I received two
hand-made greeting cards today, and made
two in return with the same pattern (recipients in different states). This is sort of cheating, but not really. I’m
working 8 days in a row for my j-o-b coming up so I saw this particular card
project as a two-fer here. There will be NO time to be creative or blog without sacrificing sleep,
hence the condensed card project du jour.
I tried something new (for me) by repurposing the beautiful
cardstock envelope that “real” notecards came in. I cut small rectangles using
my handy dandy Creative Memories trimmer, adhered them with a tape runner, and
found inspiring words in sticker format. One sticker said “dream”, the other
said “play”.
Inside, a thank you stamp was followed by matching script in
colored pen (not pictured). The cards I received are in the lower left corner of the photos, along with a stamped envelope - now that's a good idea!
The last project of the day was a large piece of brown paper that I printed with a
green rolled stamp, but the ink came out too pale - the contrast wasn’t strong
enough. I re-rolled another stamp in a brighter color. My furry friend loves
crinkly paper, and test drove the gift wrap--- good thing the recipients have
furry friends, too!
