Monthly Madness April 2022!

 Hello! The April samples are ready!  Since Mother's Day is next month, I wanted this month's cards to be very feminine.  Now, I did not stamp Happy Mother's Day on any of them, so if you don't need cards for that occasion, you can easily make them for Birthday or other occasions.  I do want to mention though that I have a few Happy Mother's Day stamps that I could add to any of the cards, all you have to do is ask and I will gladly add it.  Before I get to the cards, here is a reminder of the ordering details...

You get 2 of 5 designs + a bonus card, made by me, ready to send.  You also get color copies of all the cards and written instructions.  All for $35 ($30 + $5 shipping).  You can pay me by paypal, venmo, check, or cash.  

Okay, now let me show you my cards.  I love them all, I hope you do too!  Enjoy!

Card #1 is my monthly fun fold card.  This one is called a Hidden Pop-Up Flap Fold.  I know it does not look easy to make, but it really is!  Last month, I did a Facebook Live that went quite well, so I am thinking I will do one to specifically show this card, step by step.  And of course, you will have my written instructions too!  Can't wait for you to see ...


As you pull the center section, you start to see...

 
And then fully opened, you see the pop-up!


Here is a close-up of the pop-up.


Next, we have a sweet cooking card ...

Note, did you see how her scarf in her hair and her apron pockets match the plaid paper?  LOVE!


Teacups and flowers ...




The next card I just love.  If you are online a lot, you might recognize this from Stampin' Up.  I got this last year along with the matching set of stamps.  However, I was told I am not allowed to stamp their stamps and then add to kits, but there are no copyrite rules on dies, so I combined theirs with a few of mine!


The gate actually opens!
The next card uses a stamp that I have used before in the kits but I think it has been at least a year, so I just had to stamp again.  This card is so pretty and it so reminds me of my mom.  I would be giving her this card if she was still here with me, but she is in heaven with my dad.  



And last but not least, my bonus card ...


That is it for this month!  If you are not one that gets consecutive months, be sure to let me know you want this month's kit.  I always make a few extra, but it still best to get your name on one!  

Happy Stamping!
