One of the things I promised myself this year is that I would spend more time being creative and just working to keep those creative juices flowing. I haven’t done it as much as I have wanted to but I have had some time to play a bit.
I’ve made a couple of cards and did a fun project to celebrate my 49ers being in the Super Bowl this year.
Dress Card
I enjoy sending cards out to family and friends for birthdays and other events. I design my own cards and have fun while figuring out all of the details.
I had the basic idea of doing a card with dress and then had fun adding the ribbon belt with a jewel, the balloons and a few gems on the white space of the card.
While working on the design of this card, I learned a couple of new techniques which included writing on the inside of the card as well as addressing the envelope in a fancy script (not shown). This is a great way to personalize the message for the person receiving the card (or get a lot of cards done at one time)!
Bang Bang Niner Gang
This is a cute little phrase that 49er fans say. I purchased the SVG online and put the sentiment on drinking glasses. It can also go on shirts, tea towels or anything you can think of!
I have a group of friends that I watch the 49er games with every week and they were the lucky recipients of these glasses. (Like how I used a football field as the background for the glasses??)
Balloon Card
You always need more than one type card especially for birthdays. This is my 2nd version for the year.
It is much plan (hope) to create a series of cards for a variety of occasions that I have on hand to send out as needed. Creating different types of cards is one way get my creative juices flowing.
That’s where my crafting is at this point in the year. Again, I want to do a lot more just for fun!! Do. you have any ideas for cards you would like to see me attempt? Share in the comments.
