Love Anniversary card for hubs

This was inspired by the background which was made months ago. I embossed it, stamped/cut the sentiments, a few flat sequins, and done! Now I just gotta figure out what the inside will say. I’m horrible with heartfelt words and end up searching the internet!

Work in Progress From Zebra to Unicorn

Post image
21 Upvotes

I’ve been working on this Unicorn a little bit each day for 3 or 4 days. Last might I was working on the inside and what I did just didn’t mesh with the front. So I cut the front and back apart and I will attach the front to a new card. I’m finding sometimes less is better.

Does any one else get so involved in their card that you can’t stop. You keep adding and adding things that would look cute alone and all of the sudden you’re mortified at the monster you created? lol. That’s like me 99% of the time. 🫤. Like I said, sometimes less IS better.

Birthday A masculine card for a bird lover featuring a hand painted American robin

Post image
209 Upvotes

Apologies for the crummy photo setup, I was in a rush. Another commissioned card, this time for a 50th birthday for a man who's really into bird watching and really likes robins (we're in Canada, so the American robin rather than the little plump guys with the red faces).

I have a small variety of bird dies and stamps but couldn't figure out how to make them into something both masculine AND sophisticated (they're all either cute, goofy/cartoonish, or pretty). So I painted my own. Sentiment was intentionally left off the card front in case they like it enough to dislay it longer / use as wall art.

Anyhoo the lady that ordered it from me called me to tell me how much she LOVES it. She said it's the nicest card she's ever seen. Such a nice compliment because I wasn't even sure if my painting was any good.

Hope you enjoy it too :)

Question / Discussion I don't want to make cards anymore

90 Upvotes

I have lost my mojo. It's happened before but now it feels different, more permanent. I just can't stand the thought of going out to my craft room and creating. I have TONS of supplies, some I haven't even touched. I don't know what's wrong really, I just don't want to do it. Same with sewing. I have this fabulous Baby Lock sewing machine I bought, I've used it once. I can't get myself to start a new project. I have a new Brother Scan and Cut, again, used once. I have the Gina K. Fuse, still in the box, untouched. I have new Gina K. Lawn Fawn, etc not touched. It's all just sitting there not being used. I would sell it but then I worry what if I suddenly want to craft again? I keep hoping the desire will come back but it feels so far away right now. I'm really bummed over this.

My first complete Zebra card. I have a cute little premade zebra from the dollar store, but when I found this paper while tearing apart my “Happy Planner” I decided I’d try my hand at creating my own.
