Sometimes I actually do make cards!

[SooG]

Although my cost per card is still crazy high as I seem to buy much MUCH more than I make - I have managed to produce a few things over the last couple of weeks.

The first was an invitation to a summer party a friend was having. It was my first 'mass production' effort and I enjoyed it.

The second was a birthday card for the same friend. The daisies are my first Paint Fusion and I was delighted with the result. I did some tulips the other day and they weren't quite so successful!

And finally this colourful and funky card that my goddaughter and I made for her younger sister.

Brilliant cards SooG!
Love the invitation - we don't go in so much for party invitations like that over here.......we're so dull! LOL
Daisy birthday card is fabulous, hard to believe that was your first PF attempt......!
Card you & goddaughter made is a stunner - I had a look on your blog re. the folding instructions, not sure if I'm brave enough to attempt it myself though, I'm not good at such intricate folding.....! LOL

p.s. Re. 'cost per card'......no comment as daren't even think about it......! LOL

[SooG]

Thanks everyone!

Kittens_With_Claws the folded card is pretty straightforward once you've done it one time. Just try it out on some photocopy paper first and you'll see how the folds work. And of course ask me if you have any q's! :)

Lovely cards thank you for sharing, I love the PF one can't believe its a first attempt.
I agree on the cost of making cards,On the very rare occasion I buy a shop one(hangs head in shame,but it was for my nephew who was in Afganistan for his Birthday so it had to be funny and thin enough to post.) I look at the pricesfor a bnasic card in shop and think HOW MUCH!!!! then I work out how much my cards cost to make and on aveage its £2.00 but shhhh don't tell hubby he thinks they cost pennies LOL

Lovely cards Soo, the paint fusion effort is amazing, much better than my first attempt. :)

Wonderful cards, such vibrant colours, they really stand out. I'm really impressed by your paper folding efforts.:)

Lovely cards Soo !!! i love the PF daisies in particular :)

[Impossible Princess]

Lovely cards SooG! Particularly love the origami card, so bright and cheerful! The summer party invites must have been a pleasure to receive, too. Must confess I know nothing about paint fusion, will have to look into it, but the card's very pretty xx

Just watched a Sheena Douglass introduction to paint fusion video on youtube, so can now better appreciate the skill involved in your daisy card, they really did come out amazingly well! No wonder you were chuffed! :happy: xx

Really lovely cards SooG, my favourite is the daisies too, but I love the other two as well. I am useless at folding so wouldn't even attempt the folded one. x
