New Card Design....sooo pretty!


I love making cards for people. It is so fun to put colors and different stamps and elements together to create a one of a kind creation or something that you can create a lot of to send out to many people. What makes it even more exciting for me is when I can create a card or set of cards for very little money.

Also, for me it is all about saving money. I go into sticker shock every time I see the price on the back of a "nice" store bought card...it's like a horror movie... :-)
And look what pretty little things you can make for hardly nothing at all.




This card was created from a pack of paper that I got at the "super dollar" store for $1.59. I also purchased the little flower accent (which was actually a whole sheet of different sizes and colors) for just $1. I usually buy a pack of card stock from walmart for about $4 or less, a glue stick, paper cutter (nice but not necessary) and a Happy Birthday stamp from the $1 bin at Michaels. How can you go wrong with that.



You could actually make many different cards with just those few items. I know so far I have made at least 10-12 cards from that size pack of paper and there is still plenty left. Maybe I'll post some of those later to show you. :-)
