Hi everyone, we are in day 2 of a 3 day Covid-19 Lockdown here in Perth, Western Australia, so I have been keep myself amused by making cards.  I mean to say what else could I do, as we are not allowed to go out unless for food, medical assistance and 1 hour of exercise.  I sell cards at my place of work and donate the proceeds to the Cancer Council and the supply has been getting a bit low and needed restocking. So these were good enough reasons to be making cards for the last 2 days.  Bet you cannot guess what I will be doing tomorrow.

I have been making cards using up a lot of my retired Designer Series Paper and some retired stamp sets but this afternoon I made a set of cards using one of the sheets from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper Pack so I thought that I would share the cards with you.  When I make these cards I usually mass produce the same card as I sell a lot of them at work and I find it easier to make a lot of the same cards in one go.

I got 9 cards all up, 8 of the first design and 1 of the second design.  The 2nd design was actually a piece of Designer Series Paper that was left after I had decorated the inside of the other 8 cards and it was just a perfect size for a card front.

I cut the Designer Series Paper at 11.8cm x 7.5cm, you will get 8 pieces from the one 12" x 12" piece of patterned paper.  The cardstock mats are cut at Pool Party 13.8cm x 9.5cm, Basic White 13.3cm x 9cm and Pretty Peacock 12.3cm x 8cm.  The card base is Pretty Peacock.

This piece of Designer Series Paper was 7cm x 10.5cm, this is what was left after I finished decorating the inside of the other 8 cards.  I cut a Pretty Peacock mat at 7.5cm x 11cm to mat the patterned paper on and the other two mats are cut the same size as the first card design.

Hope you enjoyed these cards.

Thank you for visiting
