Cards for Soldiers

[Retta]

Those look great. Still working on mine, I am such a slow card maker

[Gigi]

That is fabulous. Those look great!

[Phyllis]

Elizabeth, those look great, perfect for our soldiers. Thank you.

[Elizabeth]

I finally got these in the mail today. I am going to try out the "sheetload" method that Beanie recommended to make some more soon. I have pretty much the whole weekend to work in my craft room, as long as I ignore the housework that is begging to be done!

Phyllis I can also make cards this weekend..... please let me know where to send them. Can I add theamed one in as well? or do you just want general?

[Phyllis]

Thanks guys.

Beanie, a new theme has been posted on the other board (I haven't had a chance to post it here yet) but is fall themed, either just fall colors, halloween, thanksgiving or just general using fall colors. So whatever you want to do is great. Thank you. I will PM you my address.

Hi,

I had a chance to work on some more cards this weekend. I used the "Sheetload" method (Thanks, Beanie!) and made 8 Thanksgiving cards in just over an hour! Plus one similar Halloween card for my collection. Here is a photo. I will mail them later this week.

[Gigi]

I really like those Elizabeth - they are striking and so perfect!

[Thyme]

They look great Elizabeth

[Phyllis]

Elizabeth, those are beautiful, the soldiers will love them. I've had company all weekend, they're leaving today, and have not been on here. I hope to get caught up today.

Elizabeth, I rec'd your cards today. Thank you so much.

[Elizabeth]

Thanks, everyone! Your kind comments made my day. Phyllis, I'm glad you got the first batch. I will mail the new ones this week. Hope you had fun with your guests.

[Phyllis]

Elizabeth, I rec'd your cards yesterday, love them. That sheet load method is great, I've done that before too. I love the stamps, don't think I've ever seen those, are they SU? Thanks so much.

[Elizabeth]

Glad you got them Phyllis. They aren't stamps, just printed images. I traced them into MTC and created a custom color to match my paper. Easy-Peasy, and quick, too! Keep me posted on the next theme, and I will make some more.

[beanie21787]

I sent a box of 78 cards I know strange number. Plase let me know when you get them

[Phyllis]

Elizabeth you did a great job on matching your paper. I have a hard time getting matches with my printer. Those images are really pretty. I'll be sure to let you all know the next theme but I know Christmas will be coming up real soon, just don't know if she'll schedule more general in between or not. That's what I'm working on now because they will need lots of Christmas cards.

Beanie, wow girl, you've been busy, looking forward to receiving them. I'll certainly let you know when I get them. You should see my scrap area, one side of the room has been turned into a packing area, but I'm loving it.

[Elizabeth]

Phyllis, I have a 5 color HP printer, which may be more accurate color-wise, or maybe its just luck, but I got that color on the first try! I'll start on some Christmas cards, maybe it will help me figure out a design for my own cards. I haven't got a clue yet!

[Phyllis]

Beanie, got your cards today. Beautiful cards, the soldiers and their families will love them. Every time I get a shipment in, I get so excited to open them and look at the cards. They will be on their way to the soldiers by the end of the week. Thanks so much.
