Sooooo ... most of the cards I create end up with a birthday sentiment or a generic sentiment that can be used as a birthday sentiment. I do this on purpose since I send birthday cards throughout the year to more than 100 family members (I have a BIG extended family!)! This week's TGIF Challenge is perfect for me since it's all about birthday cards!!
I set out to make some cards that could be used for ANYone ... and I ended up struggling with color combos ... so I just used a bunch!! There's also a LOT of layering going on with these ... if less is more, then MORE is MORE, right??!??
MANY dies were employed to get to the final product on these ... that's not a BAD thing, is it??

I've made more cards in the last two weeks than I have in the past SEVERAL months (other than my Christmas cards ... which I STILL need to share here!)! Cleaning one's craft space does WONDERS for one's creativity!
These are such cool, unique cards, Wendy! I never in a million years would have thought up these creative combos! And, who doesn't want to use all of their dies? I know I want to get my use out of every one!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your Christmas cards! I made over 150 this year. Not bad considering we aren't working any more.
I hope you are well! I've been thinking of you a lot lately
