Here are two designs that I made for a baby shower gift. A friend of mine is having twins, so I made her two sets of thank you cards (one boy and one girl). I also included a picture of how I wrapped them. I was very pleased with this gift, and I think she liked it too!
I've been doing a lot of thinking about ways to make a little extra money on my hobby of card-making. I had a booth at a local boutique here in town, but the sales were down, and I was spending more money on rent than I was bringing in. So, I've been doing some research and am thinking of opening an Etsy store. I can list everything I have made up right now for about $8 for 4 months, which is a lot cheaper than the $60 a month I was paying for my booth rental. If I sell just a few cards, it will pay my listing fee. I will have to do some work to get pictures taken of my cards and get them loaded, but I'm hoping to get my store open in the next few weeks, so check back for my grand opening announcement!
This is a card I made for a friend of mine who just had a baby boy!
This is one of the set of 20 cards I am making for myself to use as thank you cards for baby gifts!
Here are three more cards I made a couple weekends ago. Thanks to my Mom letting me rummage through her paper for these great cards!! I should be putting about 25 new cards in my booth this week! Very exciting!! The words are stamps I got from my Close To My Heart workshop. I love these stamps and think they make terrific cards!
Here are the cards I made last night. I have been taking a simple approach to the cards I have made recently. I have purchased some great paper and have really just wanted to show it off in my cards. All I am really doing is inking the edges for a distressed look and stamping words for a very simple card!
Here are a few cards I made last night. The first one I made a few days ago and gave to one of our friends who just had a baby girl. The thinking of you card is actually part of an 8 card set that I will be putting in my booth.
I put these cards together last night. The last picture is my "signature" I put on all my cards. I love the new paper I have purchased. I'm really having fun putting these together!
I put these cards together last night. They're pretty basic, but I like them! My booth is getting a little low, so I'm trying to get it stocked up!
I am so happy with this layout!! These are my starbucks pictures from Nassau on our cruise. I had picked up some of the brochures there and they matched my paper perfectly!
I'm working really hard to get my cruise scrapbook together!! Here are the latest layouts!!
Here are a few more cards I did for Valentine's Day. I haven't checked my booth in a couply days, but I'm hoping they did well!!
Here is the scrapbook layout I completed at a Close to My Heart workshop on Friday night.
