Thank Yous

I was looking forward to last night for, like, two weeks - I'm in a card-making club, and we had our bi-monthly party last night.  I hosted it this time and whipped up some yummy finger foods, which I've been indulging in a bit too much today.

When we meet, we do a card swap.  The person who is hosting decides what kind of cards everyone should bring to swap, and I chose thank-you cards.  I'm way low on those.  So I made some to swap:
They turned out really cute, I think.  I used my silhouette for the whole planter box/flowers/grassy stuff, of course.  LOVE THAT THING.

We usually make a card all together at these events - the demonstrator in charge will show us new techniques.  I had asked her if she could teach me how to make those rosette things, so that's what we did:
 It was...complicated.  Rosettes are complicated.  But so dang cute.
This card cracks me up, because I'm going to have to get a special padded envelope to send it - the rosette itself is 1/2" tall. :)  But it will be worth every penny.  Can you imagine getting a card like this in the mail?  It would make my day.

  1. That is super cute. Sorry I missed it. Also sorry I didn't call and let you know I was going to miss it. So rude of me. I hope I survive the next week trying to get Nick and Kassye ready for their trip. It seems like there is more to do every day.

  3. Wow! That is an awesome card! Jenny was in a card club like that about three kids ago. I went with her a few times and was always very impressed with the things her pals made, but I don't remember any of them making anything as fancy as your cards.
