Card Making

Well, this is my first attempt at card making.  I get so many compliments on my pictures, I thought I would do something with them.  Even though my first attempt I only picked one picture and went with it.  I found 6 gold cards and envelopes at the dollar store.  So there is a whole $1, then I got 6 pics done online at Walmart, they were only $1.20.  Had to get a glue stick $1.  The scraps of paper are things I already had here.  I didn't even have to use the gel pens or sticky things, but I will use them somewhere.  So don't over judge.  My cutter was not working properly for me and I can't cut a straight line!  Anyway thought I would share.  It was actually fun.  Now who to give them to and I think I need to make more!

So this is where I started

I was so happy to find these cards for such a low price!

Now after I cut the picture and background to fit card, it was glue time.

There they are mounted.

Then add to card.  That was great glue, but you had to get it right the first time.

So I added corners to spunk it up.

My supervisor.

I am not a good writer, so oh yah love a printer

And just cut them in strips and glued them in, now how easy is that!


The second one I used a striped paper for the background.

Then I found a shiny piece of green, I wish I had more of that one.


Oh now I found some fancy scissors.

Next I used a pink piece and gave the snow a pink hue.

Next a white piece that reminded me of snow. I also added a bow.

And there they are.  I am somewhat proud of my first try.  Fun indeed.
