Stampin’ JOY to the World: September cards to encourage

Do you belong to any groups that encourage you to share handmade kindness with others?  I do!! They’re all related to card making and motivate me to get crafty even when I don’t feel like it! I didn’t have a lot of spare time last month to make cards for this particular group so I cheated a little and used this gorgeous Designer Series Paper (DSP) as the basis for six cards: 

I added a little colour with water color pencils and a blender pen by Stampin’ Up!, as well as a little sparkle with Wink of Stella! I used left over scraps of paper to decorate and add interest to the inside of the cards:

I posted two within Australia, two to the United States, one to the United Kingdom, and one to Germany and Bianca Bittmaier posted this photo to show it had reached Germany in time for her birthday!: 

During the month of September, I received this lovely card from Vicki Mcarthur Greeves in Queensland: 

And here’s a closeup of the card’s pretty focal point:

I hope these cards give you a little inspiration and thanks so much for visiting me today! Megan xo
