Using your photos in your card making

[stampin2much]

Has anyone used their pictures as part of their card making? I'm not talking about adding a photo to a card to showcase your family, but using your photos as part of the art of the card.

I'm really interested in seeing some other people's work. I got a bug to do this and wanting to see what else is out there.

I love doing that. Here are some I have made.

The wedding one is just a random photo from the internet. The other 2 are pictures of my nephew. The one with the hands is of my nephew and his grandma, taken by my niece when she was 7 years old.

I used some photos that were less than perfect (mainly of flowers) to cut letters out of. I used my Cricut and picked a "chunky" style letter. They make great titles on scrapbook pages and could be used as monograms on cards. Sorry I don't have any photos.

Hi, Michele -- I was looking into this topic last month. Here are a few more links to get you started.

Cards made with your own photos by Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

This photo card by Sabrina (Cook22) is one of my favorites: F4A18 Does Sorbet Count? by Cook22

Sorry I can't send you some of the sorbet, Judi .
@ Michele, I love using my photos on cards. I think many of them, certainly the better ones, are in the threads that Judi has linked to, so I won't list them again.

Thank you all so much! The links are great! The cards are amazing! I'm inspired

I used to do this all the time before I got really interested in stamping. Here are some of my older cards with photos:

I uploaded two cards I made into my gallery with photos I've taken

[Gramma Ann]

Has anyone used the photos as the background and then stamped directly on the photo?

I make photo cards with the photo that I have taken of flowers and nature. Now I want to embellish the photos with some stamping. Like using a stain glass large stamp over a photo to make a stain glass card.

Any information would be helpful. I have been checking the internet - but not found the correct works to find what I want.

You'll find some in Armadillo's gallery - here's one example: Galloping Cowboys by armadillo - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers.
You could PM her and ask for more info. Sorry not to give more here, I'm on a very slow connection.
