Mothers and Others Cards

I am back!
Month of December  & into January was crazy between getting ready for Christmas, finish making and mailing my cards, and getting ready my vacation. I had a magnificent time visiting Thailand but life is so different there.  Since returning, I have an even more appreciation for USA!

So now I am back to crafting and it feels good!  Just in time to make my husbands 30 invites he needs each year.  I have been working on them for the past month.  First I cut and punched all the pieces out and piled them up.  I grabbed a pile and glued that piece down on all 30 cards.  Grabbed the next pile and started on that one.  All I can say is thank goodness for my Misty as stamping the "Your Invited" was so much faster.   I recently finished them and over a month earlier than he needed them. Go me!

The die set "Radiant Rectangles" was probably not the best choice to make this card with as it had so many tiny pieces that did not pop out well out of the die so after each and every cut, I had to sit and poke the pieces out.  I got a lot of binge watching shows doing these cards!   I guess it was worth it as I like the final results.

My job is done!  Now on to fun cards....

Have a great crafty day!

Secret Invitations

January 1st was my Boss's 40th Anniversary for his business.  That was quite a milestone!  All of us at the office gave him a party.  We actually surprised him which was amazing as he finds out everything and so hard to surprise him.  We had about 40 of his closest friends and colleagues at the party.  

I volunteered to make the invites.  

My inspiration came from this Door Card.  

It was pretty easy to make.  I cut out all the pieces, glued them together, ran each door through the woodgrain folder and then glued them down on top of the card.  The door handles came from something I had in my stash from years ago. 

thank you for stopping by
