March PPC Paper Pad Challenge

 I haven't done any challenges for a long time, and the PPC challenge is just the right one to start out again.  It is a 'use your paperpad' challenge and I used Basic Grey Serendipity & Shine On pad for these two birthday layouts.  I was able to dig up some old Thickers, leftover chipboard from an old BG calendar kit and a K&Co rub-on.   This is the perfect 'use your stash' projects.

Simple yet beautiful card kits in bulk




With the use of Queen & Co foundation and sentiment dies, I find that it's very easy to make simple yet beautiful card kits in bulk for a fun card-making gathering.   I recently made 30 of these (1 card kit, 2 styles)  for our church's women fellowship, and the feedback from my gracious friends was very positive!   Similarly these can be used for teenage outreach program or nursing homes.   It is a fun way to get everyone together and craft.  

It is particularly useful during this time of pandemic since it's hard to have large group congregate (we don't want any super spreader events though we do want to spread the love) and many gatherings have to be on Zoom.  As we can't share tools in person, having these card kits ready makes crafting a breeze.  It is easy to include a simple instruction or video along with the kits.  I think I will do more of these in the future.
