Happy B-day C, #2

Btw, I figured out who gets which card: the first happy bday c card is going to my sister, chaya. its brown and long and will nicely fit the bar of chocolate i want to tuck inside it. (if you remember, a few weeks ago i made a card for my sister, Brocha, and sent some chocolate with it. my family practically lives on chocolate and books, but these two sisters happen to be in places where good kosher chocolate isnt readily available.) the blue and purple flowery one will go to my favorite oldest sister-in-law (can you tell why is flattered by that? ;)), Chanie, who's birthday is next month, as the colors and girly prettiness match her personality. Today's card will go to my friend, Chanie (all three have names that are popular in the community, and the ch is pronounced like loch), and I can imagine her choosing itmes in these colors if she were shopping. Let's hope my predictions are correct!

Birthday Card- Even Better!

 

A few weeks ago I made a card for my sister Brocha and I was pleasantly surprised when it came out exactly as I wanted it to. This one was an even bigger surprise as it's even prettier than I thought it would be! Woohoo!

It's interesting how I planned on using certain items and techniques and as I was working on the card other ideas came to me or just made sense and really enhanced the card. Also, although you cant really tell from the picture, i diluted a tiny bit of shimmerz with water and then sprayed it on the central flower for a subtle sparkly effect.

Happy B-day C!

This will go to either my sister Chaya, or my friend Chanie, depending on how my second card comes out.

Merry Chanukah WCMd

You can't really tell in the picture but my wink of stella marker (prob one of my favorite craft supplies!) made the word merry really twinkly. i meant to add more light gray to the bottom half of the candles with a marker but i forgot- hopefully someone at papercrafts will do it for me. rather than trying to fit the panel on a folded paper i tied to a backing paper, so there's room to write a personal message but its not a huge, awkward size. happy holidays to all!

I Love You WCMday

 

You know those cards that are fairly straight forward in your mind but just arent working out on paper? And you keep adding more and more and more stuff just to try to get it to look decent? This is one of those. At least I brought it to the point where I dont feel bad for the person who chooses to use this card! And it was a good learning experience and I got to play with a lot of my supplies :)
