This card sold awhile ago but I came across a photo of it while updating some picture files. I always like it. I used ripped mulberry paper and little paper flowers. The tag says 'kick up your heels' and in the corner is embellished with a gold victorian shoe.
Love the saying on this one. :)
I had a raincheck for Bazzill paper at one of our local craft stores. It finally came in, so I can get back to making box envelopes for my handmade greeting cards. I don't pair one up with every card I make, but as long as I can get this paper at a reasonable price I do prefer them to flat envelopes.
This set was originally part of an order that didn't end up going through. Recently, I offered to make a donation for a friend of a friend who is going thru treatment for cancer. She's choosing some alternative therapies for part of her recovery, and since medical insurance generally does not cover those things family and friends are having a benefit for her. So this set will soon have a new home! I restrung it to make a bit longer and put a different toggle on to change it up some.
If I wore earrings I would sooooo wear these! Whether you call them rainbow or chakra earrings they are COLORFUL!
SALVATION earrings
We were dead in our sins (black)
Until Christ shed his blood (red)
Which washes us white as snow (clear)
Now we have the eternal (green)
The Holy Spirit dwells within us (blue)
As a sign that we will one day
Be in Heaven with the streets paved in gold (gold)
These have been popular lately. We have a great team in Philadelphia! I have to deliver a pair this morning, someone is coming over today to pick up 4 pairs and few pairs are being considered. I have a couple assorted designs.
Abalone beads are very pretty. They have such a nice range of colors to them and go with lots of crystal accents and charms.
Have a happy Friday and wonderful weekend!
*oooing and aahing*
ReplyDeleteMary, these are WONDERFUL!
LOVE the saying on the friendship cars, that's flawless! And I also love the one "Kick Up You Heels" because it reminded me of an old perfume from Revlon with the same name!
And I think it's wonderful what you're going for your friend going through alternative treatment for cancer. I will be sure to send much Reiki her way.
Thank you for sharing your lovely creations, my friend!
Have a MARVI weekend!

you've been a busy bee....all are very nice, and what a nice thing for your friend.
ReplyDeletelove the salvation earrings, I've done bracelets but never thought of earrings....
Hi Ron, my friend emailed me to say that the benefit went very well and they raised alot of $$ for her friend so I'm glad I could be a small part of that. I have her photograph printed out and I do send Reiki to her at assorted times. She's open to alternative things in addition to the conventional treatments.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words.
Hi T, thank you! As I was just commenting to Ron, the benefit raised a good bit of money.
I like the earrings too but not everyone wants the real long ones. I think I might have to order some more of the little 4 mm crystals for those who want something shorter. My friend suggested I use hoops but I don't usually work with those.
These are all FABULOUS M!!! I LOVE them!!! Where did you find out how to make those box envelopes??? I really would like to learn...is there a pattern somewhere??
ReplyDeleteI am adding this site to my blogroll as well!! Thanks!!

Jeanne, thank you so much! I don't know if you ever saw the shell cards I make, but they are chunky at the bottom and needed a better envelope so I just made my own. When I started adding more things to cards, like tags on pop dots and tulle, I didn't want it all to get crushed so I'm using the envelopes for those too.
ReplyDeleteI'll send you an email and try to give you instructions.
