Awhile back I discovered Paper Rose, an Australian crafting company.
I've now bought quite a number of their collections & dies.
I can't wait to use them all in my card-making projects.
I find that Australia is a really scrap-happening place!
The Rainbow Village collection is one that I had
specific intentions for making my closest friends
some cheerful cards in the Spring.
And so I've done that!
This collection is so bright & cheerful!
It made me smile;
then I chuckled;
then I outright laughed out loud!
The bright colors & whimsicalness of the collection brings a big smile.
Then you start noticing oddly shaped, fun little houses
and then you see the birds -
this is when a chuckle bursts into laughter!
I just couldn't WAIT to create these cards
and to share this joy with my friends.
Each card has the friend's favorite color(s)
and each has a reminder how 'tweet' she is!
Starting with the purple cards....
Four of my friends love purple.
A recently purchased card die made these cards unique!
I even used crafting magnets for the first time,
to hold the flap down & the card closed.
Here are the individual cards -
First closed; then fully opened.
One friend loves the colors of the sea - turquoise.
The other one loves every shade of blue and mostly when combined with white.
Her's is the only one that I computer printed an inside sentiment.
She's my 2nd Mom.
This one was made for her.
Lastly are the pink & red cards.
I have only one friend whose favorite color is pink
and two who love red.
My very bestfriend in the world loves red.
She's very special to me.
I sure had a total BLAST making these cards!!
From what my friends tell me,
I was successful in my purpose for bringing joy & laughter.
Thanks for coming by to see them.
Have a blessed day!
