Sunny Thought Kit – Annie’s Card Making Kit

Trying to clean my craft room that is beyond a disaster. There is so much to do to get it back in order. One of the things are cards laying around with sketches so I can post them. But as you tell the last few years I haven’t posted much. And this past fall/winter (2022) I didn’t even make any Christmas cards for orders. Just overwhelmed and busy. But in starting to get my life back under control I’m cleaning my craft disaster.

Here are some cards I have made in past year or two!!

I made this for an order. I used the Annies Cardmaker Kit of the Month Club – May 2021 – Sunny Thoughts. Then I made this one as version 2 with the supplies.

Water Can Flowers - Supplies:
Die Cut Flower Can - Annie's CardMaker Card Kit - Sunny Thoughts
Cardstock: Bazzill
Embossing Folders: Stampin Up - Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder, Cricut Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots
Happy Birthday Die: Creative Expressions Craft Dies - Happy Birthday (CEDSS009)

3D Birthday cards

I made this card for my Godmother’s Birthday.  I’m actually a couple weeks early with making it!! I used Sketch #3 from the October Card Sketch Challenge. Sorry the image is blurry. I couldn’t get a good photo. The bird image is 3D with several layers so that is why it looks that way.
Happy Mail Challenge – October 2020

Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill (pansy, heather)
3D Push Outs – Jeanine’s Art (Birds & Flowers (SB10318))
Embossing folder: Stampin Up – Sizzix Country Floral embossing folder

I made this for a lady to give to her mom for her mother’s birthday.

Moments in Time

Needed a Mother’s Day card with birds and saw this image in the Photoplay Moments in Time collection and thought it was perfect. I used an old Stella Says Sketch #601.

Love made from Christmas

I’m so excited about this card. I saw the challenge at Scrapbook Blessings Club to make a Valentine/Love card using Christmas Stash and didn’t think much of it since I had all my Valentine cards done. Well while I was working on a Christmas card using old stash I saw the perfect stickers that looked nothing like Christmas but were all about Love! I had also been wanting to do sketch #3 at the Cardmakers Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com but the inspiration hadn’t come to me till now. So not only did I use old old old supplies I was challenged and came up with a cute card. Love when that happens!! Haven’t been able to just play like that for a long time.

Final Batch of Mothers Day Cards

So this week I made the last of the Mother’s Day Cards that were needed for the people at work.

INSIDE: To the best Nana anyone could ever wish for! Happy Mother’s Day

I have a standing order for a guy at work to make a Flamingo card for his Grandma on Christmas and Mother’s Day. Here is this years Flamingo Best Nana anyone could ever wish for card!!

CHALLENGES:
1) May Card Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook.com – Sketch 3 – original sketch is from The sweet Stop sketchChallenge Blog #144

One of the guys at work wanted a Mother’s Day card with a Rainbow theme since his mother loves rainbows. This card was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest – http://iminhaven.blogspot.com/2012/01/color-my-world.html I didn’t have a flower die or punch that would work for this so a trip to Michael’s was the solution. I bought a Martha Stewart anywhere punch of a butterfly. It was too big to do the original design so this is what I came up with.

I did a 2nd card and messed up on the punching so I put the sentiment on the outside. Which do you like better?? Please let me know as I want to make more and I can’t decide which one to do.

CHALLENGES:
1) May Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com – Favorites Category – Recreate a card or sketch you’ve saved in your favorites either on this site, a blog, or Pinterest.

Here is another version but this one has the saying on the outside.

I’m hosting a Calendar Challenge at Clearly iStamp Blog.

The challenge is to make 3 calendar pages in 3 weeks so by September you will have a whole calendar completed! Just perfect for a Christmas gift. Having the challenge is also motivating me because if you join in then I have to continue to complete mine and not slack off. We finished the first 3 weeks today and last night I finished my other 2 pages, February and March. I will post March tomorrow once I get permission from the sketch site I used as inspiration. So here is February:

My friend, Melissa W, made this awesome sketch to inspire us at a retreat we went to this past weekend in MI.

Hope you will come play with us. Even if you missed Part 1 jump on it and get some motivation!!
