What I did and did not get done

Over the weekends I am trying to make cards using my leftovers and stash.  This weekend I didn't even open the bins!  What I did get done were two set of 60 cards for my church. While I made 120 card I have very little from it to go into the scrap bin.  3 4x4 squares and 10 4x6 squares to be exact!

Here's what I made on Saturday:

This batch of 60 took about 3 hours and were a lot of fun to make!

 

The next set is a batch of anniversary cards: Inside

 

 

These are very simple 2 layers on a 5x7 card base, I used this stack for the background layer:

 

I picked it up at Hobby Lobby with a 50% coupon.  I picked a light weight paper for this project in an effort to make sure the postage stays under 1 ounce. Plus I was looking for that distressed vintage look - this helped make these cards very fast to work up about another 3 hours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Strathmore 110# paper gave these cards a very elegant look and feel. The card will be mailed in a winter white gold foil lined envelope.

 

Steve is working on my kitchen rehab and it is looking wonderful!

 Another busy day here, I hope you have a good one and thank you for stopping by to share the day!
