Note Cards

Mary at cardztv made these note cards awhile back.  We had a family reunion about a month ago and I thought it would be fun to make all of my women relatives a set of their own.  I made 4 for each person and then made a purse from the Forever Young cartridge for the cards to go into.  Everyone loved them!!  I have even sold a few sets to people who received the note cards from a relative.

Here is a card I made for a couple who are customers of my husbands.  They are celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary!!  I used the Wild Card cartridge and I think it was cut out at 5". I used a little brown ink around the edges and applied some over the embossed front with my finger.

Patchwork Quilt Card

We are on our second week of vacation and today was overcast, humid, and a little rainy.  So I took advantage and made cards all afternoon!!  Yippee!!  My friend Mary at cardztv (http://www.cardztv.blogspot.com/) made this patchwork quilt card today and I just had to try it.  Thank you Mary.  She is such a creative women and I have learned so much from her.  This card is for a very good friend at work. I hope she likes it.  I really thought it turned out great!!  Now that I have made one, the next few should be easy and I will try a few new things!!
