Well, actually, it's not really the cards I'm sharing, but the packaging.
You see, Jonah's Jazz Choir is going to Banff at the end of April
and we have been doing fundraising for this trip.
In April, the choir is hosting a coffee house and there will be a Chinese Auction.
The choir director asked if we could donate prizes, so I made three card sets to donate.
Today, I'm sharing two of them.
The first card set is made up of the Shine Bright and Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts cards
To make my packaging, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 11x2.25".
On it, I used the sun die from Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts as a stencil
and applied some summer sunrise ink using my Tim Holtz blending tool.
Then, I stamped the sentiment (from Shine Bright) over top.
I wrapped the cardstock around the cards/envelopes and adhered it together in the back.
My second set of cards is a collection of the birds and bees cards that I made
recently for the Reverse Confetti Release using The Tweet Life & The Buzz,
I created the packaging the same way as the first one, but here
I stamped the bees and sentiment from The Buzz in black ink.
Then, I stamped another bee on a post-it note, cut out it's body and laid the rest
of the post-it note over the bee to apply some summer sunrise ink using my Tim Holtz blending tool.
Thanks for looking
