So I dug through my stash of papers, which continues to grow, and decided on soft colors. I have so much paper and so many crafting tools now that I sometimes forget what I have!
The fancy tags on the front I made with my favorite new tag-making template (from www.paperwishes.com) that I got for Mother's Day from my #2 son. I just love this template! It has several different tags on it, all with different styles, all with those great layers built right in, which makes it super easy to create really pro-looking tags that perfectly match your project. I'm just looking for ways to use this template these days, and there's another one now, which I don't have, yet....
At this point I sat and looked at the cards for a while, and decided that flowers were in order. So I dug through my paper stash again, this time my scrap stash, to find matching solid colors. And then I dug through my bin of punches to find my various different flower punches and little circle punches. And I created the flowers, layering smaller flowers inside bigger ones, and punching out flowers around flowers on the paper, and adding itty bitty circles in the middle of some. Then I played around with the flowers on the page until I was happy, and added a bit of lace down the left side.
Then on to the insides, which were very different.
For the insides I looked at my collection of sentiments and matching embellishments and I was lucky enough to find things that I liked and that matched my choice of papers. Oh yeah! I love it when I have exactly what I want! I then added the hearts, which I punched out myself from matching papers, and created the 'thinking of you' tags. Deckle edge scissors and ink fancied up the edges of the papers for a more decorative look. And then they were off, the old-fashioned way, via snail mail.
