Once a year (in the middle of winter), Shellie and I leave our 3 children each with our hubbies and they let us escape to Scrapbook the weekend away. This year, I digi-scrapped and she organized pictures (and fought with technology and WON!) We saved the last day (Sunday) for card making and here is what we made. Enjoy. These were all ideas we snagged from Pinterest and made our "own."

5 cards in an afternoon
|
When we set out to make cards, we don't just make ONE- Why? Most of the work is in the designing and picking out the paper. Once you figure out the "recipe", it's all "assembly" after that. We normally make 6-8 of each card and then we split them to each take home. Shellie and I don't send cards to the same people, so no one ever knows we both have the same cards.
Here's a closeup of the cupcake card:

We added Stickles to the cupcake liner for some extra glitter- it is hard to see how pretty it is here

Shellie used the cupcake card and this Princess card for her daughter's upcoming birthday party (a blog post soon to come- wait until you see the cake her princess picked out)
We like to add something to the inside- it feels more complete, so here is what Shellie did to make these 2 cards PERFECT for her daughter's invites.
Here's the thing...when we make cards, we have a hard time actually parting with them...so I had to talk her through actually sending these for the invites; she did and there are going to be some happy little girls at her daughter's party. (look for an upcoming blog post all about the party.)
