Mail it Monday.....I'm back(LOL)!

It's been a while since I last posted a Make It + Mail It card, and the bonus......it's STILL Monday!  Here is a card I created, for two reasons.  A demo swap(color challenge for Feb. Coffee Talk), and a belated birthday for a fellow demo! 

While in San Antonio one the ladies had her birthday, many of us joined her for a Birthday Supper, and the idea was to bring her a card.  Yep, you guessed it..........mine was not created YET!  I wrote her a note on a napkin(embarrassing, I know) telling her when I got home I would put to work a stamp that said something like "sorry I'm late"!  She laughed as I hung my head..........and now we have the following, hope she likes it!  Happy Belated Birthday Susan!

Great card for using circle punches.....the flower shape(back layer) is from the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch(# 122464 on page 211 main catty).....using the center setting. 

more 3 x 3's!

both sets of these 3 x 3 cards were lifted from a fellow U.S. demo.....thanks so much for the inspiration Chic n Scratch!

quick & easy Valentine card!

I seem to be on a 3 x 3 kick.....fun, easy, cute little cards, great for hand delivered thank yous/gift/flowers!  (not mail friendly)

Here are a few quick and easy cards......GREAT use for TWO great punches!

I've seen similar versions of the large Valentine card several places on the web.....the smaller version came pretty easy(lol)!

 


Decided to try a flower version using a 2nd Stampin' Up! punch that punches three shapes in one punch.
