Eight Blue & Yellow Birthday Cards

I don't usually post cards on weekends anymore, but I have been creating a lot of Birthday Cards lately and wanted to share these ones instead of hanging onto the photos for weeks. My nursing home donation cards were depleted and I like to have at least one month done ahead. I've been taking advantage of different Sheetload of Cards to help me build up a few months worth of cards and last week I took them their 25 cards for August. Once I have a stash built up I will be happier, so I'll be sharing a lot of birthday cards this month. In fact, it will likely be a record month for me but I won't have to keep up this pace as my stash will be well supplied. Then it's easy to make a couple of cards here and there to keep it up.

These were made using another of my favourite Sheetloads - the June 2021 and I have it linked below if you would like to try your hand at it. Such an efficient way to use your patterned papers and create a bunch of cards at once. ❤️

The 6x6" patterned papers are very old and were part of a 6x6" paper share from my then Stampin' Up demonstrator. I had worked hard to USE IT UP earlier this year, so the pieces were all cut and in a bag ready for me to assemble the cards. I found them when poking around in my 'In Progress' bin so grabbed my cardstocks and finished them off.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
