Using a card kit

I love the look of Anna Griffin cards.  I have a couple of kits and decided it was time to play with them.

  I opened up the Valentine's kit.  The cards are lovely, but the sentiments are more for significant other than friends.  The love of my life is my cat Benjamin.  He doesn't care about getting mail or cards.  So I decided to turn them into birthday cards.

A few were made into "Thinking of You" cards.  Made a couple of them for special friends.  The first one is for one of my dear stamping buddies.  I think she will like it.

I made this one for a special friend who is crazy for cats.  Used kitties from another Anna Griffin kit.

I had a good time playing with the cards, deciding how to decorate them and what sentiment to use.  Some of the cards I made alternative sentiments with stamps in my collection. 

Thinking of you while Social Distancing

A group of friends decided to create a card exchange during this period of staying at home and social distancing.  This is my card.  I stole the idea from Connie of Simply Simple Stamping.  Used Stampin' Up stamps:  Ornate Style Stamps is a new set that will come out in the new catalog in June; the sentiment came from a retired set, Avant-Garden.
