Cards, Cards, Cards and More Cards

27 Comments/ 2418/ 0

One of the things I love to do is make greeting cards.  This week I have been busy and have gotten back into the crafting a bit.  Of course it was a challenge with cats who like to be my shadows.   But I persevered.  Click on any picture to start a slide show.

    Like Hillary, I also am honored to have received one of Beth Ann’s cards in real life. These are lovely. And the thought and care that go in to crafting each makes them a gift to be treasured. These cards certainly bless the recipients. Thank you, Beth Ann, for using your creative talents in this way.

      Well thanks!! I am working on hopefully being able to do some for Hospice—-since I never can do the weekly commitment thing for them I am hoping that this will work out. Will know in a couple weeks if it is something we can come to an agreement on as far as what they need. I am really excited about this!

    What fabulous cards! You are talented in so many ways. Do you sell them at craft fairs? I can see your cats are big “helpers”

      Nope–no selling them but hope to provide some for Hospice if we can get approval and the right design. I sometimes have to lock my helpers out of the room—I should have this day for sure.

        I wasn’t trying to be funny. I was stating fact.

      I pulled the Cricut out last week for a few but none of these are them, I guess! I have to really block out time because I have such an incredible mess when I do them –as I am sure you can relate to. I know you have done some amazing things for gifts, etc. and it is a great outlet sometimes! Enjoy your time in the sun!

    Your cards are beautiful Beth Ann, I used to do alot of stamping/cardmaking myself, I have bins full of “stampin up” stamps, pads etc, that I put away when we remodeled, I keep thinking someday I will bring it all out and stamp again. Your butterfly cards are my favorites, you are one talented lady!

    Beautiful cards Beth. One of them gave me an idea for a pillow. I might have to try it and send you a picture.

    I think every card is beautiful, as always. I worked on my cards all afternoon and evening but I don’t get that many done.

      Well yours are much more time consuming than mine are to make. I haven’t done iris folding for a long time but I should do some every once in a while so I don’t forget how to do it!
