June Card Crafting Session

We missed Sue who was on vacation with her husband, both of whom card craft!  We can't wait to see her photos from the seminar she took while away.

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.
