Greeting cards

I did a summer greeting card exchange with another LJ group and realized I hadn't shared here. These were a challenge to make - and I made five!

Brown sugar commercial cardstock
Pink copy paper
Vanilla cardstock and copy paper
Best Birds stamps and dies plus woodgrain background, Stampin Up
Flower border and walnut ink by Martha Stewart
Pink flowers with an old Sizzix die

I regret doing the flower border. The border isn't meant to be standalone, so I trimmed it from the piece of paper that I punched on. Uggghh! I hope the cards were well received!

They are so cute! I bet the labor was worth it. For the longest I've wanted to make my own cards, just haven't found the free time.

Thanks :-)

Card making is time consuming for sure! I find that if I plan it out and just assembly line everything it can go pretty quickly. Having a lot of space also helps!
