Hello, folks! It's been a heck of a spring -- baby showers, church projects, school projects, work projects, a wedding, and even a kid who suddenly needed her tonsils out -- and one of the things that I couldn't squeeze in was posting on my blog. Phew! But I do have a bunch of fun projects to show you, so hopefully I'll be able to get them posted soon.
I want to start out with the last few months' of cards I've done for the marvelous
Apron Stings Designs All-Year Cheer card kit club. These first cards are from the March kit:
 |
| Don't you just love a little pinwheel? I especially love to make them with double-sided paper -- it's so much cuter! |
And these are from April:
 |
| The kits always come with great embellishments that make things so much easier -- this lovely card took me a grand total of five minutes. I just cut the card base and the grey scalloped-patterned paper, then stuck the frame over the top. Added the frame stickers and the butterfly stickers, and I was done. Yay! |
 |
| This one is for my hubby, to celebrate a trip we're going on this summer. I used the fabulous map paper as a base and added the red brads in all the places we're going. |
And here is the latest batch from May:
 |
| I did the background of this one with cute stamps from Maya Road and ties from the Cricut Mini Monsters cartridge. Festive but still masculine, right? :) |
 |
| Love these little kraft envelopes -- perfect for a gift card. The cuts on this one are from the New Arrival cartridge. |
 |
| Now I just need someone to get married! |
 |
| I used this pretty scalloped crepe paper trim from Maya Road for this cute summer card, pleating it as I went along. Turned out so cute and summery! |
 |
| Love the bookshelf paper from Basic Grey -- perfect for a teacher appreciation card. |
 |
| This one's a little mini-tag that would be perfect for a new neighbor. |
Each kit has so many fun embellishments and really great papers, and Lori (the owner) makes a great newsletter every month with instructions for all the example cards. Check out
the kit club for all the info!
