Nine Sheetload Birthday Cards


Whew - I made a record number of cards last month but my nursing home stash is nice and full again. The Sheetloads help make it quick and efficient to create multiple cards while making the best use of patterned paper. I used a bunch of older items for these cards and pretty much everything is retired by now.

As usual, I create the Sheetloads as per the instructions and get the panels adhered to my card bases. Then I decide what I'm going to use to decorate them. For these cards I went through my embellishment binder and pulled out a bunch of stamped and die cut/fussy cut images that had been done many years ago at our cabin.

I was able to use up all the Birthday Farm Animals I had coloured & die cut, but didn't have enough for all nine cards. Going through the binder again I found another party dog then two butterflies. Done and done!


Below is the stamp I used inside all the cards.


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. 

Card Tally for 2023
January - 53 cards
February - 56 cards
March - 55 cards
April - 32 cards
May - 43 cards
June - 34 cards
July - 56 cards
September so far - 19 cards

I decided to cancel the subscription that provided linked thumbnails to what products I used on my cards. It was costing me out of pocket each month, so I’m back to listing what I used with a few affiliate links included.

Supplies:
Patterned paper - Studio K (old, from my stash)
Birthday Buddies stamps - Paper Smooches (retired)
Birthday Farm Animals - Simon Says Stamp (retired)
Butterfly - from my stash, likely cut with my old Cricut
Happy Birthday - Happy Cat, Your Next Stamp
Stickles
Happiest of Birthday's - Stampin' Up
