EASY TO MAKE HANDMADE GREETING CARDS

I am a member of weight loss group

and have recently volunteered 

to send out cards to other members

who are sick, have birthdays, etc.

They do not have much of a budget so

I made a bunch of cards up

I found some blank cards at the Dollar Tree

Really nice handmade paper type cards

and found great little cupcake stickers at Target

I already had the other stickers (balloons, party hats)

I had a pack of small paper in vintage design

that I cut in squares, etc. and placed

them in layers under the sticker

Using the handy dandy computer I printed  

out the little greetings: "Warm Wishes on your Birthday", etc.

Glue sticks are holding it all together here. (Aren't those glue stick things amazing?)

MORE OF SWAP PROJECT..JUST IN TIME FOR EASTER

I made a little fancy Easter tussie from some of the pretty things that

were in the o/n case that I remade for my swap project.

Wasn't really sure what to make but 

came up with this idea

all of a sudden

Almost like a light bulb went off in my head

that's how my mind works

when I am crafting

A lot like my late mom, 

in that regard

even like the "I Love Lucy" Lucy

I love the little chicky peeking out at the top

Guess we caught her looking for all of the chocolate!

WISHING EVERYONE A VERY 

BLESSED EASTER !

(HOW TO: I took strong decorative scrap

book paper and rolled it into a cone.

Then glued the seam (in the back)and 

also stapled to keep secure.

Then I filled the cone with tissue paper
(sorry little chicky no chocolate in there)

Finished by embellising with ribbons and lace and 

other pretty things my swap partner sent to me)

MAKING THANK YOU CARDS

Here are a few thank you cards I made in the past. Very easy to do.

1. Start with blank card stock.

2. Fold card stock in 1/2.
(tip: I scored a straight line with one edge of my scissors on the card stock where I was folding it so it would have a neater fold.

3. Place desired stickers on the front of the card and rubber stamp to help embellish.

(The "Thank You" on the cards above was rubber stamped on)

(tip:: Position blank decorative cut out papers under the stickers for nice effect and more color)
