Quick & Easy

 I made up twelve cards this week, ready to donate to a local charity!  I am using up papers that I've had on hand for years, to make some cards with a positive message.  I did variations on these four:

A Reason to Party

Trying to kickstart my absent mojo today!  And a little ink blending usually does the trick.  A fun slimline card is the result:

I used the Floral Swirl stencil from Creative Expressions, with Distress Oxide inks in: Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Broken China and cut it out with my Diagonal Slimline die from Pinkfresh Studio.

From the newest Say It With Stamps collection from Photoplay, I've used their Party die & stamp set.  I layered the die cut twice to make it a little sturdier before adhering it to my panel with Sticky Specks, and added a few black Nuvo Drops.  I've been wanting to do a few rainbow cards to celebrate Pride Month, so I'm happy to have my first one to share!

Happy Everything!

 I was able to complete 6 cards this afternoon to add to my pile for donation.  I bought several small sentiment dies by Creative Expressions (from the Papercrafter's Workshop!) especially to use on cards like this.  I am happy to use up a portion of an old paper pack, and make some happy, spring-y cards:

Other dies are Memory Box (butterfly) and Verve for the background shape.  Papers and embellishments are Close To My Heart.
