Hello! I have not been blogging much in the past 2 months but hope to get back in the routine of posting and visiting other blogs this month. I have started the year by trying to use up some of my stash and saved items to clean up my studio. I will share more of those projects later. I am always seeing useful items for cards in all paper goods including magazines, advertising, catalogs, napkins, cards etc. that I receive.
Today I am sharing several cards that I made for a package that I will be mailing to a Life Care Center. Since I was looking for some ideas for quick and easy Easter cards to create for the nursing home, I was inspired to use photos of flowers from a plant catalog ( I seem to receive one almost weekly). As I was about to throw the latest envelope with ads away, I thought how the photos would make lovely cards using some colorful card bases and simple sentiments. For the card bases I used Yellow, Pink, and Green textured cardstock from Bazzill that I found at Tuesday Morning. I trimmed the photos and attached to the card bases and then added Easter sentiments that I stamped with some Hero Arts and Gina K stamps. Used Black Versafine ink for stamping. The photos shown include about 31 of the 45 cards that I have made. I printed a verse for inside the cards on white cardstock and attached to the inside.
I thought this was a productive way to use something rather than just add to the trash. I hope the cards make someone smile and feel that they are remembered at Easter.
Looking forward to warmer weather.
Stay Safe and Healthy!
I love reading your comments.
