Custom Cards

My Chiropractor is a great guy, I spend a lot of money to see him every week and he supports my business in return by ordering cards at every special day that comes. I try to make more than one at a time because you never know when you are going to need another one. It is always good to have a few ready to go.

This occasion he needed a Birthday card for his beautiful wife. I made the two on the right so he could choose, and the thanks card was another order from a friend for her mom to thank her for letting us have preschool at her house until the real location was restored after a flood. The pictures truly don't give them justice. They are so much more vibrant in real life. Either way you get the idea.

Thanks for visiting.

Fun Florals...

I had to go to the Scrap Yard {my Lss} yesterday to restock my flowers. I used so many on these new cards that I had just about depleted my inventory. I spent almost $100 on flowers. I know that seems excessive but I do have to make a whole bunch more cards for the flower shop I supply in Dewinton. I need to go see her within the next week or so, bring her new cards and see what she has left from the last drop off I made.

I really fell in love with this paper and these colours. I used them quite a bit and I am sure I will continue using them for a little while longer. I did get some purple stickles. I realized that was just about the only colour I did not have so I got a couple and I am going to use them with the new purple flowers I got yesterday.

The stamps are CTMH, Prima Flowers, and some misc. stickles, gems, ribbon, and card bases. The cards are 5X5 and I die cut the sentiments with Nestabilities.

Thanks for coming again :)

A couple more...

So today is the day after the trade show. I must say I was highly disappointed, there was not much traffic. I got a few contacts for future customers, but not much in sales. I did get a lot of compliments on my different products, it is nice to hear that you are good at what you do, I could have really used the money. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. It still remains to be seen, whether or not I won this one. lol.

I added a couple more pictures of my latest creations. I am looking forward to Tuesday this week, I am going to restock my flower supplies at my local LSS {The Scrap Yard} I love that place. I used most of a containers of flowers when I made all these cards. I "Need" more. lol.

I think I may have to get some purple Stickles, it seems to be the only colour I am missing.

See you soon!!

Happy Mother's Day

Well the big show is tomorrow and here are a couple of the little gems I hope to sell while I am there. With everything that has gone wrong around here lately I am really hoping for a good turn out and great sales. I don't think I have ever spent as much money on fixing things than this month. lol. If you look at yesterday's post you will see pretty much how I made these cards as well. My computer has been crashing so I have no idea how long I have before this thing goes... again!
Thanks for coming

Fun Floral Birthdays

I am participating in a trade show this weekend. I have been working on the jewelry part of my booth for about 3 weeks but only got started on my cards yesterday. I made 24 so I will have a few things to show you {finally} over the next few days. I found this really great paper in the discount rack at my LSS. I just fell in love with it. I can not believe that I never noticed it before. Maybe it was because I spend most of my time looking at the paper in the discount bin hoping for a treasure. lol. I guess I finally found one. I have a few products from CTMH on these. The cardstock, stamps, pin, and ink. The ribbon is from an old ribbon share, I got them over a year ago now. I used some stickles, gems and dew drops. The crowning touch is of course these new Prima flowers. They are gorgeous, and I NEED more!! lol. I hope my LSS still has some left.

I started with some 5X5 card bases. I cut out the paper and adhered it to the bases. I added ribbon, the flowers on top of that, and added a few little gems or dew drops here and there. I die cut some bases for my sentiments with my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities. I stamped them added foam squares to the bases and attached them to my cards. I then added a hint of stickles for some bling.

I guess that is about it!!

Thanks for coming by :)
