Card Crazy

[bethrich]

DSO Joe keeps talking about learning to make cards and he committed to making one for Mother's Day. I have a book of cardmaking techniques and thought we'd work through it over time. First technique is stickers. He chose the fabulous florals from CS Earth and Herbs. We both played and this was the outcome. He did most of his by himself with a bit of guidance and a false start which I used.

I'd say he did pretty good! Lovely cards!

I have now become the designated card-maker for work and was asked to work in 5x7 instead of A2, so there's more room for people to sign. So I'm starting to build a stash of the types we seem to need most often.

Great cards Beth! I can't get my Joe into trying. I love that background floral paper - have some here somewhere. Maybe you will all get me back to making some cards again.

Joe
And all your cards are great Beth. I suggest coming out to stamp with me to my DH and he just laughs!

Thanks, all, for the kind words.

Joe is a dedicated cheapskate, so he loves saving a few bucks by pulling from my stash. Otherwise I don't know if he would have ventured into papercrafting.
