Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit #2

AArrrgggg. It's always something.  I used glue instead of tape on the green striped background and it is buckling. This is my 2nd card made from the June card kit.

 
I need to learn to take better pictures.  This card looks much better in person, except for the buckling - I swear.



Belated Easter Carrot Boxes

I made these 3D Easter carrot boxes for Easter using the Silhouette Cameo.  The cut file was perfect .  All the sides matched up and they were very easy to put together.  I've had some disasters in the past so I was relieved and happy these worked out so well.  I put Cadbury mini eggs in them and they held a lot more than I thought they would.  I hope someone has a farm themed or vegetarian themed birthday party because I'll be ready with the carrots!

Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit

This was my first card kit and I have to say it started out as a struggle but I really enjoyed it.  I would never in a million years have chosen the papers myself.  I like bright, happy colors and these were really muted and distressed (dirty to me).  I am a beginner so my card is very simple and plain.  I think it would make a good card for a man. 
 
 
 
 
I can't wait for this nice, long weekend so I can play some more and maybe come up with something a bit fancier.  I was mentally exhausted when I was finished but it felt really good.  Hopefully I'll be back in a few days with a few more cards from the June kit.
