Perfectly Penned in Style

I spent the weekend in the cool (actually COLD) indoors at a scrapbook crop!  Although I took several card projects to work on, I only got a couple of them completed.  However, I also spent some time talking to potential Stampin' Up customers and catching up with some great friends, so I consider it a productive weekend.

You will find that I like doing several of the same cards once I get started.  I believe that the assembly line method works best, and in this case I completed 8 sets of 6 cards, for a total of 48.  I got the idea for this card from Angie at www.mychicnscratch.com.  I believe the term is "cased".  Anyhow, I loved the simplicity and cleanliness that this card offers.  While Angie made a set of Thank You cards, I chose to make a set of 6 cards, using all of the colors in the Polka Dot Parade DSP, and all of the greetings included in the Perfectly Penned Stamp Set.  I decided to use the Happy Birthday and Thank You two times each, as they would be the most used.  I just love SU! products because they coordinate so well.

To gift these, I will putting them in a Clear Bags case that holds 6 cards with envelopes, and probably tie a coordinating ribbon around them. My family enjoys getting handmade cards that are all ready for THEM to send out to friends and loved ones :-).

The other project I worked on was done with kids in mind, and again, I made 8 sets total, but with only 4 per set, and changed it up a bit by using a different stamp set on 4 of them.  As you can see, I packaged them with a set of 8 crayons, and they will be used a gift for some young 'uns I know, so that they can add their personal touch with color before giving them out.  I used several old papers for these, a current stamp set called Greeting Card Kids on the first set, and a retired stamp set called Gift Givers on the second set.
