Mini Card Sets

Hello... I'm dusting away the cobwebs on my blog and sharing three mini card sets I made for James's Class staff at the end of term... we are already two weeks into the holidays so I thought I best get a wiggle on before the photos get lost on the computer!!!

I always find end of term gifts a challenge, I like to give something useful so a mini card set seemed ideal and all neatly packaged in handmade boxes too. I've made collages to try and keep this blog post from being too photo heavy... this first set uses Paper Smooches stamps...

I really enjoyed just playing with shapes and inks... the 'Wisteria type' flower in the bottom left square is my personal fave :0) 

This set uses mostly die-cuts and a simple repeating layout... the leaves are my fave in this set. They are cut from watercolour card and then I had fun getting messy with distress inks and water!!

I went completely different again with this set, using a 'new to me' SU set called Simply Soft, I went with pretty summer colours and again, a repeating layout.

The boxes were easy to make on my scoring board, I have the SU version and find it the most easy to work with for this kind of project. I'm assuming they made it to school without looking too crumpled and dog-eared ... they were gratefully received anyhow so we'll go with that conclusion :0)

Oakie dokie... hopefully not so long until my next blog post, its the school holidays so what little routine I had has gone out of the window completely!! I also just wanted to draw your attention to the Sale section over at Make the Day Special... lots of different stamp companies in the mix so something for everyone, just don't blame me for encouraging you to spend though *wink* :0)
