May Card Kitchen - Part 2Today I have the remaining cards I made using the May Card Kitchen kit. Jillibean Soup's Irish Farm House Soup collection played a starring role in the May kit. I just love the rich, intense colors and the whole bicycle motif!  When You Dance The fab sentiment is from one of the Bite-Size Bits (cut-apart journaling cards). I trimmed it down and turned it into a grouping of flags. Each one is curled slightly to give it a blowing in the wind look. There were decorative brackets above and below this sentiment, which were too good to waste, so I incorporated one into this next card. It made a lovely anchor for the strip of bicycles.  Celebrate Aren't those mini clothespins adorable? And the wooden ruler/yardstick background? And the bicycles? Ah, so much to love about the Irish Farm House Soup line!
 Sending A Line An awesome postal themed stamp set was included in the May kit. I used the "sending a line" sentiment here.  Special Delivery A whole bunch of Irish Farm House Soup Pea Pods and stickers make up this little collage. I mentioned yesterday that the May kit is sold out. I'm sure you can see why -- what a great collection of products! For more information on the Card Kitchen, visit The Card Kitchen website. Also, check out The Card Kitchen blog and/or The Card Kitchen on Facebook, where peeks have begun for the JUNE kit. Wow, the end of May sure has crept up on me. Some emails were going around about a picnic during a Memorial Day weekend baseball tournament, and my first reaction was, "why are we planning Memorial Day already?" I'll get my head screwed on right someday - I hope!
    
May Card Kitchen - Part 1This has got to be the busiest Spring on record for the Sheffer family! I personally feel like I've been at a dessert buffet for the past three weeks: everything has been too good to pass up, and I'm left feeling satisfied, but also uncomfortably full. So that's my excuse for not posting my May Card Kitchen cards earlier :) Actually, Kimber has started peeks of the JUNE kit already on The Card Kitchen blog and on Facebook, so be sure to check those out. The June kit is available June 1! But first, some of my May kit creations:
 Bicycle Thinking of You The May Card Kitchen kit was filled with assorted die-cuts (Jillibean Soup's Irish Farm House Soup Pea Pods). I used a bunch of them on this first card -- the bicycle is my favorite!!  Flower Thinking of You For this one, I took a red doily Pea Pod and a bunch of Irish Farm House Soup label stickers and made a flower. I love the wood flag sentiments, and especially that four came in this kit!  Good Times My favorite card this month ... I've been increasingly drawn to cleaner, simpler designs lately.  Thankful There were four of these sweet definition elements in the May kit -- love them!
The May kit has sold out, but for general Card Kitchen information, click HERE. Also, check out The Card Kitchen blog and/or The Card Kitchen on Facebook. I'll share another four May cards another day this week. Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies: The Card Kitchen May kit, doily, white cloud die-cut  Live. Laugh. Love. Happy Thursday, friends. I have another card to share today using Reverse Confetti's fabulous Peacock Pretties set.   I had some fun playing with patterns on my backgrounds. For the sentiment panel, I repeatedly stamped the "LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE" sentiment in an irregular, wavy fashion, then topped it with a fussy-cut, multi-colored feather. On the olive card base, I created another pattern using watermark ink and another Peacock Pretties stamp. Rounded corners, a small strip of patterned paper, and a button with twine finish off yet another CAS card.
