Green Félicitations

Hello everyone,

This is the last card in my latest series of charity sale cards.  Congratulations

The printed and solid papers are Generations Pretty Simple Primary Color Collection.  The image is Annabelle Hold A Candle stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and coloured with Sakura Glaze pen.  The sentiment is Bonnidee French Wording #1 stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White.  The ribbon is Hobby Lobby Decorative Trim.

Green, white and black, what a great colour combination.  This is a much lovelier green card than the English version.  Like all the other cards in this series, it's meant to be gender neutral and multipurpose.  The kind of card you could use in a pinch.  I go back and forth on this series.  Some times I think these are really great cards at other times, I wonder if they'll really sell.  We'll see in October.

I hope you enjoy this card and have enjoyed this series and come back to SPI again soon.

Blue Heureuse Retraite

Hello everyone,

Today's charity sale card is a French retirement card.

The printed and solid papers are Generations Pretty Simple Primary Color Collection.  The sentiment is Bonnidee French Wording #1 stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White.  The ribbon is Dashes, Dots & Checks and Offray.  The printed paper is highlighted with Silver Stickles.

Like all the earlier cards in this series, it's a pretty simple and straightforward card.  I figured it would work well for either a female or male retirement.  It strikes me as rather impersonal for a retirement as I usually like to creative something more custom but I think this would do as a last minute, in a pinch card.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Red Prompt Rétablissement

Hello everyone,

Today's card is a red French get well card.

The printed and solid papers are Generations Pretty Simple Primary Color Collection.  The sentiment is Bonnidee French Wording #1 stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White.  The brads are of unknown origin.

At this stage of the charity card series, I'm drawing on any inspiration I can find.  I like doing the banners and thought the points of the stars would work well together.  The black stars, which I couldn't believe I actually had, coordinate with the black ink of the sentiment.  All in all, a really quick and easy card!

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Yellow Bonne Fête

Hello everyone,

There is a lot of demand for French cards at the charity sale.  I usually only craft French cards on commission as I can't use any leftovers so for the sale, I have to play with the few French sentiments I have.

The printed and layered papers are Generations Pretty Simple Primary Color Collection.  The image is Marianne Design Collectables COL1319 (stamp and die) stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White and coloured with Sakura Glaze pen.  The sentiment is Bonnidee French Wording #1 stamped in Versafine Onyx Black.  The embellishments are Kaisercraft Pearl Strips.

This card turned out more lovely than I pictured.  I'm not a big fan of yellow and I was a little worried this would be rather 'bumble bee-ish' but it isn't at all.  In fact, I'm going to craft a few more like these because this is an awesome simple card!

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

I hope someone out there really likes green stripes.  This is a lot of stripes!

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Blue Congratulations

Hello everyone,

Today's post is another is this series for the Fall charity sale at work.

The printed paper is Generations Pretty Simple Primary Color Collection layered on Recollections White.  The sentiment is Stampin' Up Curly Cute stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White and layered on more Generations Pretty Simple Primary Color Collection.  The ribbon is White Rose.  The embellishments are Kaisercraft Pearl Strips.

I wanted to craft a card that would really work for any occasion.  I thought this would work for male or female, birthday, baby, promotion or even wedding.  I love how the black pops against the blue and white!

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Red Birthday

Hello everyone,

Today's post is another charity sale card.

The printed paper and bottom layer is Generations Pretty Simple Primary Color Collection.  The sentiment is Stampin' Up Delightful Dozen stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White.  The bow is of unknown origin.  The embellishments are TPC Studio Class Act mini jewels.

This printed paper reminds me of a picnic and if I had 'ant' embellishments, I would have used them.  I've had this bow sitting on my desk for eons.  I can't even remember where it's from but I suspect it salvaged it from somewhere.  I've used black ink on this entire series of cards not only because it pops on all this paper but it helps keeps them clean and simple.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Yellow Thank You

Hello everyone,

This next series of cards have been crafted for the Fall charity card sale at work.  These cards are quick, simple and straightforward.

The printed paper and bottom layer is Generations Pretty Simple Primary Color Collection.  The sentiment is Stampin' Up Wacky Wishes stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White.  The ribbon is White Rose.  The embellishment is of unknown origin.

I didn't have any black brads so I took a random brad and coloured it with StazOn Jet Black - super easy solution.  I had a teacher thank you in mind when I crafted this card and I'm pretty happy with the results.  The plan for these charity cards is to use up material that I either have leftover or have not used in ages.  I've had this pad of Generations paper for years and it is perfect for cards like these.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
