June Cards

I was pretty ho hum about this month's card kit. The first two cards were pretty unimpressive although I do like the little ladybug. That was my idea. I was getting tired of flowers and I have that stamp from another set.

The next two were a little more fun. The floral one used an embossed resist technique that was fun. It was a tutorial by Simon Says Stamp.

 The next two turned out amazing. They were lots of work but fun to do.  These cards are also from video tutorials on YouTube. The blue one is by Paper Heart Scissors and the floral is by Vicky Papaioannou who also does the ten card series each month.

 The gorgeous blue one was done by using these masking sheets. You can save your negative space for stamping later by covering it up while you work on the background. Brilliant.

 Not having a die set means you do lots of fiddly cutting with things like vines. I am still singing the praises of my Cutter Bee scissors though. Those vines would not be happening without them.

The only thing I have not used yet are the stick on sprinkles that came with the kit. I've still got a ways to go with this month's cards so I am sure something will turn up. It always does.
