I know it has been a VERY long time since my last post! I just really needed to take a break and just craft for a bit.
In that time I have been SO busy! Lately I have really gotten into making cards. I think maybe the best part about that is the almost instant gratification you get from them. As a quilter that can work on a project for MONTHS. Then finally get the gratification of the finished project (or have the project end up as one of those UNFINISHED projects that end up stuffed in a box) it is so nice to actually be able to start on something and finish it the same day!
I have been doing lots of vintage style cards. I will be sharing those with you in the next few posts. I would LOVE feedback on what you think. I am considering opening an etsy store and selling them. So let me know if you think this is something I should consider strongly.
I have also moved and completely revamped my craft room! I gotta say it is exactly what I have wanted and dreamed of for a very very long time and I just cannot WAIT to share it with you. It is ALMOST finished! IKEA is the BEST for craft rooms. I will show you what I HAD and and the new one. I think you will agree it is a MUCH improved room. I spent years drooling on some of the rooms I saw on pinterest for so long! So it was such a blessing to be able to create my craft room using that vision.
I plan to share it very soon!
In the meantime, here is the card I made this week. I hope you like it. Also PLEASE tell me if what you think! I have not been making cards long so still working to find my way.
This card is a wedding card I made. I used Wedding Tilda to make it as well as Pion Design papers. The flowers I got at Wild Orchid, and the punch is by Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page punches.
I colored the stamp using distress ink markers.
I also made this card. This one was a quick one. I love coloring the stamps. But I also enjoy using digital images to make cards. So I try to make each kind when I make the cards and the creative juices are flowing!
As with the first card, I used Pion Design papers. This one is from the Paris Flea Market line. I can't recall the line I used to make the first card. Let me know what you think! I will try to start posting regularly now.
Take care!
