Some Cards Made By Me!
I thought I'd share some cards that I made recently. Okay, fine...at least in the last few months...
Above are wedding cards I made for Kim and Ty and Tracee and Justin. They were the couples that had their weddings on the same day in May. They are now married and they probably got my card with their lovely gift cards in them (even with a registry I still can't decide on a gift!).
The one for Kim and Ty on the left (duh!) was drawn in Paint Shop Pro and said something like "It was written in the stars..." or something. I had known from the first day I met Ty and saw him and Kim together, that they would end up together. That's why I had to make that card for them...they are my Luke and Loralei!
For Tracee and Justin, I used different patterns of paper and made a wedding cake. I didn't want to do a couple cake topper, because my cutting skills are not that great, so I made a flower topper. They actually were having cupcakes as their wedding cake, so i thought about putting a cupcake on the card, but I liked this better.
On the right are my Mother's Day cards I made for my mom, Mike's mom, and Mike's two grandma's. I think they turned out pretty cute...I like simple and I like flowers. Perfect for Mother's Day! This was my first time using scrap booking brads, which is what is on the corners of the cars in the upper left and lower right. I am used to using eyelets, which is used on the upper right card for the flower center. Eyelets are very loud...they don't look like it, but to set one I use a hammer and create the hole in the card (with multiple pieces of paper its tough!) and then put the eyelet in and again use the hammer to flatten the back of it so it stays in place...I love the outcome but hate the process because I know it bugs mike and the dog runs away from the room. Oops!
