Australia Day Cards

My blogging OCD wanted this post up yesterday but Blogger wouldn't upload images. Apparently it feels as crap as I do. Anyway, I'm back!

 

I took a bit of a blogging break to focus on crafting and getting stuff sorted and organised, but I'm back with some Australia day cards to share.

Yes, I'm getting all patriotic.

Australia day isn't a special day on a crafter's calender but I thought it would be cool to make some cards just for the heck of it. I had a few bits of scraps that I wanted to use up and thought it the perfect crafting opportunity. I had so much fun making them.

They make for a cute card or postcard to send to friends overseas, don't you think?

 

For these cards I cut my cardstock at 21.9cm x 15.6cm, scored at 11.9cm (approximately).

These cards were ridiculously simple to make. They were inspired by the cardmaking class I attended last year at the Craft & Quilt Fair. They only took a few minutes to make and really are the perfect brain fog friendly cards.
