Other Projects Card Making

Some other things I have been doing is making cards. I wanted to give my cousins in England some homemade cards for thanking them for letting us visit with them. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip because of the coronavirus. Not happy about it but it is the best thing to do. 

This does give me more time for making these little treats. Especially since I was behind in my original goal. Maybe if I made simpler cards it would go faster. But that isn't my style. 

I love this quilt design like die, with 4 colors I can make 4 cards. 

Then I added a flower, each piece was cut by hand, except for the middle circle and all inked by hand, I like them. 

They are blank inside. 

I also made four more, I used a couple. 

We had eight kids from our ward graduating from High School who weren't going to have graduation so we did a drive-by parade. 

I made cards for each of them, three different high schools were represented. 

For Heritage Academy, red, white, and blue.

Mesa High, had the most students, 6. Purple and gold.

For Westward High Blue and orange.

The insides were all the same, just colored in their school colors. 

I also made some birthday cards.

Outside fronts.

I did make the second front smaller which I like better but I didn't center it right. Oops, my friend won't care. 

Inside for one friend.

The middle. 

Inside for the other friend. 

The middle for the other. 

I also learned to make this fancy card front. I wanted to try it out before I made it for real for someone. Very fun technique. It is an interactive card called a Magic Iris by Lawn Fawn.
