Thanks Card Set

While I had a bunch of inks and the  What’s Your Type stamp set out making this scrapbook page the other night I decided to make a quick set of cards inspired by the color combo at The Paper Players since I was already using some of the same colors.

 Thanks Card Set

My Basic Gray ink pad needs to be replaced, so I substituted Smoky Slate for Basic Gray instead. :) I didn’t have a specific idea going in on placement of the images, I just wanted to play around and kind of like the end result and quirkiness of the design.

No embellishments and a one layer card made these super quick. These would be perfect to mail and mass produce!

Tomorrow I’m doing a super fun activity with some of my co-workers and I’ll be sure to try and take a few pictures to share next week!

Conversation Starters Card Set

I always have the best intentions to post and share more projects, yet life always has a way of catching up with me and foiling those intentions.

I have quite a few projects to share, it’s just finding the time to photograph and then blog…anyone with me? Crafting is the easy, and fun part. :) Regardless of those time variables I can’t wait to share some of the recent projects I’ve been working on! Gwynie is off with a friend and the boys are at football practice so while I’ve got a few extra minutes I’ll devote them to catching up! :)

This card set was published in the August Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine. I had another card in this issue that was also super fun to create, but I really loved this card set and and wanted to share it with you! You can still purchase this digital issue and see all the other great cards and projects featured in the magazine.

Conversation Card Set

Do you text? There is a whole section about word bubbles in this issue  and I instantly thought of making a card set that features the word bubble like your iPhone sends in a text message, and the messages that you might send on your iPhone! My favorite is probably the #awesome! card. Because hashtags are taking over the world. #truestory

Here’s how the card set looks in the magazine, it’s always so fun to see everything together!

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the letters and word bubbles. It was then just a matter of piecing them all together! These would make fun cards to give to friends or a quick note to kids. Or someone who is totally awesome. :)
