2024 - YEAR-LONG share your card creations here thread!

And final for January, birthday card for my kid:

Wow, y'all have been busy making so many fantastic cards! Looking at all the posts in this thread, I'm reminded how I used to enjoy browsing through all the cards in the Hallmark store when I was a teenager. Seeing all of your handmade creations was even better than that. You are all super talented card makers!!

joblackford, I enjoyed seeing your lovely Hanukkah cards and the cute birthday cards with the candle imagery. You have an incredible eye for combining patterns and colors that complement each other. Your stenciled heart is adorable, too. Amazing work! Also, thank you so much for your kind comment about my cards; you made me smile.

leeny, your cards look so beautiful and so interesting! That floral imagery is exquisite. I get that they are diamond dots, but they almost look stitched. Very cool! Also, thank you for bringing the Krazy Kreations kits to my attention. "alcohol ink coloring on fine glitter paper." -- this sounds really intriguing. I would never have thought to try that.


lindamh, I loved seeing the cards you made for the elementary school kids. Those heart shapes look super intriguing to play with. All your cards turned out great. I bet the kids are going to love them!! Also, that is really a bummer about the spinal stenosis diagnosis. I am glad that it didn't stop you from getting so many lovely cards made.

gramma, stunning cards! I bet the recipients will be thrilled with them!

MichyM, I am so impressed at all the amazing cards you made for Cards for Cubs. Just wow! You are a super productive card maker, and your stenciled cards are gorgeous! Also, thank you so much for your kind words about my cards. I appreciate the feedback.

Shakti, love those gorgeous Valentines and birthday cards! I am a sucker for diagonal stripes; you chose the perfect grid and heart patterns to combine with them to make them pop. I also enjoyed checking out the fun, colorful cards you made for Cards for Cubs.

Pantsonfire, your clean and simple Valentine's Day cards are adorable! Super cute work. <3 <3 <3

Yes, the card exchanges are great fun! AND I'm able to remake most of them into new cards for donation when the season's done.

I really need to work on my splattering! The last card, I said it looks like I spit toothpaste LOL.

Love your cards, MDscrapaholic!

I see you didn't add the little gems to the balloon card. I haven't either. Every time I sit down to do so, I decide it's already busy enough. It's hard to even see where they put them in instruction picture, so they clearly don't have much impact....

I will photograph and post mine shortly....

Those really look good, Shakti ! I finished the last two today:

  

Thank you! They are just random stamped using the Bits and Blooms stamp set. Looks a lot like patterned paper when you’re done!
