Hello!
I have been crafting ever since I can remember. I am retired now, and have gotten more into making handmade cards. I have also done some scrapbooking and a couple orders for wedding invitations. I really enjoyed doing them! Also have a few baby items I have made, used to sew all the time, but the cards have taken over now!
Made these for the grandchildren, so they can put their tooth in the little envelope for the Tooth Fairy! There is a tiny piece of velcro attached to the flap of the envelope to close it, Slip the card into an envelope and place under your pillow and wait and see what the Tooth Fairy brings you!
This is a new theme for me to do. Printed the background paper and the image onto glossy photo paper, which was then mounted on textured burgandy papers. Stuffed a feather under one corner and thought that was enough to embellish this card.
a card challenge. The first picture is the front of the card, the shopping bag filled with wine bottles, is 3D. Open the door, and see part of the greeting.
Inside the larger part of the card is the birthday verse.
This was a special card made for three old friends that got together after almost 30yrs. I used a photo I took from our first snowfall this year and a photo of the 3 of them. I did some fiddling and placed the 3 men under the tree and put Santa hats on them all. Then sent it as a Christmas card to the two that were visiting! I think it turned out great!
Made 100 of these for son's wedding. Using a sand coloured cardstock for the base, I then added a layer of handmade paper, with torn edges. Mounted the printed vellum on top. Applied the navy blue raffia and added starfish. I was so happy to find a place in Florida where I could buy 100 starfish for $20!
The one lesson I did learn in making these, is when using square envelopes, the postage costs more.
