I feel that I should start this post with a little disclaimer
*I am not a card maker*
Well at least I didn't think I was a card maker. Until I embarked on a little endeavour to earn a few dollars making some Mothers Day cards. A few people recently asked me to make cards for them and I have obliged. The people I make cards for are always thrilled with them and comment on how lovely they are, but yet I always saw my card making skills as somewhat lacking. That small space to work with always threw me I think ;)
My Mother-in-law asked me to make some cards for the Ladies at her work and so I made a bit of an effort and this is the result...
The cards will sell at her workplace so I thought a sweet little display was called for. The only card holding receptacle I could find at short notice was this flower pot...cute huh?
There's envelopes, ziplock bags and a cash envelope behind the cards for a self-service card centre. Hopefully they'll all sell!
My Mum is also going to sell some for me at her work and I might try and con some of the school Mums and teachers too...why not?
If all goes well I might even start to call myself a card maker.
Whod have thought?!
Such a coincidence! My mother in law is having her own store and asked me to make some cards too, to sell in her store and earn some money for me...I'm not a cardmaker either and you know what this hobby costs..And I have the same pink butterfly and dotted paper from Prima which I wanted to use...I love your cards!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteNot a card maker huh! These are gorgeous Kerryn!
ReplyDeleteYou so are a card maker, they are awesome. Not bad for a non-card maker....lol
ReplyDeleteheehee. someone needs a hobby, lol. Ok, someone needs ANOTHER hobby ;)
ReplyDeleteUmmm - I think you can safely assume the title of "Cardmaker Extraordinaire"
ReplyDeleteKerryn these are awesome!!! Leaves my efforts to shame. Although mine are to donate to the Mother's Day stall at school so I made them quite simple so I could churn out a stack of them quickly...I'm feeling like a alacker after seeing yours though. I might have to redeem myself and make a few more lol!
