DIY Cards
One of my favorite things to do is make my own cards. There are days that I can sit on the floor and make them so long that I can't even move when I try to get up. I love giving people greeting cards, especially homemade because then they really do come from the heart.
I thought I would share with you all some of my ideas because I love browsing everyone else's
Here you go:

| Card Front |
 |
This one is supposed to be a stack of gifts...or maybe a cake...It was the first time I have tried doing pop-up in a card.
|
 |
| This one was designed to look like confetti shooters. I was very happy with it. |
 |
| My absolute favorite way to make cards is by using quilled objects. I really like the dimension that it adds-just not always the best for mailing. |
 |
| A great way to be frugal and make elegant cards is by using paint cards from the hardware store and punching out designs such as this lace edge. |
Bows always seem to a nice feminine touch to any card.
 |
| Slight problem with bows? No Way! You can never have too many! |
Sometimes I will find some cute images online and print them out, use colored pencil, cut them, and add them with some foam backing to make them pop!
The shopping bag idea worked out well with some simple squares, string, an tissue paper leftovers.
Sympathy Cards
Get Well Card
 |
| This one was super easy. Stickers, bandaids, and glittered heart punchouts. |
Love/Wedding/Anniversary
 |
| THE AMORE CARD! This is definitely on my all time favorite list. I used quilled birds and dipped them in glitter after they dried, then applied them to the card and made wrote amore in pretty font. |
Misc. and Blank
