$3.00
Giving a card to someone is usually very special, and a handmade card makes the occasion even more unique!

Another handmade little card that would be perfect for a friend. The front cover is pastel-colored and paisley decorated cardstock in light blue, deep rose, tan, and mauve with a pink houndstooth pattern inside. There is a Kraft brown paper card inside this one, with lots of space for writing. Also on the front are a die-cut mauve flower with leaves, a fern frond, and a dictionary definition of LIFELONG. Three of the Kraft paper pages are blank and one has FRIENDSHIP in handscripted blue on the inside top.

There is glass glitter sprinkled on the front, too, and some yellow and light purple pansies. The card measures 5.5 x 4" and comes with a matching Kraft brown envelope!

Great card to let a friend know how special they are! It's less expensive than Hallmark, and always more personal than a "store-bought" card, too!

SPECIAL: One card for $3.00, or any two for $5.00! If you purchase two or more, please wait before you pay, and I will adjust the invoice accordingly!

PERFECT FOR YOUR VALENTINE!

Giving a card to someone is usually very special, and a handmade card makes the occasion even more unique!

This card made on sturdy vintage-look cardstock with a white lace on deep rose background design. The inside front and back cover design is tiny tan crosses on pale yellow.
On the front is "I Love You" in handwritten script in a deep reddish-pink. There are two sets of pink roses with leaves above and below the words. Along the left-hand side there is a whole row of these flowers down the side. The outer edge of the front cover is scalloped and has a ribbon going from top to bottom in the same color as the script. Everything on the front is sprinkled with clear glass glitter (except the words) and then laminated. The edges of the card are "aged" to make it look more "vintage".

Inside there is another folded insert of Kraft brown paper that you can write lots of words on if you want, and on the inside paper that faces you when you open the card there is a quote in green script framed by vines. It says, "There's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream" by Clement C. Moore.

This card measures 5.5 x 4" and comes with a matching Kraft envelope. Is there someone who needs a little reminder of your love? Then this is the special card for you!

MY INSPIRATION GREETING CARD

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:11:03 -0500

$3.00
Giving a card to someone is usually very special, and a handmade card makes the occasion even more unique!

This is a handmade card (by me) that is designed to be given to a friend or loved one. It is made from lovely acid-free vintage-looking cardstock in a tiny calico flowers pattern in rose, mauve, tan and light blue colors. There is a very pale light blue with tan polka-dots inside, and a second folded piece of brown kraft paper. It has a mauve, yellow and tan die-cut flower with light and medium green stem and leaves on the front with a piece of tan dictionary ephemera with light blue typewritten words behind it. Up in the right corner there is a butterfly in like colors. The flower petals, leaves and butterfly are lightly sprinkled with clear glass glitter and covered lightly with laminate.

The inside cover and inside back cover are plain with the design described above. The Kraft paper in the middle section is blank on three sides, except for a little flower in the corner of one, so you can fill it up with your own words, if desired, and one side (the one you see when you open the card) has a small cut out dictionary definition of the word "INSPIRE". The card measures 5.5 x 4" and comes with a matching brown Kraft envelope.

Do you want to let someone know they have inspired you in your life? Then this one-of-a-kind card will say it for you in a subtle but pretty way!

SPECIAL: One card for $3.00, or any two for $5.00! If you purchase two, please wait before you pay, and I will adjust the invoice accordingly!
