Graphic 45 March Card Kit----Let it BEE

 The card kit contains materials and instructions for six  5'x7' cutaway cards along this theme.  This top one I made for our Grandson's 26th birthday coming up.  The tag in the pocket inside  has a "money band" with  room for bills or a gift card slipped in under a band on the back of the black Graphic  45 ATC tag..

The second card is a general card with a pocket for a message or a tag or a note.  These are done with the papers from "Let it Bee", the March  Graphic 45 Card Club Kit, 2022 On this second card the pocket itself is made from an ATC card.

The third style is a horizontal orientation for the card---and it is  my Anniversary card for Roger on our Sixty Second Wedding Anniversary, April 9!

Happy Birthday Mark

                        This card was inspired by Lisa  Curcio at Lisa's Stamp Studio.   It is a fun-fold card 

that forms a hexagon, with pockets.  There are three areas for pockets in it.  For this card, one insert in the pocket is a personal note, one insert is a stamped sentiment and the third insert is a gift card.  The finished card fits into A2 envelope.  Stamps I used are from Honey Bee "Happy Everything" and from Lawn Fawn's "Happy Everything"  (I managed to wash the "happy" that you see on the front of the card  down the drain when I made this card!  RATS! I will add Stickles glitter, and some die cut stars to the front of this card before I send it to him.

Happy Birthday Mary Lou

 Wishing cousin Mary Lou--a Happy EIGHTIETH birthday!  We should drop a zero, and have a Tea Party like when we were EIGHT!.  

                   You beat me to becoming an Octogenarian (but you always DO beat me --by two weeks! 

The center easel card is created with Graphic45 "Alice's Tea Party" papers and elements.

Alice's Tea Party---Graphic 45

 I am absolutely wild about the new Alice's Tea Party (February's card kit) from Graphic 45, and supplied to me by my favorite store Impressing Ideas in Ocean Park, Oregon.  Here are four of the six cards I will make with these papers and ephemera. A couple of them hold gift cards or money in the pockets in the inside, and all have a nice large space for a personal note.  It's ALWAYS "Time for Tea"  isn't it!

Start of Valentine

 

Pocket Prayer Quilt blocks

 I love to make these little prayer quilt blocks. They're only two inches square, for your pocket or your purse and inside the little block is a cross charm that you can feel.  The sentiment card that gets pinned to them read This "Pocket Prayer Quilt" was made especially for you to slip in your pocket.  Throughout the day when your fingers touch the cross inside the quilt, be mindful of God's love and grace for you.   Keep it as a tangible symbol of God's peace."
