Thinking Of You Card

2/23/2015

I made a few "thinking of you" cards while dreaming of Spring and warmer weather. As I sit here looking out my window at 10 inches of snow and 8 degree weather outside. Our city is practically closed. All the schools are closed and businesses are asked to close early or not open today. I know we're not as bad as some cities, but our whole town is built on several hills and it's very dangerous out.

So, as any good crafter does on a snow day...we either go sledding or craft. Too cold to go sledding, so I made a couple cards for some dear people in my life to let them know we were thinking of them. I've seen a lot doilies on projects lately, so I wanted to add some to mine too...

Minecraft Birthday Cards

My twin boys just turned 12yrs old. Where does the time go? Next year I will have three teenage boys under one roof. Help me now! LOL
I always make two cards, as they're two different people, so they get their own card. Sometimes their cards are different and sometimes they are the same design. This year they are into Minecraft video games, so I decided to make them both Minecraft cards. It's hard to find masculine cards, but Pinterest (click link for ideas) has made it easier to find ideas. You can search for anything, sort, and save your favorites. I punched a bunch of black squares, cut some in half, and made a couple rectangles to create this design. They loved them and I hope you do too! Stay warm and cozy wherever you are, as we're in for more snow.

6 Cards From One Sheet

Do you sometimes need cards fast? Do you make thank you cards? Come see how I took one 12x12 sheet of pattern paper and turned it into six "thank you" cards. I learned from my Mom and my Grandmother at a young age that it's important to take the time to thank people with a written note. I still do that, usually with a handmade card. I have since passed that etiquette down to my four kids and hope they carry it onto their children. Yes, sometimes they moan and groan (as 3 of them are boys), but I hope they are learning why gratitude is important.

Once you have all your card fronts attached you can add little touches. I added some sparkle on the center trees with a glitter pen. Added some flower embellishments to keep it kind of flat for mailing. Stamp sentiment on the outside and inside. In one hour or less you can have six cards made in no time. I had to make more than six cards so I used a few sheets from the matching MME 6x6 paper pad too. If you pick really detailed pattern paper, this makes it look like it took you a week to stamp it all. I always look for a deal on my craft products and usually save 50% or more on whole collections, so everything matches. See below where you too can get daily deals posted to Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter. Have fun!
