A friend asked if I could create a card for a college-bound young lady, whom my friend described as a "princess". It certainly seemed that pink and sequins would be fitting!! This is my favorite part about making my own cards - creating just the right card for the recipient. I used to spend hours at my local Hallmark store reading every card that they had - and I usually just settled. Now I spend those hours making my own! (Yes, most of my cards take an hour or more - can you say "overly obsessive"?) Do Hallmark stores even exist any more? Our local store closed a number of years ago and I miss browsing the cards and cute little gifts.

This card is so pretty and fitting for the girl. I just about always take more than an hour to make a single card!
ReplyDeleteSo so cool!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and perfect for a young girl!! We still have a Hallmark or two near us. It's a shame to see things like that vanish. With all of the social media though, it's no wonder :(
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the perfect sentiment. I love all this sweet sparkly and PINK goodness. Pink is never a bad idea. :-)
ReplyDeleteKim, the young woman will be smitten with this card, as am I! It certainly is befitting for a princess! We still have Hallmark stores in both Calgary and Edmonton - big ones! I much prefer making my own (and yes, some of mine are well-over an hours' worth in their creation), but browsing through a Hallmarks is always inspiring (as is Chapters/Indigo, in their card/gifts section...).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shaker!!

Hi Kim ... you inspired me to watch a couple of shaker card tutorials to find out how to make them. Now all I need is some dimensional tape ... and I will give it a go! Love the colours in this one! Hugs xxx
