Thinking of You - 3 KAOS Cards + 1

Hello!

In my last posting I have shown a KAOS card that I received from Oliver. When I received it in the mail, it brought a smile to my face and it sure brighten my day. I wanted to do the same to a few people, so I have been busy making these three cards to send off. (See my last posting for the details on the KAOS award.)

I call these mini cards, because they are smaller than my usual 6" x 6" (15cm x 15cm) cards, but they are not really minis...LOL...more like medium-size card. They are 4" x 6" (10cm x 15cm).

So these cards, I will be mailing to three of the many beautiful people that I have met in blog land: Barb (Stampelicious), Patty Jo (PJSDesigns) and Maz (Only By His Grace). There are so many lovely ladies out, but sigh...I am only making three!!!

The layout and design, cardstock, DP's and embellishments for all three cards are the same. Trying to figure them out is what usually takes me ages to do!!! No way was I going to design 3 complete different cards. Soooo.....these are all more or less the same, except for the Magnolia Tilda image. As you can see here, I've made them into easel cards.





Here are close-ups of the 3 card fronts. On this first one, I have used Travelling Tilda from the Bon Voyage Collection 2010.


Tilda with Pony Tail is sitting on the second card. She is from the Sweet Rainbow Collection 2011.


And the third card has Sweetie Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow Collection 2011 also.




And look! While I was at it, I decided to make a Thank You card for my Swedish young friend in the same style.



And this image is Lying Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow Collection 2011.

ALL these Magnolia images I have used, including the sentiment "Just sitting here thinking of you" are available from Magnolia-licious, your on-line source of anything and everything Magnolia in North America. it is also your best source of the mini-version stamps of these and many other Magnolia images. The service there is excellent!!!


These are a few challenges that I can use my cards as entries to:

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Top Tip Tuesday - Challenge 50 - Easel Card/Easel Box Card
Simon Says Stamps - Multi-fold Cards/Creations

KAOS-award

Woo-hooooo... Look at what I received in the mail!!! Isn't it gorgeous?

I have received an award--it is a KAOS award--from my very creative teenage friend Oliver, who lives in Sweden. Oliver makes beautiful cards and projects and you can see them on his blog here. I am very touched that he has thought of me and given me this award. It's so sweet of him. (Thank you so much, Oliver!) I love it! And it looks even better in real life.

I have actually not heard of this award before, so some details are due here.

KAOS-Award was created by the very creative Yoli.

KAOS(Kreativa Artister med Otrolig Skaparglädje)

A living sign which is sent to someone you appreciate. But instead of having it digitally, you create real cards and send them on. Anyone who may in turn pass on self-made KAOS awards to others they appreciate. Award is said KAOS regardless of who made ​​them. To these be your own style and specialties to be included:

Each KAOS-award includes:
Title: KAOS
Creator's own name
Size: 10x15cm

Then you of course, photograph/scan Awards and blog about it too. In this way, awards a digital memory, but also something you can physically store and look at. The blogger appoints also the next THREE KAOS winners. Maybe write a little explanation of why these latest awards, or just leave the link to them.

So now I am off to my craft room to create 3 KAOS cards. And that's the easy part. The hard part is trying to decide who I am going to send them to. Yikes...I have so many names in my mind--it's almost impossible for me to pick just three. I think I may end up putting their names in a hat and blindly draw 3 names...LOL.

See you soon...well, not too soon...LOL. It'll take me a while to make the 3 cards.
