Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers you've expressed for my daughter and my dad. Both are not out of the woods yet; Dana is still in the hospital and is having a procedure today that will hopefully help the severe pain she is in. She hasn't eaten for two days, either, and that would be enough to make anyone crabby! So I haven't stamped a bit, but I did these cards a week or so ago and never posted them, so I thought today would be good. These were for my downline top sellers for March--I am all caught up now and just in time for April!
I like to make these cards using new images and products so they can display them at their own parties and events, and simple enough that they and their customers could easily duplicate them. I tend to get in a rut, using the same color combinations, so I thought I would try to think a little outside the box, still using one of my fav sets, Friends 24-7, but by using a combo I don't normally use: Kraft and Tangerine Tango:
This has some Apricot Appeal accents as well, and glitter on the flowers. I also used the eyelet punch on the envelope as well: 
Cut the flap of the envelope so that it is straight across.
Using the eyelet scallop punch, punch the flap. Seal with adhesive if necessary.
I also like to stamp on the front of the envelope as well!
Thanks for visiting--hopefully I can stamp sometime today!

I love how sweet and simple your card is. It's also nice to see someone else that decorates their envelopes too! The eyelet border completely changes the feel of an ordinary envelope.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear of your dad's and daughters health issues! I hope they're both soon on the mend and back home feeling well again.
ReplyDeleteThis card is just lovely in color and design. Beautifully done, and under the circumstances I don't know how you managed to even think about posting! Best wishes LeAnne {{hugs}}

LeAnne, my daughter has been suffering severe migraines as well and we finally found a treatment that actually gets rid of her migraines. It is DHE delivered by IV in the hospital. It doesn't prevent migraines but it takes them away when nothing else has worked. We have been seeing a migraine specialist here in San Francisco that developed this protocol. It has been a godsend for us! Just wanted to give you that information. My email is hskelly@pacbell.net if you want any more information. We had been dealing with these migraines since my daughter was in 4th grade - she is now a freshman in college! Hugs to you. Harriet
