Continuation of Cards

Did you see this design/papers before?! I'm making duplicates because there are some ladies at work that are recovering from surgery and I wanted to have some cards made up for people to buy.
Instead of the three little flowers, I just did a larger flower and a small one. I attached the flowers with that 3-d tape. It gives a lot of dimension to the card.

I duplicated the papers, but not the design of this one. I wrote out a verse around the edges of this flower (John 14:27a) and think it gives it a little pizzaz.
This one is a design that I've been doing a lot of lately. I'm made it for a friend at church. There is organdy ribbon, a cutsy butterfly sticker, and an "a" for her first name.
This is another one for the stash at work. I wish I had more of those stickers to do this design over and over. But, there was only one flower with the sparklies (I added the sequin), one butterfly with those colors, and the chipboard letter color worked just perfectly (again only one!).
I only made one of this one as I had only one brown die cut flower. I attached both with the 3-d tape to make them stand out. The papers matched perfectly and I just wrote get well soon at the bottom of the card.
Hope you're getting your fill! I've got more cards to make for family with birthdays coming up. Keep on reading!

Get Well & Various Other Cards

The ribbon on this one says Happy Birthday so it was a subtle way to get the birthday wishes out. I used a variety of papers and the "k" is from a set of chipboard alphabet letters that I got on clearanced at JoAnn's.
Here's a flowerdy card that I made for a friend at church. I've had these die-cut flowers for forever and they fit pretty good for this paper.

I made up this simple card for a friend that I've been thinking about lately. It's neat how the greens are so similar. I used white organdy ribbon, but found that I had picked up some wired ribbon by mistake.

This is a birthday card for a co-worker. I used 4 different papers and that wired white organdy ribbon.

I missed getting a picture of the other card that I made with these same papers -- but it was a birthday card for my good friend from church. They both used these same papers and flower die cuts. I liked how the flowers popped out on this design.

I tried to make 2x the amount of cards by repeating the designs & papers. It helps to get a bunch of cards made and since they were going to various people, none are the wiser (except you who read my blog!). See the next post and match up the same ones!
