365 Days of Cards

I have been wanting to create a card using left over strips of paper and the top strip of the CTMH paper packs. I decided the retired Regetta paper pack was perfect. This is a fun card that was quick and easy to make!  Each strip of paper was cut just shy of 1". I then adhered them on and then cut them down to size. Have a great weekend.

Today's Throwback Thursday is not that old! It comes from the recently retired Regetta paper pack and complements. I added the sentiment from the Artfully Sent stamp set (available with Artfully Sent Cartridge only).

I love crafting! That is not a surprise to many of you. The reasons I love to craft are all personal. I love to send cards at random times to brighten people's day. I love to acknowledge special events in my family and friends lives. I find it very relaxing and need some of my own down time and this is how I get it each day. Finally, I remind myself if it is something I enjoy doing how can I not make the time. Anyone can find the time to make cards. They do not have to complicated. These there cards all have the same base pieces and I completed all 3 of them in 30 minutes.  The bases are made with a 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of cardstock that I embossed and then a 3" x 4 1/14" piece of patterned paper. I used the following supplies to embellish the cards: All supplies Close to My Heart: Regatta Paper pack  Sapphire Cardstock  Anchor My Way Stamps and Thin Cuts Regatta Complements   Sapphire Ink Black Ink Pomegranate Ink  Flaxen...

I am loving everything about Regatta  and the coordinating stamp sets and thin cuts. This fun card was made using Pomegranate cardstock, Sapphire, Poppy, Glacier, Black and Saffron ink  was used to stamp everything. Thin cuts made this card quick to put together.

The Regetta paper pack is so versatile and contains so many different patterns. I used a retired Quick Card stamp set. The card base is Glacier  carstock and then I used 2 different patterned papers from Regetta. I stamped in Flaxen ink and added some glacier extra thick twine .

   I finally ordered the Regatta  paper pack, coordinating stamp set, My Anchor  along with the coordinating Thin Cuts .  I love the paper pack, stamps and thin cuts. I used Poppy and Black  ink   for the stamping.  This will be the perfect card to slip in my husband's lunch this week! He is an amazing man who does so much for our family. I learned with him out of town the last two weeks that I really would be lost without him!

 The Regatta paper pack is so versatile. Today I used it with the retired stamp set "Remarkable Wreath" to create the wreath and sentiment. I stamped the wreath with Saffron, Chocolate and Glacier ink . I also added Glacier twine and Enamel & Glitter Duos Blue Dots .
