Card Book One

Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!

Wait till you see what I've been working on the last week...........

Here's the first Pic...... Can you tell what it is yet?????

Will it's where you open the Card Book....yes I said Card Book.  I'm always showing you my cards and sometimes I show you box's I make to put My cards in... will today I'm showing you a Book I made to store your cards.  And I bound it all together using my Bind-It-All tool.  Just wait till you see how CUTE it turned out!

Here's a close up of the front!

This is the front cover.

Each page I'll show you a view of the book completely Open.

Then I'll show you a shot of the page itself. 

This one is for your Thank You Cards so I named it Thanks!

And you can list things on the front of each.

This is a shot of where you store your cards. 

See the flap on the right is open......

Yes it's an envelop!!!

Each envelop is 6 x 9 inches. Since most of my cards measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 they will fit perfect!

This is the next one of the book open.

It's for Sympathy Cards.

And the next open

It's for Manly Cards and Manly Birthday Cards.

And the next one open.

Yep your guessed it, it's for Girly & Girly Birthday Cards.

and the next one open

This one is for This & That, any special occasion you need Cards for.

And the Last but not Least.........

It's for Bank Cards.. A MUST have...

This was such a Fun project for me.  I made if for a close friend of mine that needed a Gift for a friend of hers as a Big Thank You for all the things she dose for her.... She wants me to add some cards too.... Now who would not just LOVE receiving a gift like that????
Book with 6-Compartments (cards not included) 20.00.
Most cards I make are 3.00 or 3.50 each depending on detail work.
Like anything hand made no two will be alike, maybe very close but can't promise.

Hope you Enjoyed!!!

Green Embossing

Hi Everyone!!

Today I did a simple card but I like the way it turned out.  I did a few different styles with this one.... first I stamped the background using Stampabilities/Star Spangled Background stamp.  Then I used CTMH/White Daisy ink with the flower from CTMH-Treasures set then embossed using clear embossing.  Then I used a sponge and just went over the flower and worked my way out and used a little darker green and did the same thing.  I also sponged all the edges too.

Here's a close up of the front.

This is a shot of the full front.

And this is the inside. 

The cost of this card is 3.00/each, like anything hand made no two will be alike, maybe very close but can't promise.
