The last few days I've been making cards in the evening. First with my friend Sheryl and last night while keeping Ryan company downstairs.
Ahh, owls. Well they were a bit fiddly to make because you have to punch out everything (three layers of eyes, chest plate and the actual owl) and glue them together. They are on stampin' up card stock (kraft) and I simply went around them with white gel pen and stamped an greeting below. The funniest thing was I couldnt find much to put underneath them because those three sets of eyes kept making me laugh.
Congratulations! o_O
Guess who loves you! o_O
And then I had this genius idea and it made me laugh!
This card was just because I had butterflies laying around so I slapped it on, I'll use it to write a letter to one of my nieces rather than as an actual card because it's not good enough for that:
This card was one I saw on the internet and I thought 'quick and simple'. It was the card I made before the owls. I know it is really quite a simple card but it's sweet anyway:
These will likely be used as sympathy cards...but sometimes you need them for other reasons, making them a really useful card. I've made it in blue/brown before but I like this better.
This one I made for my husband's cousin's son (my second-cousin-in-law?) who was turning 18. I really dont much like making cards for men because they're difficult with the stamps I have (and the way my mind works) but I couldnt NOT make one for an 18th birthday:
And this one was made because the middle (greeting) part was left over from the card above. I was trialling different colour ideas and decided on the one above...but actually I prefer the colours of the one below now that I've added it onto some blue cardstock. I dont know if I want to decorate it further or leave it plain.
