Caring Thoughts/Snippets

 Some snippet  cards:

 

I was running low on cards for special requests for cancer patients having

an especially rough time (through Chemo Angels)  and I found this set

of colored note cards and decided they would be bright and cheery for

this purpose.  

 

I pulled out 6x6 paper pads that are almost used up

and grabbed snippets from them to match.  I then got scraps from

my shimmer zip lock bag and die cut the ivory and white lacy pieces

with a die from Spellbinders and stamped it with a sentiment from

the same set.  I then went through my white and scraps, and then my

colored scraps to finish the remaining cards.  

 

Every January I try to use up more from my room.  I really need to clear out 

and donate quite a bit. I do have one large pile of papers to donate 

and hopefully more to follow.

Happy Birthday

 My husbands birthday card. Nothing super fancy.  We both love the

water, boating and all things nautical so I pulled out a new paper pack

 Sea & Shore by Hackney & Co.  I cut this MFT Happy Birthday die

6 times and glued them together putting an acetate circle below the top

layer.  Silver and iridescent sequins inside.  I had never made him a

shaker card before.  He was very happy with his card and the day

we spent celebrating.

fun folds and this one did not disappoint.

Happy Birthday

 

I bought several cute My Favorite Things stamp sets recently.  Above is 

Celebrating You.  This weekend I stamped

up several of each stamp set and had fun coloring them and today 

started putting them together.  I always have trouble making cards

for the little ones in my life so I thought I would get an early

start on them this year. If you look close you can tell I used

MFT's Splatter Background on the base of my card, using Versa Mark

ink.  Images colored with Copic markers.
