Tons of cards for Tricia

I just sent about 60 cards to my sister in law. She likes to buy my cards to have them on hand for the people she works with. I just sent her a package with this assortment. I sent 6 to 12 of each of these cards. I have to keep them simple in order to produce so many.

Girly Birthday using retired SU DSP, Groovy Guava & Purely Pomegranate card stock. I used a Sissix die for the flower and regular circle punches for the center.

This is from the same retired SU DSP.

Little Bitty Autumn Thank You Notes

I am still making thank you notes for my sister in law. She said she wanted all shapes and sizes, so I made up these little 3x3's using the retired Love Notes from the 2006 Holiday Mini that were available in True Thyme, Cranberry Crisp and Vintage Violet.

These were easy peasy.... I just ran the front of the card through the Cuttlebug using the Textile embossing folder and adhered the More Mustard maple leaf. Ta-Da, I was done! The sentiment on the leaf was computer generated, I punched out the leaves using an ancient EK Success punch that I have had forever and used sponge daubers and various Earth Element colors to add some dimension.

Bunch of One Sheet Wonders

My sister in law asked me to make a BUNCH of thank you notes for her. I decided the one sheet wonder technique would be the fastest way to make alot of cards quickly. She wanted simple, tailored cards in earth tones, (she likes brown, blue and green) so I mostly used papers with those colors. All the designer papers I used were 12x12, typically each sheet yeilded enough to make 6 to 8 cards. I didn't use a pattern, just cut the dsp into blocks and started layering. The sentiment was computer generated. I used a circle label Avery template in Word but just printed on card stock.


Here's a sample of each of the sets I made for her. No stamping involved, just paper & punches-- easy peasy!



This last set is my favorite... I made 8 cards with this paper. The circles were dry embossed, I almost don't want to give her these...lol. The paper is from the Nana's Kids glitter stack by DCWV. (Available at JoAnn & Hobby Lobby)
