Kite, Kite, Kite....Boat~


It's the first of the month and a brand new gallery of cards is open, made with a cute new release from The {stamps} of Life called kites2Fly! This is such a fun and whimsical set!

I made a series of 4 cards using similar colors and papers to unite them. The card sizes are all very different from each other; the largest card is 4-1/2" x 6-1/4", the smallest 4-7/8" x 3-1/4", and the ones in the middle are 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" and 4-1/4" square. The lone "goose" is a sailboat made from 2 kite sections and a half circle punch which I saw that immediately when I was looking at the set the day it came in the mail.


This month also marks my departure as a Guest Designer. It's been a blast working with Stephanie and the gang!


Here's each card up close
