Get Crafting each Month with my Make a Card/Send a Card Groups Forming Now!

Hi Everyone,

I'm so glad you stopped by today. I'm sharing all about the Make a Card/Send a Card groups that I organize throughout the year. The groups for spring/Summer are coming to a close and it's time for the fall/winter groups to form. Being part of this group is a great way to use your crafting supplies consistantly, and to have your creativity boosted when you receive cards back. I'll get to more details later in this post.

The cards I've created this month are so beautiful! I create for more than one group, so I look for ways to make my work easy and quick, but continue to share stunning cards. This is really easy with the beautiful Stampin' Up! designer series papers. I used the Inked Botanicals 6" x 6" DSP. For the Make a Card/Send a Card groups, you join one group and create 6 cards to send to 6 people by the 6th of each month for 6 months. See the pattern here? :)

For my cards, I used a store bought cards and envelopes pack at a clearance price. I bought this quite a long time ago. Whenever I'm out in craft stores, I always look for some great clearance deals that I can include with my crafting or help my daughter craft for all her friends. Of course, the quality of these products are nowhere near the high quality of Stampin' Up! products, but you can add to them and transform your project into a great finished product. 

I just love the floral border card front. Since I was making so many of these cards, having this premade card base was a time saver for sure. The die cut floral panel was already finished, so step one complete!

The fun part of this card, was using the beautiful Inked Botanical 6" x 6" DSP. One thing I love is monochromatic stamping (one color or shades of one color). There is something so clean and calming with this. I gave my card a stronger base by adhering the DSP to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhering that to the card front. I then used the Darling Details Dies and the Something Fancy Dies for the label and flowers. The cards were finished off with sentiments from the Charming Sentiments Stamp set. 

I'm not sure which color I like best. The colors are Calyso Coral, Lost Lagoon, and Daffodil Delight. I like them all so much that I can't decide on just one. The upcoming Make a Card/Send a Card groups will begin in September and run through February. When you sign up, you will recieve a list with the names, addresses, email, and birthday of the 6 people you will share cards with each month. 

Make a Card/Send a Card Group Details:

• Make 6 cards for the people on your group list (does not have to be all Stampin' Up! products. This is time for creativity and using your crafting stash).
• Send these 6 cards to the people on your group list by the 6th of the month.
• Continue to create to send your cards by the 6th of the month for 6 months.
• This group runs from September through February.

 If you would like more details or would like to sign up, fill out my Make a Card/Send a Card form by August 15th. This will give me time to organize the groups and get your group information sheet out to you, so you can create for your first month of cards.
