Another card from the August Flavor of the Month Kit

Another of the collections from this kit included a camping theme.  I loved the canoes and paddles papers that were included!  The card practically made itself, it came together so easily!

This one was a fun card to make, and will be an excellent birthday card for any of the guys in my life!  I started off by making my card base from white card stock, and rounding all of the corners. I cut some blue card stock from my stash a bit smaller, and also rounded the corners.

I cut a strip of the beige paddles paper included in the kit, matted it with brown cardstock, and attached it to the lower front of the card.

I cut some blue canoe paper into a small rectangle, rounded the corners and matted it with brown card stock, also.  I attached to card front with foam tape.  I then fussy cut one of the sayings from another of the papers included in the kit, and also adhered it with foam tape.

Second Flavor of the Month kit arrived

This was the August kit, there was some lovely house paper included in one of the collections this time, so I had to make a thinking of you card.


Started by making a card base from the white card stock, and a card front cut 1/2 inch smaller from red card stock. Then, from the Collection 4 papers, I cut a large banner from a yellowish paper that had a lot of family type sayings on it, and adhered it to the center left of the card front.  I cut 3 small banners from the blue card stock, and cut a rectangle from printed paper with houses. I matted the houses in an orange, attached the 3 banners to the back, and added to the front with foam tape.  Stamped thinking about you from a stamp set I already owned.













Loved how this one came out.  Still debating with myself on whether I should add some of the included sequins, or if that would be too much. I'm pretty sure I'm going to add the sequins...
