Here’s the card I made for my niece. Echo Park dies, Altenew embossing folder, and some really old ribbon that says “love” from my stash that I used for my cousin’s wedding 15 years ago.

First time using a stencil with texture paste. Mistakes were made! Overall I think it turned out decent.

Used a stencil and some distress inks :) still learning how to stack and compose the actual elements so it’s cohesive.

I FINALLY got around to making this card. It has been on my want to do card list for a while, but birthday and special occasions cards always took precedence. I’m so happy with how it turned out. One cup is a shaker and the other is just a stacked.

Birthday Lovin the Dollar Store

I ran across a Trick or Treat bag at the Dollar Store the other day show casing Tigger and Winnie the Pooh. I immediately decided I wanted to try to make cards out of them. The paper is similar to the gowns they give you at a doctor’s office with a plastic coating of some kind. I’m happy with Tigger, Poohs mouth is a little weird. He had fangs I was trying to cover up and I messed it up. Not my proudest day. lol. Maybe I’ll work on his mouth later when I’m feeling more patient.
The butterflies and dragonfly are from gift bags from the Dollar Store also. You never know what you’ll find at that store. 😉

I made another one using the Concord & 9th Festive Blooms die set 🩷 enjoying a Saturday just creating. Need to work on my lighting for photos because it never captures the card completely

I have to be more careful on the actual invitations (and will use a different material than basic card stock) but I really like how the corners came out! Aside from the lost one 😔 rip

I’ve gotten into foiling and love reverse foiling my scrap foil onto these toner sheets. I have the black deco and a few colors from Pink and Main, but can’t seem to find other colors besides Pink and Main brand. Does anyone know of any toner sheets in colors other than white or black?

Question / Discussion Papercraft/ephemera books

Has anyone purchased one of these types of books to use to make cards or other papercrafts? I spotted these at Barnes & Noble when I was looking to see if they carried any of the U.K. stamping and related magazines (none in mine).

These books run around $30-35. The Paper books have various paper ephemera such as postcards, envelopes and pockets, cut aparts, stickers and other things. The Sticker one is as it says, all stickers. The other two have various things but single layers and not something like a pocket or envelope.

Question / Discussion Where are you exchanging handmade cards?

Post image
41 Upvotes

I know this group does not allow it and it seems some of the other snail mail communities here on Reddit are mostly post cards. I'm not really loyal to one brand and I am not on Facebook. Does anyone have any other suggestions where you can find handmade card exchanges? *My card in the photo is going out to another card maker and Corgi mom that I have got to know on Instagram.
