I make cards

January 20, 2011 by Jane

In the past year or so I have become enamored of making greeting cards by hand. This has resulted in way too much money spent at crafting stores. But I digress. It is also now one of the sole creative outlets I have, along with cooking and baking. Each one is like a tiny personal piece of art. I try to make every card unique, though of course I do re-use certain techniques and supplies. It’s just fun. I think I am getting better and better at it.

I just finished a birthday card for Brian’s grandmother’s 75th. I included several photos of Freya, cropped and mounted, including a picture of Grandma and Freya together last summer. I also made the card larger than the usual A2 size — instead using a longer piece of cardstock so I could do a tri-fold. I’ll take a picture of it before I send it, as I do all my cards. And here are a few I have made in the past year:
