I have been making greeting cards lately and have been enjoying the process although the area around my table looks like a complete disaster. No photos to document, however.
I have been doing Christmas cards but had the occasion to make a birthday card for my daughter in law. I am never going to be so skilled, or have enough supplies, to create these gorgeous, over the top cards I see on the internet but that is ok because part of my desire to make my own cards is to keep them simple. I have a problem with commercial cards because they have too many words. I often buy blank cards for that very reason.
So, I broke from my Christmas card creating to do this --
I made the envelope to match and then learned that it is against post office rules to use heavily printed envelopes. It was fortunate then that I saw the recipient in person and could just hand it to her.
I was pleased with the way it turned out. I have been buying paper packs at Tuesday Morning and love how they all coordinate. Makes it much easier. Next up, along with the holiday cards, is my son's birthday. I will have to go through my packs and see what I have that is masculine. Or silly. Silly usually works!
So, that is my latest creation. I can't show the Christmas cards yet because they are going to a few people who visit here and that wouldn't be fun.
