Custom Card: Premature Twins

This card was custom created for a friend to give to a couple who had just given birth to a set of identical premature girls. The card showcased the mom + dad each holding one of their little girls (and yes, those little girls have mini bows in their hair — unrealistic at this point, but it looked much more cuter that way).

Born at 25 weeks and weighing just over a pound, the little ladies are fighting hard. I’ve also been told that a GoFundMe account has been set up for this new family. If you’d like to help cover some of the hospital expenses, I’m sure every penny would be most appreciated.

Gift Wrap: Gold Flecked

The majority of us crafters today have a roll of washi tape somewhere, right? This gift wrap idea requires just a few items to get this look. And if you’re not digging the gold, you could always go with lots of other colors and still look incredible. You could either stay monotone (like I did with the gold), or you can coordinate colors like green + silver or red + gold for a more spunky look. Packaging supplies needed (besides the scissors and tape) are listed below:

Light brown kraft wrapping paper (the one I used is from Target)
Gold washi tape
Gold glitter string
Mini wooden gift tag

After wrapping your gift up with the kraft wrapping paper, rip off pieces of the gold washi tape and scatter over the top of the package and cascade several pieces down each side. A trick to make wooden gift tags reusable is to stick a piece of washi tape onto the tag and use that as your writing surface. Wrap the glitter string around the box, tie the loose ends together on top in a bow, secure the gift tag, and voila! All that’s left is to write the name on the tag and you’re ready to go.

Custom Card: Anniversary

November 14, 2014

Filed Under : Cards - Paper Projects

This card was custom created for a daughter to give to her parents on their anniversary. The mother wore a floral dress, something that she wore often. The father wore a suit — to suit the importance of the occasion, of course.
