Card Mania

I have been making a heap of cards lately for an order. An absolutely lovely lady who is a client of my Dad's who buys heaps of cards off me, lends me card making books for inspiration and has never even met me. How wonderful! Usually I have quite a few cards already in my stash that match my orders but this time I had none, so I've been going crazy thinking up new ideas. I like to make a mix of cards, which is difficult when you want to use your new favourite paper pad over and over. But I like to think I've done a fairly good job. I'll show you a few cards over the next few days but I thought I'd start with these...
35 thank you cards in the order so that's what most of these are. This first one uses an older paper range from Kaiser, one of their rubbons, and stickers from Sass Lass. I just love their little embelishment stickers, I buy every set even if I don't by any of the papers! The rubbon didn't come out perfectly so I've gone over it with a black fine liner. And I've used one button from the stash.
This is made with an old range by Basic Grey. Ambrosia, I ordered the collection pack and got a heap of stickers and papers free with it so I am still working my way through it!! I am recently loving these letter stickers again!
This butterfly is from Heidi Swapp and I have been wanting to get these butterflies for ages and ages but for whatever reason put it off because I thought I wouldn't use them. Well I ended up getting them on sale and have used abouut half of them so far. So was definately worth the purchase! I've used some Indian Summer papers by Basic Grey and this stamp is from heidi grace - a sentiment set - that is my absolute favourite!!
Well that's enough from me for now.
