Twelve Sheetload Birthday Cards

The May 2023 Sheetload of Cards creates TWELVE cards, and since I'm working at building up my supply of nursing home donation cards, I pulled it out to make these cards. I chose two 12x12" patterned papers and these are the cards I came up with. 

Six of them have this lovely floral patterned paper so I added butterflies which were punched from a blue mirrored cardstock. 

I used pink ink for the stamping both on the front and on the inside.

The next six cards have a wolf image, and I used some leftover pieces in the paper package to mat the panels and the blue woodgrain scraps for the decorative bit along the left edge. I did have the floral pieces which were meant to go there but I didn't want to use florals for these ones.

Here is the inside of the more masculine cards, with a couple more of the images from the stamp set (Stampin' Up) and a sentiment.

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.
