Multi-purpose

I think guy crafts are hard to make. Especially b/c they most likely won't care about the work you put into it or how cute it is. But on http://www.papercraftsmag.com/ I saw a husband-card with ties on it, so I thought that was cute. These are for Father's Day.



I'll figure out what to do with this one when an appropriate occasion arises. All my cards are usually blank inside.


Probably will just be a "hello" kind of pick-me-up card, but could be a birthday card or something. I have a hard time with my cards coming out wrinkly b/c of the glue I'm using. It looks cheap and bad, so I'll have to buy some better glue next time around. I don't know what kind is good though.


For a wedding.


The card I used as my inspiration/copycat piece puts the recipient's initial in the box, so I might do that, but this could go in many directions.



I see so many adorable cards that use stamps and other embellishments. You could spend a million dollars on all that stuff. "If I were a rich man..." or woman...I would be so excited to use such cute tools and make such cute things! But I think you should be able to make cute things without all of that. Some things really help though and I want to increase my arsenal as time goes on. Right now I'm just beginning, so I'm using all my scrapbooking papers and supplies.

Birthdays

Zara's 1st b-day party invites. I actually came up with these by myself; you can tell, b/c they are much less involved.


Most of my ideas are currently either directly stolen or very inspired by:

I think it's a good idea to make a few at a time. I like to have a bunch on hand for different occassions that come up.


When I decide who to give this one to, I'll put the number of what birthday it is for them- for example, if it's for a 16th birthday I'll put "16th" in the circle.

Floral greetings
