Close up of paint chip cards

Here is a close up of my paint chip cards.  

Paint samples

We had all these paint samples left over from when we redecorated the house

and they have been sitting around for about a year or so.  I decided there must be a way 

to use them on a card and this is what I came up with.  I like all the different colors.

It was an awful lot of cutting though.  These 6 cards took several hours to make.

Fall cards

A couple of Fall cards for my next box to Write Home.

I love Fall colors and could make cards using these colors all the time.

Boot Camp...Principle of Unity

This month's Boot Camp teaches about unity on your card.  

I thought using star paper, star embellishments and

 grey washi tape brought this all together. 

 I made 10 of these cards and they will go in my next box to Operation Write Home.

Boot Camp

                       This is my card for this month's Boot Camp.  I use 3 colors and tried to stay with that.
                       The paper is from Joann's and the stamp is Hero Arts.  I used some "candy" on the big
                       flower and black pearl pen on the smaller flowers.  I embossed the yellow banner
                       in the middle to give it some texture.

Repetition

I made this card for the Boot Camp series on repetition.  I got the stamp in the dollar bin at Michaels and I just love it.  My friend Cindy got me started on Washi tape and now I just love that stuff.  The stamp is from Gina K, the ink is Amuse and the Washi tape is a Smash product.  This will go in my next box for Operation Write Home.  As you can see, I am not great at taking pictures.  It is way prettier in person.

Cricut cards

I had no mojo last week so I put away the stamps and the ink and got out my Cricut.  These are the cards
that I made and once I got started the mojo kept coming!!!  What I like about using my Cricut for cards is they can be very embellished but still flat to go in the mail.
These cards will all go in my next box to Operation Write Home.
