Chatterbox Card

This card is 5" x 7" -- a nice change. I picked up a Chatterbox Card kit at Michaels today. This one is the Beachhouse Kit and comes with 3 different designs -- a floral, a polka dot and a striped -- all with a different design in the inside, and matching green envelopes. It also came with coordinating stickers, but I'm not a big sticker fan. I think I'll use them for the envelope flap. I took the polka dot card and cut a piece of it to add some interest to the top of the floral card. Aren't these flowers gorgeous? Warm Birthday Greetings is from Impression Obsession and the flourishes are from Papertrey Ink, both stamped in SU's Old Olive Classic ink. I added some May Arts pink polka dot ribbon a some Stampin Up pink brads. You would think that with the cards already made, patterned paper and all, this would have been a snap. But, nope, took a while! I swear every week that I will stamp and post more often. I keep breaking my promises to myself. Maybe next week I will be better!

  6. So very pretty! I keep seeing these card kits, sometimes on sale, but always talk myself out of buying one (I can make them all from scratch, right?)... but I think you've twisted my arm - the colors and patterns are gorgeous. And, of course, your design is way fab, too!
