Cards, Cards and more Cards!

















It's that time of year again...wedding and graduation party season. I've made a few handmade cards this past year. So, as the graduation invites started pouring in, I got motivated and decided instead of buying cards, I'd make them with all the supplies I already have at home. After I finished, I was rather proud of these cards and thought I'd show them off. I hope you enjoy!
The Graduation Cards were all made from Hot Hues Cards found on clearance at Target and have matching envelopes. I used stickers, the graduation hat rubber stamp from Michael's dollar bin and my own hadn lettering. Inside they read "Congratuations, Graduate! Good luck on all your future endeavors!"
The wedding card is for a wedding we will be attending this weekend. Again I used rubber stamps from Michael's Doallar Bin. Their names and initial on the front is from their invitation and matted on paper that matches. I used a hand held punch to make the heart confetti which I sprinkled inside and used as an accent on the envelope and front of the card. I didn't have a stamp ink that would match, so I only stamped the words Happily Ever After and used a heart punch instead of the heart on the stamp. I printed the inside poem on my computer with matching ink and again matted on matching paper. I also embellished the stamped chapel with glitter for a little sparkle.
Maybe this will provide you with a bit of inspiration.
