Hello my crafty friends. It's the 2nd of the month and that means it's time for a new Sheetload of Cards. Since I'm on the YouTube Collaboration Team, I have all the details in my video:
The first card I made for my Mother In Law, who hadn't been feeling well. My husband was flying to Ontario to visit her and I wanted her to know I was thinking of her as well. He brought her this card and some goodies I had for her.
I had planned on doing a little tutorial in my video but managed to lose the footage. I will say that my Mini Make Art Station was a great tool to help with assembly, with the magnets keeping everything in place as I added the different layers.
I made 16 cards, with a personal challenge to only use scraps and smaller sheets/pieces from the patterned paper in my stash. I didn't cut into a single sheet, other than for the card bases themselves. While it's hard to see in this photo, I also decided to add a transparency piece into the opening. I love the shine that gives the cards - as well as making them a little more sturdy. There is more information on how I did that in the video.

I made a number of Birthday Cards that I can donate to my Mom's old nursing home.
I also have a Christmas card for my stash. This one was probably the most satisfying to make, as that feature panel with the trees was the EXACT size of the piece from the Sheetload, and the other two patterns were leftover pieces in the pad that I got to USE UP.
I have a few things to link below, but. almost everything I used for my cards has been in my craft room for several years and likely retired.
