PROGRESS: A new cutter :)

So the title says it all ... got a new cutter to help out with getting and giving the right measurements to creating the cards. All along, I have been cutting out cards with a simple sissors and ruler. But, I feel that there is a new progression. So, I am happy to annouce that we got a new CUTTER board, and it would make it easier for me to work with it, and it would definitely make it quicker for me and my card orders .... so it is a wonderful day to be sharing!
Thank you!



My "first" CUTTER :)

The need for progression .... different designs

Here are some cards that I have made for holidays, like easter, christmas etc etc, I am sure you get the drift by now. But once again, my designs are different, and I dont have a template, sometimes I would make an attempt from someone else's cards design, and make it my own, or I will try to make a duplicate, but sometimes I turn it to something of my own ... so here are some ....















So, the card making continues :)

The birthday cards ...

Take a look at my creations on birthday cards...I think they're getting better, right?











Random Cards - Experiemnts

I decided to started to make cards ... different designs and also different colours. Here are some "love" cards that I had made for my hubby, once again, keep in mind that I was able to get to the store to get some things, but still tried to use the sense of purely making the cards by hand and by materials strictly from around the house....












The beginning ...

About a year and a half ago, I was stranded at work. I had no car to get to the store to get a card. That week, I had gotten news that my husband's parents had passed away, and I was far away to attend the funeral or to even be there for my husband, so I was looking through the house, and I came across random materials to make the following card. Luckily I had paper, pens, a computer, printer, and some other materials that I had found to do this card...this was my very first card and I even made an envelope to go with it....


My first card & envelope... made from a computer A4 paper...

I also made a card from a folder and a safeway paper bag ....(see pics below)


There are more cards and designs are different, each and everytime :) But this was a beginning of something that I now, have come to enjoy ...
