Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog and the cards I created. It was a rainy day in Southern Ontario, which makes for a perfect day to do laundry and some paper crafting!
It's been a while since I have made greeting cards. I've mainly been working on scrapbooks. It was fun getting back into making cards.
This first card is a little out of my comfort zone, but I love the way it turned out. It opens like a pamphlet, a little different than the usually one fold card.
Above is a picture of the front of the card fully closed.
This is what the card looks like once it is opened. What's nice about this card, it can be sent to either a male or female.
When I make cards, I usually make more than one of the same design. I feel I am being more productive. I changed the sentiment on some of the other cards to a Happy Birthday greeting. It is nice to have cards readily available, instead of trying to make a card at the last minute.
Main materials used:
Kraft Paper
Patterned Paper: K&Company - Carolyn Gavin
Papertrey Ink Stamps: Background Basics: Retro, Everyday Classics
The second card uses felt, something I have never used in either card making or scrapbooking. I think I'll have to make a trip back to Fabricland to get more. I know I will definitely be using it more in the future!
Any sentiment can be used for this card as well. I did not stamp a sentiment on the additional cards. They can either be used as a plain note card, or I can stamp the appropriate sentiment when I need to send to the card.
Main materials used:
White Cardstock & Kraft Paper
Patterned Paper: K&Company - Carolyn Gavin
Fabric Store Felt
Papertrey Ink Stamp: Green Thumb
Nestabilities Label Die
Quickutz Flower and Leaf die
Bazzil Button and crochet cotton
Well, that's it for my first blog post! Hope you enjoyed the cards I have made.
Thank you for stopping by....until next time!
