Card - So Grateful Friend

Here is another friendship card I will be giving out. On this card I used the flowers and stems I had been experimenting with using the Kaisercraft Watercolor Friends stamp and die set. This set is a layering stamp set with 3 stamps for the flower and 2 for the leaves. The idea is to use one color, often the lightest, for the base shape and subsequently darker colors for the next layers. I used a lighter color for the base, darker for the petal definition, and instead of black or dark brown a metallic yellow. I ended up stamping the yellow 2 to 3 times to get the coverage I wanted. These stamps are pretty easy to line up and I like that the flower doesn't have a uniform shape as this makes it much easier to line the die up correctly.

Have a wonderful friend filled day!

ATC Flower Large #54

#597 Flower Large

This is the ATC flower I finished last evening. I'm all caught up with posting my ATCs, yay! Now I will need to make some more...

I made and sent some Happy Mail and my intention is to start posting the envelopes before the content in order to give the recipients a few more days in which to receive their Happy Mail. That way, even though they know it's coming, they will be surprised.

ATC Flower #49

#552 Flower Large Multi

These two are a bit different, both have multiple flowers. I'm not sure I like #553, it reminds me too much of fuzzy caterpillars.

Have a great day!

ATC Flower #48

#550 Flower Large

The next few posts are going to be flowers, and then there will be several posts of cards I made for the restaurant staff at the hotel Laudenella, Switzerland. Most of the cards, from this post through the restaurant card posts, I gave away to hotel and restaurant staff and to airline stewards and stewardesses. I enjoy giving my cards out to people who have been really helpful, to random people, and to people I like.

#551 Flower Large

It never ceases to surprise me how happy people are to receive a card, especially when they have been watching me doodle one. Sometimes it takes them a few minutes to understand that I don't want anything in return. It seems that it is more unusual to be given something without any expectations of return than I realize. I get joy from giving the cards out and that is good.

Have a beauitful day!

ATC Birthday

#548 Happy Birthday

These two ATCs went out with Birthday Happy Mail. The names were in the empty part of the leaf. I scanned them before putting in the names so that you can print them out and write in a name :) Enjoy them.

Have a happy day!

ATC Flower #47

#546 Flower Large

Here are two flowers that I doodled in April. They finish 2016's first quarter of ATC's. My backlog of cards is getting smaller, but in the meantime I'm making more.

I want to use some hand-lettered quotes in the album I'm making of our vacation. So... I am doing some experimenting and making some ATCs with quotes. Some quotes are applicable and some are just for fun. I will post them after I'm caught up... That's funny, since I keep creating, I'll never be caught up on posting.

Have a creative day!

ATC Birthday and Mother's Day

#544 Happy Birthday

The two ATCs today are special flowers for special people.

The bottom half of the leaf on the Happy Birthday card is blank so you can print it and fill in a name.

The Mother's Day card is the last ATC I gave my mother. She really liked receiving the cards and often printed them off of my blog onto 8.5 x 11 photo paper. Sometimes she colored them in Photoshop before printing. She liked having lots of color in her environment.

Have a lovely day!

Birthday Card Envelope

Front

So I had loads of fun decorating my daughter's envelope for her birthday card. I finally finished her card the day before her birthday. Then it was the weekend and I couldn't mail it, so I decorated her envelope. Hopefully she will enjoy her belated birthday card.

Have a wonderful day!
