The Cardologists  love to send cards to each other.  Over the years that resulted in my storing boxes of cards that had been sent to me.  In the last year, I started winnowing them out, after taking pictures of them, because one of our friends collects card fronts, has them made into new cards, and sold at their Church.  

Jules, who was able to take the last lot to our friend, mentioned that they never have enough 'thinking of you' cards. I accumulated dozens of cards the Cardologists had made at our Thursday night gatherings.  During Covid, I had used my stash to send cards to all the residents of the nursing home where my aunt resided.   Sadly my aunt passed away this year short of her 91st birthday. So I will box this lot up for our friend. 

Need I admit, I also have loads of unfinished cards or pieces of cards - the kind that I hoard  to make something "later" - so I am using the card project as new motivation to get busy in my stamp room.  Today I finished off four cards. 

Two are made from a pretty napkin that was taking up space on my desk.  The top layer of the napkin is adhered to white card stock with double sided adhesive sheets and then embossed. After layering it on a card, I added a sentiment and sequins.    

The other two cards feature a make-and-take that I did at the 2022 Stamp Convention using flower stencils from The Ton.  This was cut in half and layered on an embossed pink cardstock.  I added a strip of glittered cardstock, a stamped sentiment and sequins completed the cards.

I also have accumulated many cards the Cardologists made at our Thursday night gatherings.  During Covid, I used these cards to send greetings to all the residents of the nursing home where my aunt resided.   Sadly my aunt passed away this year short of her 91st birthday. So my current stash will also go in this box.
