Remember this post, where I showed you how to make paper rosettes? I mentioned that after you die-cut the scallop circles, you would have little parts of the smaller scallop circle left over. I made about a dozen paper rosettes, so I had plenty of these: I can’t bring […]
Greeting Cards
I was contacted by a new client to make invitations for her son’s first Holy Communion. Big challenge for me…I realized that I don’t have any religious paraphernalia in my papercrafting supplies. I always love to take on a new challenge. I wanted to make sure the card was appropriate […]
I just completed a job for a client who requested “fun” and “different” invitations for a baby shower. She didn’t want the printed ones that you can order online. (Woo hoo!) I emailed her a couple of choices. The first sample started out just being a “onesie” card, but I […]

Here is one final version of the change of address cards. This one is my favorite. It’s also the easiest to make because for the accent pieces, all you have to do is use scraps of coordinating decorative paper. No matter what version you decide to use, I’m sure your family […]
