Meanwhile her fellow crafters met and made some new card designs.
Pet cards were requested by our community for a variety of reasons: sympathy, illness or surgery, new pet. This card covered all those occasions with one simple design: multi-colored leopard spots, a bright yellow doily to highlight the cat heart die cut. I think the sentiment was witty and versatile for many note by pet-lovers to pet-lovers. This was Carol's kit.
Dianne brought a thank you card, perhaps for a teacher or a hostess after a weekend visit. Of course, the watermelons were a summer theme. Three different sizes and colors of circle die cuts, the smallest, red one embossed with a polka dot pattern definitely suggest watermelon, cool and delicious.
I made another variation on the theme for a birthday card.
The fringed patterned paper on the background could be a napkin or tablecloth.
A third variation on the same theme.
Bonnie brought kits to make another summer theme: the lake retreat
with Adirondack chairs and a row boat and swimming dock.
I used it for a retirement card but it could also be a get well card
or just a summer note to a friend.
Bonnie has the patience to do most of the fussy cutting for us.
We settle into using her Copic markers to add color.
Next meeting is
Monday, July 11th from 1-4 p.m.
at the clubhouse.
