Sewing all put away. I had been sewing for over a year, and am pleased to know I have sewn about 49 quilts for the homeless veterans in the cold country. I cleaned up the craft room, stood aside and admired the scene and then promptly lunged into papers and supplies.Within seconds it appeared as though I had been making cards all along. I design cards now and then, with a creative hand and mind but these are my simply slam dunk styles. I fold the card stocks and pair up with envelopes ahead of time , and sometimes I add a cut of designer paper and die cuts. When that is done, making 200 cards is a slam dunk easy peasy process ... Here are just a few of the cards. Simple simple cards.
I love cards with the punch cut out window and then I can drape over the edges. Here are three of that style.
I have a tub of hundreds and hundreds of die cuts that I made. I sat for about 2 weeks and wandered through my Cricut cartridges, grabbing up cute die cuts to embellish, and of course a goal of using up some of the stacks and stashes of papers. And there they sat, for a year, waiting. Here you can see I grabbed up the cute bear die cut and made some Valentine/Love cards.
Anyone who knows me, knows I have a collection of stuffed frogs that a treasured client would give me over many years. Even after I retired, I would get a cute frog item. My first quilt that I REALLY labored over was my froggy quilt and I am proud to say I won a First Place Blue Ribbon for at the County Fair. Goes without saying, I LOVE creating a little frog card now and then.
More to come. I did mention I slam dunked about 200 cards, didn't I?
Have a nice day. Thanks for your visit.
