Charity Box

Hi Everybody,

So I have been busy filling up my charity box again with all the cards that are in my craft room that I have made over the past few months.

All will have envelopes with them and be placed in cellophane bags to keep them clean before they go to the shop.

I usually take a box full and in it there will probably be about 100 to 150 cards ... maybe more. It is always something I enjoy doing and I do it regularly.

Now next Monday my computer is going away to the repair shop to have a new hard drive put in it  and I will be out of action for a few days until it is returned to me. Hopefully it will be be back to a complete normal again ... hopefully !!!

I must admit it scares me to death when it goes wrong.

I will try and get as much done to schedule my posts and my Friday Freebies are already scheduled to go out each week till the end of the month.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx 

Charity Shop Cards

H Everybody,

I have been making cards to refill my Charity box and once it is full it will go to the RSPCA which is near where I live. 

I send them all my cards so that they can sell them to raise money and they are always very happy to receive them.

I made twelve altogether and these are some of them.

They have different techniques on them and I have also used up some of my left over die cuts to fill them up. 

For this card I have used an ink smooshed background and both die cuts are rom Tonic

The sentiment on this card is from my own range and the flowers are cut from what was a free gift with a magazine.

On this inked background I have added some script with a Spellbinders stamp that I have had for years. 

This is always a good way to use up scraps and it benefits the charity shop at the same time ....

 win win !!

And I always feel better once I have taken them to the shop.

For this card I have used the left over piece of script background from the previous card and added this at an angle.

The flowers are from a really old Altenew stamp set that I have also had for years and they look really delicate on this card.

Another thing I have decided to challenge myself to, and that is to use up older stamps, dies, stencils and embossing folders that have been forgotten for  long time.

Apart from bringing out new collections in my own range, I am not going to buy any new goodies for the rest of the year, though I must admit to having the weakness of subscribing to the Altenew Craft Your Life kit each month.

So all these cards will be added to cellophane bags, along with envelopes, and taken to my local charity shop and I now have over 100 in my box ready to go.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
