This last one is the one I did for my sister-in-law, and actually I did go a bit on the artsy side with it. There is not a whole lot of product, mostly just stamps and ink. I gave it a bit of a shine and a ribbon to finish it and am really happy how it turned out. It is very simple yet elegant at the same time.
Now I almost forgot to mention the very first card, that was the one I made for Mother's Day. Now normally I will make one card only (I try to make individual cards based on the person and their personality) and not reproduce it, but in the interest of time but mostly energy, this year I found one idea that I liked (yes I scrap lifted this one) and made all 5 of them the same. It probably won't be a habbit, but I did like the ease of it a whole lot better. It can be very challenging at times to come up with one or two card ideas, much less 5 - so for Father's day I believe I will be doing the very same thing - picking one idea and making all of them the same (sorry dads).
Now as for Christmas, that is the one exception for me (the other exception). I try to do as many cards in bulk as I can stand. Normally I just get tried of making the same thing over & over, so I do change it up a bit; but for the most part I will make 20 of the same card for Christmas time - then come up with another design and make that one 20 times. This last year I made - I think if I remember correctly - 70+ cards for family & friends. No doubt it will be that many again this year, if not more. So already I am beginning to think of some card ideas that are easy but elegant. Wish me luck!
That's all I have for today, hope everyone is enjoying their summer1
