Completed project: Cards. The mailing kind. #12projects12months
This is the fourth project in my project a month challenge (that I gave myself.) And this involves a couple of completed items. Cards.
I’m all about DIY wherever I can do it (within reason.) Creating DIY birthday cards or a DIY thank you card is something that is fairly attainable for me (and something I used to do more frequently.)
I caught the stamping bug again a few weeks ago. It may have been related to Project Life teaming up with Stampin’ Up. They’re both companies I adore. Whatever it was, it motivated me to drag out some stamps and make a card for my grandma. Her birthday was the weekend after Mother’s Day (whyyyy couldn’t I get my act together before Mother’s Day, I will never know.) Anyway.
That same weekend, I busted out another card for our daycare provider. It encompassed teacher appreciation, her birthday and Mother’s Day. Just a giant “thank you” card to show her that we really appreciate her.
I’m not able to find the direct links to the stamps (they may be retired), but I kept it simple, quick and got the job done. I’m happy with how they turned out, even if they aren’t the most extravagant cards in the world. They saved me $5 per card. 😉
(I’m also working on Father’s Day cards because I really want to make use of all of my supplies!)
This happens to be project 4 in my goal to complete 12 projects this year! See project 1 and project 2 and project 3 in previous posts.
What are you working on right now?
I am just starting to make cards. Your cards are very very nice.
What a great idea! I’m not too crafty and every time I try kids end up getting up, or coming to see what I’m doing! I would love to do this!
They came out awesome. You must be so happy! I would love to get one in the mail!
I am working on cleaning my house 😉 Not artsy stuff here… BUT I will say these are so cute and you did a fantastic job!
What a nice turn out. These cards are super cute.
Like your cards. I am thinking of starting this.
Your cards came out so pretty and unique! I need to get back into the habit of making cards myself, it’s such fun!
I used to make cards…your inspiring me to make my own cards again. Thankie!
I should set myself a project goal. Clearly just thinking about and wanting to isn’t getting my butt in gear!
Those are adorable stamps. I love a good cursive handwriting!
These cards are really lovely! I can’t believe you did them yourself and they aren’t storebought!
My cousin makes cards that my mom always buys off her. They’re so creative and ever-so pretty. I wish I had the talent (and time) to do something like that.
I’m not a very crafty person but these are super cute! I might just have to try making my own cards to add a personal touch!
Your cards are so cute! I use to do card stamping, but haven’t in years. It is such a fun hobby!
Those are beautiful cards. Very creative and talented. I would love to be able to be more crafty and creative. I am working on getting my house back in order after a major remodel. Almost done.
Good luck w/the Father’s Day cards! If these are any indication, they’ll be gorgeous!
Those are beautiful. Someone will be thrilled to receive your handmade card in the mail.
I have a lot of card making supplies. I need to craft and actually finish them. Those are cute!
Glad to know that I am not the last person on earth that likes to put something in the mailbox. These are super cute!
Wow! How beautiful! I would never have know that those were homemade.
those are GREAT!! WAY TO GO!!
I go in spurts in card making, its been a while….
