January has been a very productive month for me in the card department. I think I made over 80 cards this month. I was asked to make a card to give to each of the town's schoolbus drivers for Valentine's Day (31 cards). I thought I would make something not too labor intensive, but things don't always go as I planned. The card I decided to make is from www.svgcuts.com.To make 32 cards I needed 16 sheets of deep pink 8.5 x 11 cardstock, 8 12 x 12 sheets of red cardstock,10 12 x 12 sheets of white cardstock, 2 12 x 12 sheets of purple cardstock, 2 12 x 12 sheets of pink cardstock, 8 sheets of 8.5 x 11 white cardstock, lots of glue and 2 spools of fine pink ribbon. Just about every cut had to be embossed with a different design. The message inside the card was printed on cardstock and trimmed to size. Once everything was cut and prepped it only took about 5 minutes to put all the pieces together for each card. The hardest part was tying the ribbon. The cards are all finished and ready to deliver on Tuesday, along with my invoice (yes, I'm being paid for this one!)
Last night was the card swap at the LSS (local scrap shop). I had to make 20 Valentines and 20 Thank You cards. There were 14 ladies in the swap and the extra cards that we made were donated to the boxes going to the soldiers.
I also made cards for a swap on Northeast Scrapbook Friends. That was easy, just 6 cards for two groups
