Looking at cards on page FOUR: Shakti, your pink & blue cards are really pretty. Great work with your "shoe box cards". I like the angled washi tape. It makes a nice background for any sentiment. I love the blues on the damask one and the scenic one is really pretty. The birthday cards from the kit are bright and cheerful. I like the layering to make each unique. Love the soft teals and how you used the ribbon on those CS kit cards. melanell, that "maximalist" inside of that card is fun and amazing. I, too, usually ignore the inside of one of my handmade cards until I need to send it, and then I simply handwrite a note and sign it. On this page: Your retreat cards are AWESOME, leeny. Love the bright colours and the glitter.

melanell I love all the extra stuff inside the card you made - so fun! And unexpected. I find it very satisfying to add a LOT of die cuts to a card. leeny I am a big fan of making a stash of sentiment strips and banners ready to add to cards. It saves so much time and energy, and I think it makes it easier to design a card if you can audition a few options for sentiments. It looks like you had a lot of fun and got a ton of beautiful cards made on your retreat The big floral hello cards are so eye-catching.

I made a set of cards inspired by the latest Sheetload design, but I didn't use the cutting dimensions or method AT ALL so I don't know if they really count as Sheetload cards. I wanted to use some old cut aparts that I had, but they were 3x4 and wouldn't leave much of the background showing, especially if I added skinny strips to frame them. It seemed a waste of paper to have a solid background, and I would've had a ton of 2" scraps using 6x6, which is all I had to coordinate with these. So I looked up other "fractured" card tutorials and realized I could cut a 6x6 paper into 2 sets of frames and use up a woodgrain pad with minimal waste. Especially so after I realized that 3 off cuts could be used to level out the dip under the focal panel, like so: May share by jo.blackford, on Flickr I've finished 14 so far. Sharing these now because they were part of the double stuff weekend for team play. I have 10 more to finish. May share by jo.blackford, on Flickr

Here are the remaining 10 cards I finished yesterday using the same method. I used up all of the rest of the woodgrain 6x6, just a handful of usable scraps left! And I used up both of the cut apart sheets, which is the final end of this collection that I kept buying 'just a little more' of to use what was leftover... you know that shopping hamster wheel!

Those are all so lovely -- they hardly look like just the last usable scraps!

Used up a paper pad, mostly on a SLoC, but 4 sheets seemed to stand alone. Here are two quick sympathy cards:
