OMG! Aren't these the cutest! I never keep anything I make, but am always glad to see what others create. Thanks for sharing these...
Thanks Lercy,
I don't keep my cards either, but I've been taking a photo before I send them, in case I want to make a similar project again at some point. I used to participate in ATC swaps and make, and send out up to 10 of the same design. In a couple of cases, I didn't keep a copy of my own and then I had no idea how to use the stamp set years later! I Usually combine multiple sets of stamps and dies together, and the ATCs were made with random unmounted rubber stamps that built up backgrounds, added images and sentiments etc. I wished I had kept a copy of each one, so I didn't have to start from scratch 15 years later.
I always love seeing what someone else does with something that I have used and can pass on, so thought it might be fun.

So glad you figured it out. Once you make one, the rest are a piece of cake, and this particular die can be used for any and all occasions -- and will never get old. Your card is very sweet. I need to expand my circle of friends to include the Irish so I can make such cards. Green being my favorite color makes me feel I'm missing out.
Haha, I do actually know one person is is originally from Ireland but this went to my sister who can't even dance a jig! I don't make many St. Patrick's day cards, but I did make quite a few this year to send out to people who might or might not even celebrate the holiday. I just had lots of green paper, some cute stamps that I hadn't used, and was in the mood. My other cards were not interactive...they were just regular designs. Oh, but lots of green!
I have a tendency to get into a rut with my card designs , so having something new and a little bit challenging is good for me. 3-D projects, and fancy folds or interactive cards are tough enough to make my stretch and keep my brain active, but not so difficult that I give up.
Now if I can just keep on track to start learning new techniques and improving the ones I already have, that will be next on the agenda.

Your cards are wonderful Karen! So glad you shared them! I enjoyed looking at them. Of course, my favorite is the kitty card!
I updated the explanation of a PIF and included it on the original beginning post for this thread, so new people to our thread can see it.
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend! It was beautiful here today!
Thanks Arlene,
I just wanted to show that I've been using and enjoying all the PIFs that I've received. These were just a few projects and I have also used embellishments, ink pads and markers, other stamps and dies, papers...and everything else. Thanks again to all the generous crafters who are passing it on!

Hi Chris,
Glad you updated the explanation of how this thread works for those who are new, or unsure of them. I know that similar groups work differently, and/or the same, so it's always helpful to confirm our understanding.
I got your PIF today, by the way, and will have fun with that word bubble set. Thanks also for the coffee card, which is just adorable. I love the colors you used with the pink and brown combo.
Karen
Well, I did it again. I bought the same stamp set twice. Using Evernote was supposed to stop this from happening. I guess it's what happens, though when you are only partway through cataloging your supplies and order something new.
I am offering up the stamp set, "Dog Years" by Clearly Besotted. It doesn't pay for me to ship is back as it in from England and I don't want to pay postage to ship overseas. You can look at the set here: Dog YearsArlene_C is the proud new owner of this set.
First one to PM me is the lucky owner of a new stamp set.
P.S. I will be adding some embossing folders soon.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that happened. I've come close to buying the same stamp set or die set but have always (so far, anyway) realized it before I bought it. I don't have a list of my supplies, but have everything organized fairly well at this point, so I end up going through my stash to double check. Must work, because I don't think I've ever ended up with duplicates. Oh, whoops...I take it back. I did once buy a Spellbinders nested die set that I already had, because it was given to me as a gift several years before. I ended up passing it on to an online crafter that I chat with, so it all worked out.
Cute pups though, so I can see why you bought it again!
Karen

I have a red rubber stamp set to give away. It is from Taylored Expressions and was a gift from an order. I stamped it once, but that is probably all.

Reason: updating
I'm not able to open this image to get a closer look, and not sure if it's my computer or not? Is the image of a coffee cup? Thanks.
Karen
It opens on my computer as well as my IPad. It is a circle, almost 1 1/2 inch in diameter. These work well for an envelope or the back of your card. It says Thank You with a flower in the middle.

Hi, there! Today I am offering some more stamps. I loved using the smaller stamps when creating quick notecards, but I now find they have become a distraction from the watercoloring I am trying to focus on. PM me if anything interests you and I will pick up the postage. Thank you...

Not requesting it, but just had to say that I wish I could do that beautiful Mochi Plant Girl stamp justice because it's so appealing. My coloring skills are no where near what they could be, but there's always hope they improve with practice, right?
Good luck with your water coloring technique. I was terrible with water colors in high school and college, and never got the hang of keeping it light and translucent.
Karen
Lercy, you inspired me. I have these Unity stamps to offer. I believe they were once "stamp of the month" from Unity. Hence, with subscriptions one often receives items that are not one's style. I hope these find a happy home.

It's all about practice, practice, practice. Some of my best coloring was done with hours of effort put into the image. I can make small and medium images look good with markers and/or pencils. Watercolor is different -- definitely more challenging and seems to require larger images. I have seen so many styles of watercoloring, that it's removed a lot of the stress of having it look any one particular way. I think it was Michele Webber who said something about admiring and learning from the work of others but, as you practice, your style will begin to surface, and that you should not try to suppress it, but see where it takes you. That really stuck with me.

I sent you a PM as I would love the Wishing You Joy poppy stamps.
I have a Northwoods stamp to offer. I can't post a link as I don't know the name of the stamp and can't find it online. I will happily post a picture but I am not sure how to do that without it being HUGE. Any suggestions?
Also, I would love to play here but most things I may have to offer will be old. Does that matter?
If you have Paint on your computer, you can right click over the pic you want to resize, click Open In Paint and there is an option to resize it in paint.
It doesn't matter how old what you have to offer is. Some of the most loved stuff is sometimes older. I know for myself; I just like what I like, and I don't care if it is newer or older or trending or not. Hope you get to participate and enjoy in the fun!

Basically you take a photo of your product and post it. Old works like new. If someone is interested, they will let you know. Feel free to jump in anytime.

I also want to assure you that the age and style of the item doesn't matter at all. It doesn't even have to be just stamps and dies. Any paper crafting supply is fine, as I understand it. Some of us offer up paper or embellishments, eyelets,, buttons, etc. Whatever you have that you would like to pass on to someone else because you don't use it anymore. It's a great way to clear our stash that is piling up in your craft area and getting in the way. If you scroll some of the older posts here, you'll see things that are are over 10 years old listed! Many (most) have been used.
Lercy happens to be unique in that she lists multiple items, most in packaging ...but others have listed just one small, used stamp. It's all greatly appreciated, and we have fun...which is what counts!
Hope you can figure out how to post your stamp. It took me a long time, and the help of other forum members to figure out how to upload, and then attach a photo.
Karen
It doesn't matter. It could be just something someone has been looking for for quite some time. You never know!
Although, in my case, it's usually a matter of not knowing I've been looking for it until I suddenly see it. Kind of like love at first sight! Haha!
Karen
Well, it didn't come through HUGE because the picture didn't come through at all! I will keep trying. I am sure I've been able to post pictures before. Not sure why I am having so much trouble with this now.
I can't be the only one who has enjoyed the Lavinia stamps for some time, so I'm adding some of the fairy stamps to the selection because I have way more than I need. Still keeping more than I need, but it's important to wean slowly from some themes.. PM me if any interest you and I will pick up the postage. Thank you...

I had a lot of trouble when I started posting photos too, because you have to use the advanced option to use the paper clip. Did you try that? Apparently, it used to be a one-step process to post a photo and now it's a two step.
