I have been busy making cards lately so no time to design new SVG’s :(. I loved how my cards came out so I thought I would share them with everyone on here and see what other people think about them.

Ok first off since it is Valentines Day is the card I made for my husband, everything of course is done by hand, hand sewn with embroidery thread (my first time doing that), the bird is from “The Greeting Farm” it is actually a stamp however I don’t have the actual stamp yet and I really liked it so I just drew it freehand but I give them credit for the actual original artwork, I just looked at it online and drew it out, then the rest is just cut cardstock. The next photo after that one is the back of the card where I covered my stitches and wrote on it.

This next card is a congrats/thank you card for my mother’s boss. She got a promotion so will be leaving and going to another place, my mother asked me if I could make her a card so they could sign it before she leaves. It is again made with cardstock and some paper, a thank you stamp that I used to stamp thank you all over the white cardstock behind the bird. I cut the FLY piece with SCAL and a little nubby dingbat/shape I found somewhere, the bird again is from “The Greeting Farm” same thing though I don’t have the stamp so I just freehand drew the image from the internet photo, hand colored with Bic markers. On the back (which I did not take a photo of) I wrote “Spread your wings and fly, congratulations on your new promotion, thank you for everything you have done for us” and then they signed it.

This last one is a Birthday card for the same boss. I used cardstock, patterned paper, opaque marker for the happy birthday, the little cupcake and guy are again from “The Greeting Farm” (they have such cute stuff over there you should really check them out, I plan to buy all these stamps on payday) and again hand drawn freehand from photo on the net, colored with Bic markers.
