Every weekend that I can remember having craft time
available for the past few months has been dedicated to Christmas craft. This
means my stores of non-Christmas cards are seriously down. Claire and I have
some more craft fairs this year so I wanted to get the stock back up to scratch
so I made some sets of cards that people could buy of the same layout in
different colors.
The headline card is a variation of a butterfly card that
Claire alerted me to on Pinterest. I have this great little butterfly punch
that my mom gave me and so I did a few versions using pastels, glitter and
darker butterflies. Love them.
Next is a variation of another post from Claire, this one from her blog. The technique to ink the patterned paper is really nice, it
gives it a lived-in look that I like. I used the same ink for the “Thinking of
You” stamp. I have added some glitter to the flowers since this photo was taken. Claire will like that I am all about the glittler glue now :)
Next I did a basic butterfly birthday card using some sweet
gingham papers. I love gingham. Maybe all of my cards will be gingham from now
on.
And then using my gingham paper scraps I made some basic
baby cards. Gingham in blue and pink does just look so baby-ish, doesn’t it?
And buttons. Who doesn’t love a button on a card? Not one of my followers I
should hope!
All in I made about 30 today, admittedly simple layouts but
I’m pleased that I have something to sell. I made another 3 sets of a secret
layout that I am giving away as gifts to readers of this blog so I won’t post
them here. Very productive day.
PS 52 projects and it's only October! Happy days - this is easily one of my best new years' resolutions and I have actually stuck with it. Here's to the next two months full of projects!
ooh really really really like these! Awesome and I am loving your use of glitter glue, I told you you'd love it...eventually :)
