May Cards

I haven't gotten too far with my May card kit from Simon Says Stamp. The June kit has already been revealed so I better get a move on it.



I did make some really cute shaker cards with the materials.




 I also added this mini Lawn Fawn set to my stamp stash. 123Stitch had a sale. Who knew my go-to online stitching shop had stamping materials and some of the best prices around.



This is another shaker card I made from the kit with the cute little crayons bouncing around inside.



I also had an assembly line going with the Pawsome kit to send along to this month's giveaway recipients.



I've been having a miserable time with my stamping skills in spite of having spent a small fortune on trendy ink. What I found was that the $2.99 Color Crush from AC Moore works better than any of the expensive ones.


I haven't quite got the hang of Distress Inks but that didn't keep me from adding more of them to my collection. Half price. Free shipping. Joannes. 'nuf said.


I also want to thank lovely Meredith at Mereknits for this surprise package that showed up yesterday. Look at those gift tags. Perfect, right?

    So pretty! You are tempting me for a new craft.
    I like the idea of kits. I would never know where to start from myself.

    Love the cards. Is there anything you can't do? Meredith is a sweetheart, and that is the absolute truth.
    Blessings,

      No...not always. They send me promotional coupons from time to time for online sales.

    Your cards are all beautiful. I don't see any problems with the inks. LOL

    That card with the kites looks like it would be perfect for Father's Day or a boy's graduation or birthday! So cute!

    Shaker cards are so much fun. I haven't made cards for ages. Maybe this summer...
