I hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day. I took my Mother out to one of her favorite restaurants in the Boston area: Oleana. I also gave her this card I made:
It's very simple, but very effective. I cut cardstock into flowers and leaves and then used foam adhesive to create dimension.
I enjoy making handmade cards. It takes a lot longer than going to the store and picking one out, but I think the effort is part of the gift. As I create a handmade card, I'm thinking of the recipient and trying to make choices (colors, style, etc.) that I think he/she would enjoy.
How about you? Do you make cards for the people in your life?
Thanks for stopping by!
Yes, I make a lot of handmade cards, but I only give them to people I know that will cherish them. I mostly make them for my DH. Sometimes he will tell me that the only gift he wants for an occasion is a one of my cards. This spurs me to new heights of creativity. And since I got my ScanNCut I am able to make my own embellishments. My ScanNCut students love to make cards using the techniques from the lesson each month.

I’m not so sure it would take longer than picking one at the store. There are so many and none of them ever seem quite right. Obviously I should be making my own. Plus… the cost of retail cards?!?!

I loved making cards but don’t usually have the time now with a toddler. He loves drawing inside whatever I buy though. Does that count?

I have collaged a ton of cards but hesitate to let them go. Afraid they won’t be appreciated or I just want to keep them! 🙂

Yes, I love making handmade cards & I agree with your comment & Bobbie’s about customising them, which is why I do it. My husband has gotten into keeping pet fish & I made a box card with an acetate front & used acetate across the card to support fish brads & cut out seaweed. He loves vex it I really love my ScanNCut & have used it for most cards I make.
