Happy birthday

This is another card I finished with the unfinished projects from my box for the Gray Matters Foundation

For this one I used happycalligraphy2stamp set by The Stamp of Life with mossy meadow ink and embellished with Nuvo Crystal Drops bottle green

Congrats

While I was looking on my unfinished projects so I could finish I box for my donation box for Gray Matters Foundation I found a bunch of card that were almost done just needed message guess when I put them together I set aside and never finish and then somehow put on the box instead of just adding a message anyway finally finished them.

Used big bold you set by Winnie & Walter with dew drop summer sky ink and embellished with liquid pearls dimensional pearlescent paint baby blue

Last one for now

One last one for now one sheet wonder for Gray Matters Foundation. for This one I made my front a little shorter than the back and glued a strip of glitter paper to the bottom where the opening is and the other on the tope so when you open the card there is a piece as well as in the front

Same messages as yesterday happy stamp & cut by HA with hybrid black licorice ink, computer generated word punched out with SU's classic label and border made with ruler

Thanks OSW

These cards were done for the Brain tumor foundation, another of my donation places. After I did these cards I had again some papers left and it was too pretty to waste so OSW style cards was my solution to use it all up

For these I used Honey Bee stamp set and Hero Arts with tuxedo black ink

For these I used Pink and Main also with tuxedo black ink

and last but not least for these Winnie & Walter set and Hero Arts set also with tuxedo black ink

You are amazing

A friend of mine told me about a new place to send cards to http://www.bringsmilestoseniors.com/, they have two offices one in MI and one in FL. They give cards to seniors in nursing homes and around the community if you like to check their web site and if you like to help them would be a good place to recycle the cards you get from mingles/swaps. Because my parents are seniors and I was taking care of Bret's aunt plus my friends are all seniors and now that I'm in that club even though I'm the youngest in the club I know the importance that a card makes when no one else is around. Anyway I will be showing some of the cards I sent on the box I sent them last month

When I made this I had some papers left so of course didn't want to waste them and decided to use them on the OSW style cards. I used the celebrate you sale-a-bration die set by SU, die cut a few of them and mounted them on top of each other for dimension then stamped part of a message from thanks stamp & cut set by Hero Arts with rich cocoa and punched them out with duet punch from SU which were mounted on foam

Shoebox Tuesday

I have been working on one sheet wonder for my donation box so for today's project I had a 6x6 one sheet wonder for my friends so pretty much they got to do more than one card this time as they got to pick one sheet of paper and depending on the OSW they picked, was the amount of cards they were making.
The cards I have been working on are with a 12x12 OSW which haven't finished all the cards...the cards are done but the messages aren't all done. I decided to use Michele Boyer's idea on how to make the cards so that was the same concept I used for these OSW. Obviously, these were just ideas on how to cut the 6x6 but they could cut their paper any way they wanted and if they wanted they could do something different on how to make the cards, this is what was working for me right now for my donation box. I also had several sets of messages for them to use in case they wanted to do their cards like mine

Full 6x6 sheet

cut, as suggested by Michele papers with no direction works best for OSW and it does if you don't want to worry on how you "need" to place your pieces as I have done papers that does have direction and you do have to pay attention how you place on card.

Christmas in July

These were part of last year's one sheet wonder pieces. I had cut several sheets of paper to make cards for my donation box and I didn't finish all the papers in part because my box got full and in part I got tired, yes surprised I got tired of Christmas cards LOL but I had done some many at once to finish a flat rate box that was just in a mood for something else. They all were like this

 

just using the different papers, for the paper on top and bottom I used holly swirls folder by Sizzix

for this one, I used snowflakes folder by Cuttlebug

and for this one, I used stylish stripes by SU
