Father's Day

This year, on my bid to make all the cards I send out by hand, I did a slew of Father's Day cards for my Dad, Grandpa and brothers/brother-in-law. They were all "unique", but fit the same pattern. I used scraps for making the ties (made a cardboard pattern for it), and hand wrote the greeting, hearts, and line.

New Birthday cards

Here are some of my newest birthday cards.

The pink one (I actually made two), is for my niece's birthday.



The green one is for my nephew's birthday.



The Jolly Roger card, was for a little boy that is my son's friend. He was having a "pirate" themed party.

More Cards to enjoy...hopefully!

The text here says "smile". The daisies are made from two flowers (made with a paper punch) layered together with a regular paper punch in yellow for the center.



The black dots are just from a regular paper punch. I hand drew and colored the ladybug, then cut it out, and mounted in thick cardboard to get the "3-D" effect. I hand wrote "Ladybug Picnic".








The center daisy on this one was made by cutting out two handdrawn flower shapes and layering them, and centering with a hand cut yellow circle. You can see it opened below.





The flowers in the corner are cut out from the background paper, and then mounted on cardboard for the "3-D" effect.
