Small But MIghty

Saturday I held my February stamp class and even though it was a "small" group of ladies, they did a "mighty" fine job creating four all occasion cards.  As they created the cards and selected their own salutations to use it was really nice to hear how they changed them up a little to make them work for the people they planned to send them to.  I read several blogs daily and so many people like their cards so much that they rarely send them.  They are concerned that people don't appreciate them!  I know they take time to make, but most cards can be made for under $1.00 so send them to all your friends and family and don't worry about it...…..sure a lot cheaper than cards you buy in the store, and nicer than the ones from the Dollar Tree🌝

For this class, I selected four card sketches I found on Pinterest.  I probably have at least 200 sketches saved now and even making as many cards as I do for personal use and to sell, I will never use them all.  Here are the four cards we made:

Ninety Cards & Counting

2020 started off well with my card making completing a total of 90 cards!  I probably have at least 35 more that are prepped to be completed at a scrapbook day crop I am going to on February 22nd.
My plastic shoes containers, where I store my completed cards were a little empty.  I am trying to make sure I have a nice assortment of all occasion cards not only to have ready for the store where we consign them, but for my personal use as well.

Here is one that I completed last Friday.  I found some doilies in my stash and it fit perfectly with the sketch I found on Pinterest and was trying to design.  It is amazing as I make these cards how little patterned paper is needed.  Making cards can not only be therapeutic to make, but also cost effective to make with the cost of postage rising.  Most simple and basic cards like this one can be made for as little as $.50!

So start pulling out your cardstock, scraps and embellishments and create a card to someone!  It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face 😄

Happy Crafting!
