Cards for All!

 Good morning crafty friends!
 
Today, I'm sharing cards that I made for a special friend's birthday and a few others that will be added to a box of cards that I donate to my mother's church for their annual basket party.
 
First up is a pretty floral birthday card...
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
 
I grabbed this yellow and blue floral paper from my scrap stash.  A pale blue cardstock is used for the cover plate design, banner and flower.  I cut the flower from two different blues and use Copics to add detail.  The center is a blue sugar dot.  The banner matting is cut from darker blue and the sentiment  from the pale blue.   
 
Next up is a Thank You card.
 
THANK YOU
 
This A2 card is made from paper scraps too.  I die cut a border and adhered it to the center including the negative cuts also.  No matting for the banner because I wanted the stripes to show through.  I did add one of the hearts above the banner.  The butterfly is fussy cut from the other side of the background paper.  
 
And last is a tribute card for a friend who's pet went over the rainbow this past week.
 
hugs
 
Another card from paper scraps and I included a photo of her furry friend on the front.
 
That's it for now...I am on a roll this week cranking out cards from my scrap box.  I'll be sharing more by the end of the week.
 
Sharing in these challenges:
 
Thanks for stopping by!
Have the best day and hope to see you again soon.

These are all delightful cards Vicki! What a great way to use up some printed papers. I need to do more of these types of cards and use up some of my vast collection of pp. For some reason I'm not getting notified when you post on your blog. I'm just now realizing this. Sorry it's been so long since I've visited.

I like all your beautiful cards, but as an animal lover, I LOVE the one with the picture of your friend that lost her dog. Having just lost my 2 old dogs over the past few months, I know your friend will cherish this thoughtful card you made for her. Peace!

I love all of your cards but that birthday card is amazing - I saw it on the Krafty Chicks as a top pick (congrats!) and had to come tell you how gorgeous it is!
