2 weeks of card making with Lawn Fawn stamps

Hey Everyone! So, I've been doing some cards a few 4x5 and a bunch of 3x3 (mostly thank you cards that I am going to be giving to family and friends as Christmas gifts). I started these the last week of September. I had ordered a three sets of Stamps from Lawn Fawn. I had seen some on YouTube ( you all will learn I've become obsessed with watching card making and crafting videos on YouTube). The original one I seen was the 'Good Fortune' set. I thought it was the cutest. So, I looked them up and found some sets I thought I would use.

(sets shown above is Good Fortune, You've Got Mail 
and Flying By all from Lawn Fawn)

These sets really stood out for me. The You've got mail I am going to be making an album for my Postcards, I've received from friends and family! This isn't in the works yet because I'm working 40-44 hours a week from Midnight to 8AM at a seasonal motel (ending on Oct 19th) and doing a 20 hour-ish a week Internship. So, I'm super busy plus try to make dinner and spend time with my boyfriend as much as possible.

I stated making 4x5 cards with the Good Fortune set. I like to have cards on hand for when I need them. So, I stamped out a bunch of images and colored some, then cut them all out and began gluing them on. I used yellow card stock (8 1/2x11) and standard white computer paper that I had on hand. I like to have a simple card base and have the images be the focus point.


 front of the card here I also stamped on the card
 On the inside of the card I like to add some paper to write on here I used white computer paper and stamped on it(i was a little stamp crazy when I first got this set) then wrote her a little note to say thank you bc she's amazing!
 Here is the back of the card I like to add a little something to write my name and the date or the year and in this one I wanted to let her know this was the first card bc I knew she would love and appreciate that very much.

 This card i made for a dear friend Ashley (who was the one who got me addicted to YouTube videos) She had told me she mailed me something for my birthday and I was mailing her a few extra stamps I had and don't use. So I thought she would love the first card I made... which she did!! :)

Later, after watching a YouTube video about 3x3 cards, I thought how cute and stamping and making cute 3x3 cards. I love them but the Flying by mini set I've become mildly obsessed with. Most of the 3x3 cards I made with 12x12 card stock I cut it into 3x6 pieces and scoring at 3 to fold it.I had stamped images onto white computer paper and notebook paper for the Flying By set and cut them out. For the Good Fortune set I stamped more images out on to white computer paper and cut them out.

Here are the pictures of the Flying By 3x3 cards they are one maroon card stock. No real order just as I grabbed the cards each card is photographed front, middle, back so you may see how I did each card and changed them up to give a variety of cards. I'm personally giving these as gifts to friends and family. I wanted to have a wide range of different ones.
