Cards

These are cards for my one regular customer! I explained about her in the early post I did today.



This is a 5 X 7 card.  I made the envelope with double sided scrapbook paper. She wanted an extra special card for her husbands birthday.  They have been married over 60 years!  


Birthday card 

I made these cards for a lady who buys cards from me.  I would like two or three more regular customers to make cards for on a regular basis.  She buys 5-8 cards form me each month for the birthdays she has for the month.  She usually calls me the last week of the month before so I can deliver them in plenty of time so she can mail them.  She lives locally so I just deliver them to her in person.  She is older and likes the company and I like the compliments when she looks at them!

This is an anniversary card for her son and his wife.


 I have taken the time to put nice sayings on the insides but I didn't photo the insides this time.  I am enjoying using the stamps and embossing plates I have been collecting over several years now.  Also I have a lot of paper so I could stay very busy making cards for a very long time.  I hand paint most of the fronts of the cards with water color.  I really love to do water color but using stamps first on water color paper has been a creative venture for me and I feel they turn out a little better than by hand when I am only doing 3 X 4 pieces of water color paper.
