Kerry’s Paper Crafts

Hi there - again, I apologize for the sparse posting lately. We are still in the middle of major house renovations & trying to make our way through it, argh. I’ve got some great photos of the house being painted on the outside - it’s amazing how awesome it looks. Hopefully they will be 100% done this week & I will post the pics here.

Since I’ve been such a bad blogger, I wanted to make it up to you guys with a TON of fun cards - and the best part is that these are for a WONDERFUL cause. I’ve been meaning to contribute to this cause for a while now - but when I was surfing Jennifer McGuire’s blog the other night, I saw that she had posted these digital images available for FREE download. They were created specifically for the Cards for Kids drive by Kristina. She is AMAZING!!

I printed out a bunch of each of these images - they are super fun & are sure to make someone smile. I went a little crazy - here is just a sampling of what I’ve been doing with these images:

This image is my favorite. That sun is just so bright & cheery. I stamped those clouds with a Hero Arts background stamp - it’s absolutely one of my fave stamps. It came out awesome on this teal cardstock.

Another Hero Arts background stamp used on this card - this time it was a Woodgrain.

I added some stickles to this ice cream cone to make it look even more yummy. I tried  not to embellish too much on these cards as I don’t want them to be too bulky to mail.

Cute little caterpillar. I added googlie-eyes to anything that looked like it needed it. Kids love googlie eyes, right?

This one worked out perfectly because I had a bunch of that Spongebob smiley-face paper lying around. Love it.

I am hoping to find some stickers to throw inside these cards & then I’m going to send them off. In case you’re wondering - I just used my regular HP Inkjet Color printer & printed all of these images on white & vanilla cardstock. Super simple.

I strongly encourage you guys to check out these images & see what you can make with them! Anyone can put them together - it makes a great project to do with children on a rainy day. It’s also a great way to use up some scraps of paper or ribbon that you have. And - not that you needed more reasons to love this card drive - but there are some seriously awesome prizes you can win. The more cards you send, the better your chances.

Jennifer is amazing & I admire her for putting together such a wonderful effort for these kids & their families.
