Handmade envelope: Dream Big & Laugh Hard

Some cards/envelopes I try to downplay the celebration and bling, but let's just say this envelope was not one of them. The recipient is a BIG character inside and out. The idea for this envelope fit her to a "T".

 

The brads that make up the closure are super blingy and the baker's twine is a perfectly vivid color. I loved the contrast between the turquoise baker's twine against the lavender patterned paper. The circles in the paper echoed by the circular brads.

 

This envelope was just a measure of decadence I wanted to project to the birthday girl. She repeatedly thanked my sister for the beautiful card and envelope. She proudly showed it off on her desk for days.

Canine card: Ooo La La! French bulldog

Something wonderfully unexpected happened to me this weekend. You see, in the process of showing our friend Betty my other canine cards she fell in love with this French Bulldog card I created. One of her friends (at this weekend's dog show in Missouri) is a breeder of French Bulldogs and she bought this card on the spot so she could gift it to her.

Each card is an extension of me and it surprises me when someone loves them so much they want to gift one to a friend.
