I wanted to make a bunch of cards this weekend (on World Card Making Day no less!!) to send to a friend in England for a fund raising effort she’s involved with. Actually, I made two sets, I’ll show you the other set in a few days. Happily this coincided with the Christmas Cards all Year Round blog as they want us to Prepare for Christmas by making a set of cards.
For my cards I used the same LO and Penny Black stamps. The area to be stamped is quite small which allowed me to use some of those smaller images on the transparent sets that would be lost on a larger card.
Here’s the five together to show they were all made at the same time.
And each card individually:
