OH HAPPY DAY!

Thank you for coming by today!

 

This card is made with a piece of dsp measuring 12 x 5 1/2.  Score at 4" and 8".  Then cut at angle on the far right hand section.  Apply adhesive ONLY to the lower left  and bottom edge of the third panel.  Do NOT add adhesive to the top edge or it will limit the piece you insert to the pocket. (That's what I mistakenly did.  :(

I think this second card needs to have a little sentiment added.

 I had mentioned on a post about the papers I purchased from Echo Park.  These are a couple of the cards that I have made this year.  I have an old Stampin' UP! stamp set with a "bee" theme, so I pulled this cute little bee and stamped it inside each of the cards that I am making.

Three more Mother's Day cards.

I had a request for a few Mother's Day cards from a friend who has an organic farm.  She is having a special day where she will be selling flowers in unique containers.  She and her husband built a little "store" and she offers items from local vendors for the public to purchase.    I was honored when she asked me to make cards to sell there.  Her first date for the season is May 2 right before Mother's Day. 

They have bees and she sells honey eventually during the season so I purchased Echo Park papers that are "bee" oriented and made cards that she had last year.  I also gave her cards with strawberries and other fruit which she also sold.

The paper I used for these cards is from a pack I purchased on Amazon.

FINAL STORYBOOK FRIENDS (FOR NOW)

The first three pictures are of the same card.  It is a tri-fold.  I made this card over a month ago and I'm sorry I didn't make a note of the measurements.  It was a great say to use up three good sized pieces of coordinating dsp.

I will be moving on to other cards now.  There will probably be a series of cards using the "Pear" paper but I will try to throw in some other designs along the way including some retired papers that need some attention as well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGIA!

Georgia is one of the friends in the group of ladies who used to meet one a year in the Des Moines area. We had some great times sharing so many laughs and so may of our ideas.   Some of us (including Georgia) have remained in touch and Zoom every month to stay in touch.

I chose this card for Georgia because she does have a pear tree in her yard.
