Back in January I followed an online card class for making Clean and Simple Cards because it is a style I have a lot of difficulty with as a lover of buttons and ribbons and bows and dimensional flowers and hardware and..... you get the idea. Well I thoroughly enjoyed the class but I got behind and didn't manage to fit in all the assignments in time. One of the assignments was to make a pack of cards and as I usually never make more than 2 copies of any card, I wanted to give it a try. As you know, my daughter just turned 30 and so of course did a number of her friends. She wanted to give a couple of her friends, 30 gifts to open on the day and she commissioned me to make a couple of packs of cards to go in the pile. This gave me the incentive to get busy and this is what I came up with:-
a selection of ribbon banners for the sentiments
a mixture of bright flowers
set of stems for the flowers to sit on
a little mat and a 'thank you' sentiment
another mat and a 'just saying hello' sentiment
a handmade box, lid and bellyband
the finished product.
I put some music on and got on a roll with the die cutting and stamping and had a lovely time making the 2 packs of 6 cards.
Thanks for looking.

What a sweet set of cards!! Love the cheerful colors and fun packaging ;)
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a bit of love! I bought those sweet little heart buttons at Archivers. There were several in the package, can't remember the cost but they weren't much.
THE BEST GIFT SET!!!!! Adorable love these Carol! Oh I wish I could drop everything and just sit down and try to make these. You did such a beautiful job on this sweet set of cards anyone would love to have. Fresh CAS and the box is perfect too. Makes me happy when I see you in the comment section of my blog, thanks.
Have a great day Carol. TFS
What a professional job Carol! I love the bright design of the cards and the way you've packaged them up. Vicky x
Don't you think there is something very therapeutic about making a set of cards. I really enjoy just cutting and sticking without the worry! Just love these Carol - FF is just the best set for making knockout cards like these.
What a lovely set of cards! Love the colors and the design.
