Make-- it and Mail it Monday--quick and easy style

Actually quick and easy is generally the the theme of my Make it and Mail it posts.  That is one of the ways I can get the card made and in the mail fast.  The goal is to mail more cards out--that are not overly decorated and cost extra to send.  Just a quick little note to let the people I care about know that I am thinking of them!

Here is today's Monday Mailer.....

 

I adore this new embossing folder!  It is a dynamic impressions version--which is much thicker than the original embossing folders and gives a super detailed deep design.  This folder is called Lovely Floral.  It is so fast and easy to create beautiful cards with this.  I just added a strip of the Share What You Love Specialty paper and a sentiment.  Oh yea, and a few pearls just because they are so pretty!

Here are the supplies used for my 5 minute card that is going to a friend who's father is not doing well and they just called in hospice.  So hard.

Make it and Mail it Monday--a sad one.

It  is with a heavy heart that I create today.  I am so sadden by all the wonderful, bright and  talented people who are losing their lives to overdose!  I am sick to death of it, Friday was the fourth funeral  I have been to to say goodbye to someone way too soon.

With tears in my eyes this day after Mother's day  I am creating a card for a friend who just lost her beautiful  daughter to this horrible epidemic.  When will it stop?

The colors for Overdose Awareness are purple and silver along with a butterfly, hence my card for today's Make it and Mail it Monday....

here is the inside of the card.  

I am so sad about how many times  I have used this Ribbon of Courage set.

It is one I will need to hold on to as it seems that each and every day I hear of another person who has cancer or has been taken by overdose. So sad--seems that we should be able to stop both of these things--especially cancer with all the money and time spent on it. Prayers that solutions and cures will be found SOON.

Make it and Mail it Monday!

Happy Monday!  I am ready to make this a fabulous week--I am super busy with all types of things and some days are overbooked--go figure--but I will get through it all with a smile on my face!  Spring is finally here and I have seen some sun--that makes everything OK!

Today's card is for a friend who is always reaching out to me--even though we do not see each other that much any more.  No matter busy she is she always checks in with me if she does not see much on Facebook, blogs, texts etc.  She is the sweetest and one of those friends that you know you can always count on!  Love her.

As with all of my Monday cards the goal is to make it quick and get it in the mail.  I chose to use the fun Sprinkles of Life set since it will be retiring soon and I have not given it as much love as it deserves.  So many cute ideas can come from this set.  I think I will play with it some more for this week's posts.

Here is her card....

As I said quick yet really cute, right?  I hope she likes it.  But then again, who does not like to get happy mail mixed in with the junk and bills?!!

Check how cute this set is below--can be used for many different cards.  If you like it -- you better get it soon.  As per usual...

Make it and Mail it Mondays.

Happy  Monday my friends! Today's card is for an elderly friend of mine who is really struggling with life  in general. So sad how that happens so much to our elderly.  They feel so alone and wonder what life was/is all about. So I thought I would send her this card to remind her that I am thinking of her.

I used the Petal Passion designer paper--it was  so fun and easy to color. The flowers were already shaded so you could literally just  color in one shade and it looks like you are a pro!  Love that.  Isn't it just stunning?

I actually  felt bad covering up the center of it with the sentiment.  Which by the way  is from the Rose Wonder stamp set that is about to retire.  So many great sentiments in that set.  Love this verse.

As with all my Monday Mailer cards--it was a quick and simple card--get  it made and get it out!   That is the whole idea of these cards.  I hope you can find some time to make someone's day by sending them a bit of love in and envelope.

Here are the supplies used on this card...
