First Card Making Tea Party!

WOW! Have a lot to learn about doing a "Card Making Tea Party"! This was a great "first"  with just friends and family this time. We decided to pick a "theme" but once we got started we sort of went in different directions with all of the same supplies. Here are a few pictures:
Donna Does It!
Donna's Card
Victoria's Card
Judy's Card
It turned out to be a great first time and look forward to many more!
So, the first card was made by Donna, the second by Victoria and the third by Judy.  Well done Ladies!

  Come and join us for some Tarjetas y Cafe!

What Goes Into Making a Card?




Violets


There are many elements to making a card, take this one for instance.  The white card stock was dry embossed, there were four different sizes of paper cut in four different colors.  There were two punches used, one oval and one scalloped oval for the message.  The violets were stamped, wet embossed, hand painted with ink and a paint brush and cut by hand.  Put everything together, add a bow, a brad and viola! A beautiful card.  Looks easy doesn't it? This card took about two hours to make!

One Of My Very First Cards

These little sheep are so much fun to make!  Of course, every time you make a card you will think of things you could have done differently.  But, these sheep are adorable!
