Card Kits from Etsy...

 

I could not have been more pleased with these kits I purchased through a gal on Etsy back in August. I enjoyed putting them together and I truly love all the detail...

This one was my favorite. You make four in each kit. I purchased two kits because I knew I'd love to send them out...

This seems a very "Spring" card so they'll sit for awhile before they go postal...

Such a lovely "relax" card...

Various Happy Mails Turned into Cards

 

I joined a Facebook group a year ago that is all about Happy Mail. The past couple days, I've turned some of the contents into these cards...

This was an old wall paper strip that I cut into the two panels. I cut each with a stitched die, added bling, a sentiment and mounted on Cherry Cobbler SU paper... 

I added some splatters to the card on the left and I feel like I ruined it. The card on the right, I'm not even sure what it was before I used the stitch die on it. The woman who gave it calls it a Hunky Dory. Whether that's the brand or the bird is unclear. To me, this looks like a Meadow Lark...

The card on the left might be my favorite. The background was from a woman in Canada who's been playing around with her inks and stamps. The BUTTERFLY has been floating around my desk for two years. I'm not even sure where he's from anymore. The card on the right is another panel from the same woman in Canada; stitch died, add bling and twine, a sentiment and mounted on teal...

This was my background from the "Partials Box" and the center piece from a Happy Mail. I'm not usually happy with One Of A Kind cards (OOAK). I like making three of each but, these are simple and will probably be sent in the same Happy Mail group from which they were received...
