Get Well card

I have two more cards left to make for my first order!  Yay!  Tomorrow Joann's is having their 6/$.96 sale on open stock paper.  I am so excited for that.  I have to stock up on a ton of paper so I can recreate some of the cards I've already made.

Here is today's card.  "Get Well".

I used my usual techniques on this card: inking, dry embossing, and powder embossing.  This card is similar to the one I sent to my grandparents but I loved the color combo so much that I had to make another using the same paper.  There are some differences to this one.

Well, I'm off.  It's date night with the hubby!

Adorable cards!

Oh do I have some cute cards to show you tonight!  I think they are ADORABLE!

First, some news though.  I decided it was time to open an etsy shop.  It was actually kind of scary.  All these questions kept going through my mind like will any of my cards sell?  Will people like them?  Are they good enough quality, etc.  I guess that's normal when starting a new adventure.  I'm totally fine now though.

For those that don't know, etsy is an online forum for people to sell their handmade items along with other types of products.  I got my first order the other day and that's what prompted me to open an etsy shop.  I don't have many items to sell quite yet but I'm working on it.   

I have been working daily on stocking my shop and here are the 3 cards I have completed so far:

New Baby Congrats Card

Cupcake bday card

Isn't the cupcake adorable?

Can't forget the little boys!

Boy bday card

So there are my prides and joys for this week.  Not sure what else I will come up with in the next few days but I'll be adding pictures here and posting to my etsy shop as I go.  My etsy shop link is as follows:

Enjoy!

Seeing Spots

I have two cards to post but I'll just post one for now.  This one came from SVG Cuts' A2 Cards for all Occasions.  I didn't have to do any embossing or inking with the exception of on the tag because there's already so much going on with it.  It's a cute card.

 

Smile!

The other day I decided to try and cheer someone up by making them a card.  This person is going through a rough time and I thought she needed a smile.  Here is the card I came up with.

Oh so pretty

Stamped & embossed

Embossed w/Cuttlebug and inked

 I don't think this person received the card as of yet.  They don't live within the state I live in so it may take a few days.  I sure do hope I sent it to the correct address!  It would be a shame for it to float around in mail space for too long.

The flower is from the 3D Flower Collection II from www.svgcuts.com.

I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the flower petals and also the background on the card.

Hope this card made someone smile.
