The kitchen table is set up for a session of mass production this afternoon.
One of my friends is hosting a MacMillan coffee morning later this week and I’m donating a batch of cards for her to sell. I’m sticking with a tried and tested (and simple) design that can easily be adapted to make two dozen cards, in a variety of colours, without them looking too similar.
This was the result of last week’s masking class, for those of you that showed an interest. Not my usual palette, but it was fun to work with all those bright colours.
These were the other things we made. I’m hanging onto flowers and sunshine for a little longer, before starting the inevitable “seasonal” crafting.
I’m linking up with all the other deskers over at Julia’s place.

What lovely cards and such bright and cheerful colours!
I hope your friend raises a good amount of money with her coffee morning. Macmillan is such a worthy cause. I worked as a Palliative Care specialist for many years but I wasn't paid by MacMillan, they only had funds to pay a certain amount of nurses. I was paid by the local hospice. The more coffee mornings there are, the more nurses can be paid to do the work.
Thank you for letting me peep over your shoulder.

Hi Fiona, hope the Coffee morning goes well. Gorgeous cards, love the bright colours. Seasonal cards- trying to poke myself into action here, got as far as looking on Pinterest for inspiration, lol. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #25 xxx
I bet they'll go down a storm! Best of luck with it
Lovely cards! Love the bright and cheery colours. I am sure they will sell well at the coffee morning:)
Some lovely cards there, Fiona. Trust the coffee morning goes really well, and all your cards are sold to raise the necessary funds.
Take care. God bless.

They're fabulous Fi, and I'm sure will be snapped up so quickly.
I love the bright coloured card! But then I like everything you make :-). The lovely sunshiny makes in the last pic are a perfect antidote to the 'ch' word!
Julia sent you a message, the 21st is good :-)

Hi Fiona, happy WOYWW - oow I do like your card, gorgeous and bright and the little box so cute. Hope you had fun with the mass production and that your friends coffee morning is a success. Cheers and enjoy your week RobynO#29
The cards are gorgeous, and should go like hot cakes - along with the other hot cakes at the coffee morning! Hugs, Chris # 14
Hope the coffee morning goes well and I am sure your lovely cards will fly out. Not long now till I get to do one of your lovely classes xx
Great cards. I am also intrigued by the book collection in the background. Love colors in those covers. Creative Blessings! Kelly #66
you'll be taking orders after..such lovely cards x hope the coffee morning goes well x
Hi Fiona,
The card you made for your friend's party is very sweet. When I find a design I like I definitely see the benefit in mass-producing.
Even though you say the other cards aren't in your normal color pallete they look fantastic. The one card matches the kleenex box perfectly! There's inspiration everywhere!
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace, Kay (31)
