| I love to make handmade cards! I have given away or used myself most of what I have made. I recently decided to start scanning them to this webpage so I don't have to reinvent the wheel every time I need a "new" card! More to come! If you have an idea for me or feedback on what you see here, please email me at [email protected] |

| Father's Day - another one I made just messing around with scraps and my new letter stamps. I have discovered that vellum tears really pretty if you tear one direction, but if you tear it 90degrees to that, it tears VERY boring as evidenced by this card. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My nephew's birth annoucement. This was a digital picture of him converted to black and white. I then applied the 'photocopy' filter in Adobe Photoshop and printed on vellum. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is my Christmas card for 2003. I found the design on the Heartprints Gallery (www.heartprints.net). It's made up of blue paper stamped/embossed with white snowflakes underneath white vellum stamped/embossed with white snowflakes. The snowflake charm is actually a white button with glitter on it I found at Michaels in the Christmas dept and I snipped off the "hole" in the back. That, plus the bows/ribbon, are attached with a glue gun. The whole assembly is then stuck onto a white card. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This one is made with metal rimmed circle tags from the office supply store - a bit pricey at $6.50 for 50 tags. I pulled the jump rings off the tags and attached them to the red background with silver eyelets. Then I stamped them with small Christmas-y images. The 'season's greetings' was just printed on my computer on white cardstock and cut out. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This card is so cute and so inexpensive to make. I used some Making Memories charms as my embossing pattern and dry embossed the vellum. Then, I trimmed around the bottom and used a tiny dot of glue to adhere to the red background. I cut slits through both layers with a craft knife and threaded the 6" piece of ribbon through and tied in a double knot (covering the glue). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Welcome Baby - This has a little tag that slips in and out of a vellum pocket. The fibers at the top of the card were really soft and snuggly. I made it for a guy in my group whose wife had a baby and we had a shower for him at work. It was hard for me to make a card when I didn't know the baby's name or even the sex!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Snowman - Normally would have 4 eyelets - wasn't complete at scan time. I stamped/embossed the snowman with white ink and white embossing powder. Then, colored in the accents with markers on the wrong side. On white cardstock. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gift bag for giving cards to teachers, etc. for Christmas gifts. Tree design shamelessly lifted from my very creative friend, Lynsey! :-) Tied up with plaid ribbon. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Flag - I made this one in a class at the Great American SB Convention last June. Self-explainitory | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Name - I made this out of some scraps I had handy after I got these little letter stamps. I just wanted to try them out. I think this would make a cute gift - sets of these. And they are WONDERFUL for using up scraps! I think I'll make these for both my girls some day when I have some extra time (yeah, RIGHT!) so they can use them to write their thank yous for Christmas/birthday gifts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Baptism - this was Jenna's baptism invitation. It was 2-step stamp set. I stamped the leaves/stems with bleach, then the daisy flowers with bleach then let dry. Then re-stamped the daisy flowers in pink. You can tell a few places where the ink was bleached out. I think this was because the bleach was not TOTALLY dry in those places. It *felt* dry to the touch, but maybe I should have let them dry overnight anyway to be sure. Could have been slightly damp in there somewhere.
