately" but I'm sticking to it).

I'm going to post what I've been working on ... so hang on.  I'm creating inventory for a store (online, of course) so I have lots of cards.  This is going to my retirement income.  If you are interested in purchasing any, let me know.  They are $5 each but I'm running a Grand Opening special (for a store that doesn't exist yet) of buy 4 cards and get the 5th free (plus shipping).  Each picture has a number on it and you can order by number.  I'll post 10 cards a day until they are all up there.

For those who have stumbled on this blog and you don't make cards ... the pictures are representative of what the cards look like.  Each card is made by hand so there will be some variation.  If you like a card but want a different sentiment (or no sentiment) let me know and I'll be happy to create one for you.  Each card has an envelope that is decorated to match the card (included in the picture).

Well...here goes.

You can reach out to me via email at SusieLouCreates@gmail.com.  Right now I can payment through paypal (I'll be expanding that eventually).

For those who are looking for the creative process - thanks for stopping by.  I'll get back to giving details on stamps, dies, techniques used when I get caught up.  But feel free to email me at SusieLouCreates@gmail.com if you have a comment or question about any product I used.  I'll do my best to answer.

After Christmas Creating

 I have been busy with getting ready for Christmas.  Everything I purchased this year was online.  Waiting for the mailman, UPS truck, or Fedex guy kept me on my toes.  With each purchase I added the item to a list so I didn't forget what I bought and I didn't forget that I was waiting for something.

It was a great day. I hope your Christmas was merry and bright.

Here are a few cards I created over the past few days.  The frame set is Pinkfresh Stitched Scallop rectangles, the background was made using Pinkfresh Simple Plaid layering stencils, the wreath is Pinkfresh Daisy Wreath layering stencils and die.

These are my first Pinkfresh products and I love them.  The layering stencils were so easy to use - much easier than stamps.  And I love, love the frames.  Each frame cuts 2 at once.  I used both the outside and inside frames in white and then layered one gold frame.  The words were die cut from Spellbinders Our Favorite Sentiment Set.  I love the thin lines of these words.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope 2021 is a much better year for you.

Flowers and foliage

 It took all day. But I got them all assembled - all 16 of them. 

Tomorrow I’ll need to replenish my inventory of layered flowers and foliage. 

Thanks for stopping by. Susan
