Six Floral & Butterfly Birthday Cards

Hello my crafty friends

I really enjoy working 'assembly line' style and this older patterned paper from my stash inspired me to make a set of Birthday cards for my Mom's nursing home.


I mistakenly ordered a box of envelopes for 4 x 6" cards but they are a good size for my donation cards so these cards are all 4 x 6". This was also a good opportunity to use up some of this patterned paper that has been hanging around for so long I don't even like it anymore. But it's bright and cheery and I'm sure the residents won't even notice that the paper is not 'new and trendy'.


I added some punched and layered butterflies with a Nuvo Drop in the centre for shine.



I  don't like to give the nursing home too many similar cards in a month as I want the residents too feel special. So these ones are divided up into the 4 bags I have on the go at any given time. Once there are 25 cards in a bag each month, it's ready to be delivered.

Supplies:
Patterned paper - Diane Kappa, g.c.d.
White and red card stocks
Rectangle dies - Waffle Flower
MISTI - My Sweet Petunia
Word stamps - Taylored Expressions
Stitched Fishtail Banner die - Elizabeth Craft Designs
Butterfly punches - Stampin' Up
Nuvo Crystal Drops

Card size - 4 x 6"

Thanks for stopping by today
