And my Cameo didn't even ask for a raise

Most I have gotten on a full page sticker label 12"x18", lots of flowers each cut.

 I love my Cameo, and my wide format printer.  After making this card (included in previous post) which I think is even prettier in person:


I decided I needed lots more of these bouquets and filled the sheet with smaller and medium sized flowers which are nice to include on envelopes and inside card, etc, so I created this huge print and cut and my Cameo just cut every bit out perfectly.

Oops another sticker sheet

When everything is going smoothly, I just want to get as many of these sticker sheets printed and cut ready to use.

Another card and another sticker sheet

Can't stop myself this new sticker sheet will be great for fall and Christmas too and I fill in sheet with dragonflies and hummingbirds which I can always use.

More cards made with stickers

I bought this bundle from hungry jpeg a while back  they say that bundle has ended but not sure if the link I have provided would work for purchase.  Anyway, their bundles are awesome and there is so much in them.  Buried way down in part 2, in a file called floral compositions, I spotted an image I particularly liked.  It is shown in this card.  The original image is beautiful, but I pumped up the gamma , maybe I should say down not up? In the software I slid lever to left to darken a bit, then adjusted the lighting a d contrast before tracing, printing and cutting, I love the way these look on white cardstock, I wrap the stickers over top of card so I get part of back decorated, as well as adding a few to inside, and, of course decorating the envelopes makes a birthday enjoyable the moment the mail arrives.

Here are a few more I made over the  weekend :

quick video on tracing images for print and cut stickers

The whole process of making and using these stickers would take many videos, and I apologize that the video above may not be perfect, did not have time for editing, etc, but there might be some info in it that could be useful.  In the video, I am showing how to trace the beautiful images in the HungryJpeg summer design bundle, in particular, the Vintage Garden images.  You get so much in these bundles for the $$, and best of all, you can use them in items you make without concern about copyright, I have sold a few of the cards I made using these images.  Anyway, for those who might want a little insight into the process I use in making these images into stickers, here is a quick, very rough presentation.  Perhaps I can continue showing additional information in the whole process, we will see.

Making cards using stickers

I have been having a ball making cards using great flowers and foliage, print and cut on full page labels, then arranging them "artfully" on cards.  They are turning out great.  You can see them here.
I love all of the images I have bought from Hungry JPEG, and most of the ones I have used are from here, and here.  Here are a few pics
