Christmas Cards

I took some pictures of the Christmas Cards I hand made this year. I had particular fun with the silver paper and snow flake stamps. I used sliver and black ink. I wanted the cards to look elegant, yet simple and also let those who received them how much we care about them during this holiday season. I also didn't want the card to be too wordy. I like saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "holiday" wishes; however I had to make a choice on lettering size and decided to go with "holiday" this year for spacing issues. I tied the cards together with twine, which I think always adds an "old world" feel to any card. I got my stamps at Michael's Arts and Crafts store.

Birthday Card: steampunk

There is something special about making, receiving or giving a hand made card.

Below is an example of a hand made card I created. I did this card in "steampunk" style for my friend, D. L. White's birthday. I tried to include some steampunk elements like cogs and old fashioned type-writer keys, along with hand made paper, twine, and ink stamps. It was a blast creating this card for my friend.
