LOL, seriously. It's Saturday and I want to show you my SheetLoad of cards from June! I can't believe I forgot to post this since I had so much fun with all the different embellishments. Well, first let me tell you what a SheetLoad of Cards is.
SheetLoad is a wonderful site that posts a monthly SheetLoad of Cards issue. This monthly issue will help increase your card stash, one great layout at a time. For June's issue, I downloaded it, printed it out (because I love having the actual issue in my hands) and followed the simple cutting dimensions and made EIGHT cards! Then I went about assembling them and embellishing them to my heart's content. I had so much fun and discovered some new ways to embellish my cards. Here is my whole SheetLoad (you cna click on the picture to see a closeup):

AND, I used the stamp (Spring Fever) that I WON from Shirley's 2 Girls Twisted Thursday challenge a month or so ago (click on the button on my sidebar to check out the Twisted Thursday challenges!). I stamped the image and colored it with my copics. I used Cosmo Cricket papers on the cards. Here you can see two of the embellishments that I made:

The white flower button originally came with a yellow center, but I popped that out and put the blue button with twine instead. On the bottom one, I added some red ribbon behind it to look like another layer of petals. Here are a couple more:

On the top you can see that I did the blue button on the white flower button again, but right below that I put a pink heart brad on a white flower button instead. They are both on a ruffled piece of ribbon. At the bottom of the picture you can see that I used white ribbon with a green button to make another type of flower embellishment. That one is my favorite! Here are a couple more:

The top blue button was threaded, the green button was threaded and then I used yellow scalloped ribbon to make a flower. The pink button was threaded with yellow floss and glued on top of a yellow flower button. Well, those are all the amazing embellishments for my SheetLoad of Cards. What did you think? If you have any questions on how I made any of them, let me know and I'll do my best to answer. I'm thinking of doing a whole post on making flowers and flower embellishments... I've had so much fun making them lately. OH, and guess what... I WON RUNNER-UP FOR JUNE!!! YEP! You can go HERE and see the blog post announcement. My SheetLoad won Runner-up! I am so excited since it was my first time entering! I'm working on my July SheetLoad. You can play too. Go HERE and check it out!
I hope you all enjoyed my post today and I hope you have a Suberb Saturday. Be blessed, I know I have!

Very beautiful, colorful, yet sort of antiquey cards!! Love them, Angi!!!
Hey, do you know of anyone (or a place online) that wants to buy a huge lot of stamps? I have sold some of mine of ebay, but I still have quite a lot I want to sell. I simply don't have the time to stamp except for occasionally. I can't justify keeping all of my sets either. Homeschooling will just take up so much of my time as it is, and I would rather sell some things rather than let them sit!
How are you?
