Valentine's Day Cards 2013

I was lagging in setting up an Etsy Shop.  I decided to make Valentine's Day cards and sell them at work to see how well my cards do.  

I did fairly well and the sales boosted my confidence to open up my Etsy Shop.  

The best selling cards had this design.  I hand stamped and hand cut all of the bunting.  I used a small hole punch to thread the string through.  

The sentiments were printed on my color laser printer using coordinating colors.  

Holiday Card 2011

I had a pack of left over holiday patterned papers from the previous year.  I don’t remember where I came across the wreath design, but I did remember to draft it in my journal.  I did purchase color coordinated rhinestones, but this year was way too hectic and they didn’t make on the final product.

MATERIALS:

• 1″ scalloped edge circle punch
• 4 different holiday patterned paper
• 1/2″ wired gold ribbon
• Stamps and ink
• Clear embossing powder
• Embossing heat gun
