Card Kits

At one of the many garage sales I went to

this summer, I bought a bag full of card-making and scrapbooking kits and papers for $5. This kit was in it. Already open, somebody had attempted to put one card together and given up. They had, instead, decided to keep the envelopes and get rid of the rest.

Being a sucker for a challenge, I followed these (not so simple) instructions, and eventually figured out how to put these multi-fold, multi-glue, multi-confusing accordion cards together. Admittedly, the first one was a little wonky, but by the end, they look quite professional!

The kit consisted of 48 sheets of punch out pieces in 6 different color schemes, making 4 cards of each pattern and sentiment.

On the second day of putting them together, my husband asked why I did not just make half of them and leave the remainder for another time.

My answer was: I refuse to take two different periods of time to figure the how-to process! I know how right now...I will do them all now that I have figured it out, and never do it again!! LOL...

I had to order special sized envelopes on Amazon, but once I get those, I have a very nice collection of fancy cards to send to people I love!
