Cards

Many of you know I work as a medical receptionist in a busy family practice. I have a good rapport with the patients and I recently received this beautiful handmade card from a lovely lady. I was not my usual cheery self one day and she thought I needed cheering up. It's little gestures like these that make up for all the rude patients that cross my path (but they are sick and not at their best so of course some will be cranky).

I've always been a little in awe of people who can make these cards. The detail is amazing and the fiddly work is far beyond me... This one is just so fresh and I have to tell you it still cheers me up!

This is a handmade card made by my youngest daughter many years ago now... I just love it... The sun is a pipecleaner, the pink cloud is fake fur and I especially love the row of fairy stones for the water. The flock of butterflies is a special texta (not sure what they are called in the US).

This is the inside...
My card making skills leave a lot to be desired. I found these in a box recently when I was looking for a card to make a little box. This was a tri-fold card with a cut-out. I used vleisofix to adhere fabric to the card and then glued a gold metal star on. The words were from a sticker pack. The inside is blank.

This one is plain card folded in half. I put vleisofix on the back of a piece of fabric then cut around the shape and then ironed it to the card. It's been in the box for years and it hasn't lifted from the card. I really must use these up... they were made years ago when doing craft stuff with the girls... sadly they are not interested in any craft at the moment...
