A Sympathy Card

A friend at work lost her mom last week after a long battle with cancer. I made this sympathy card for her:

This is the inside of the card - gotta add a little flair in there!

Z Fold Cards

One of my favorite blogs is one by Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty. She makes GORGEOUS cards and always has fun new ideas. Her card on October 20th was a Z fold card so I decided to try my own. I didn't have 12x12 inch cardstock so I had to fudge the measurements a bit. Mine started as a 10.5x4 inch paper. Then I scored at 1.75, 3.5, 7 and 8.75. I adhered fun paper to the outside panels and the inside, created a band that is 8.5 inches x 1 inch, stamped some sentiments and voila! 3 super cute cards:

This is a really cute new birthday stamp I bought at Michael's. Only $1!

I was trying to make this one more manly. The sentiment "party" is embossed with silver powder so it's a little harder to see.

This one is also a little less feminine so it could be used for a male birthday card.

A Few Past Cards

Here are a few cards I've taken pictures of with my phone:

This one was for my roommate's 25th birthday.

Another birthday card for a good friend.

A "congratulations! you had a baby boy!" card.

The Beginning

Well, I finally did it. I've been wanting to create a crafting blog for quite some time but felt too intimidated to do it. I play along with blog sketch challenges but haven't had the heart to upload any of them. I take pictures of my cards but was never able to submit mine for the challenges since I didn't have a blog. But now I do! I'll try to post my creations once or twice a week - even if I don't submit them for a challenge. Enjoy and I'd love any comments you have :)
