Fifth Set of Birthday Cards

Today I'm sharing the fifth & final set of Birthday Cards I made using a 6x6 paper pad & coordinating ephemera. You can see the first batch HERE, the 2nd set HERE, the 3rd set HERE and the 4th set HERE if you are curious! (So far, I've made 20 cards)

I took a couple of evenings, cutting down the papers in the pack to work with the June 2021 Sheetload of Cards (a favourite). 

Then I chose coordinating ephemera for each card and had everything stored together in a plastic bag. I know how busy things are going to get in the next couple of months, so I wanted to get a jump on my nursing home donation cards. That way I could just reach into the bag and pull out the pieces to quickly complete a couple of cards!

These ones are all the same inside, and I used an old Stampin' Up banner punch & some scraps to add a little colour inside.

I was able to use what was left in the paper package and the remaining ephemera for these cards. I love to use things up!

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - Let's Celebrate, Carta Bella (6x6")

Let's Celebrate Ephemera - Carta Bella

June 2021 Sheetload of Cards - Call Me Crafty Al

Sentiment inside - Lots of Birthday2Stamp, the Stamps of Life

Slimline Christmas Pop Up Card

I completely forgot to share a Christmas card in September! We ended up doing a camping trip down the Oregon coast, we've been busy since we got back and I'm having trouble finding time to get in my craft room. But this is the holiday card I made in September ... just a little late, ha ha.

I went with a Slimline card and the patterned paper is VERY sparkly. I've had the paper pad for a few years and there is also a coordinating ephemera pack that I used for the words on the front and the elements inside. The scene was at the bottom of a 12x12" sheet in the paper pad, and I thought it worked well for a Slimline.

The pop-up arms come from Karen Burniston's Mini Pops Pop Up and the signing block was die cut with her Rectangles & Labels set. 

The Canadian Thanksgiving is this coming weekend, and I didn't get a single card in the mail for it. Hoping I can dig out the extra Halloween cards I made last year and get those in the mail or I'll miss the boat on that occasion too!
