This beautiful, patterned paper I found at my local Thrift Store has been waiting for me to use it in a project. Today was the day to get it out. I had a hard time finding another complementing patterned paper, so instead I used an embossing folder to add a bit of detail to the grey paper I found that matched.

I love this sketch from 2021’s July Sheet Load of Cards. To see the sketch please use this link.

August Sheetload of Cards

There are times when what you planned out for a card just does not go as planned. For my plan for the August Sheetload of Cards I had the ephemera picked out. Fussy cut it. Had it ready to go. But the patterned paper ended up not being a good match. So, I had to pivot. This is what I came up with.

These cards are perfect for mailing as they are flat with little dimension. I love all the encouraging sentiments. These are perfect for all the times you may need to send a card to a friend. Hope you enjoy!

I have wanted to make a simple punch art card for some time. This little bee fits the bill. I made him orange and black because the Halloween season is coming. However, he was so adorable, until I smudged his face. I was so sad I did that. Anyway, I hope you try this one too.

Kendra's Card Challenge 15- All the Cards I Made

It’s time for another Kendra’s Card Challenge. This one is Challenge 15. If you want to check out the challenge, please head here.

Here are all the cards I made for Challenge 15. I opted out of doing Sketch 15 this time. It is a sketch I have used in the past and really wasn’t one I wanted to repeat. If you notice sketches 1-3 all come from 1 sheet of 6 x 6 patterned paper. I am obsessed with this since it is basically a one-sheet wonder. 😍

Affirmation Cards

I am super proud of these cards. I can’t really pinpoint why. They are super simple. They use stamps that a friend gifted to me. I used my Cricut to add the sentiments. But, yeah I am proud of these. They are super cute, and I love them. I hope someone will buy some of these cards from my shop, and send them to a girlie who looks like one of the images to let them know they are wonderful, special, all the things we all should hear every day about ourselves. I hope you like these cards as much as I do.

Scraps; Another Design

I don’t know about you but I have scraps that pile up after each and every project. Once that pile gets too high it is time to use those scraps. That is how this card came to be. It only uses a few scraps to help make a focal point for the card. For the image, I used a Dollar Tree Sticker. This would be a simple card design if you are new to cardmaking. I hope you get a chance to give it a try.
