GOT CARDS?

I'm a little late as usual posting, but I have great news! I've been inspired to once again make a few cards! After making thousands of handmade greeting cards, most of which were sold on eBay, I suddenly grew tired of making them. I'm sure a new baby (my second child), many life changes, and of course my interest in mini albums, just drained me of my card making mojo. This week Pocket Full Of Papers is having a handmade greeting card challenge that is part of the Holiday Shoppe we're hosting this month.

Be sure to search PFOP on eBay to see all the handmade paper goodies and designer handmade cards,we have to offer this week!

 I had no idea when I started making a couple cards for the challenge I would end up with a whopping 25 so far!

Some of them really have a lot of my "oc" designs, like bouquets, or tiny flowers adorning a fence.

Something new for me in cardmaking has been machine sewing many of the layers. I love on cards just as much as on album pages!

Instead of using the regular quarter-fold size cards, I've given square, 5x5 cards a try. These have been a nice fun change too.

I listed two sets of cards on Sunday, and just listed three more this evening on eBay so be sure to check out the rest!

New eBay listings!

My oh my, I am so far behind on posting...AGAIN! I have two new albums listed on ebay right now. Both were created using DCWV papers. 

The first is from the Garden Party line, and I chose to use only the teal, green, and brown coordinating pages. 

With an any occasion theme, it's sure to suit a variety of your photos. Each page is adorned with butterflies and pretty prima flowers. 

It's 7x8 inches and features tabbed inner pages. Check it out! 

Secondly, is a 6x9 inch album with mixed shape pages. 

I made it using DCWV's Rustic papers. I just love every page in this line. Can't wait to use more! I named it Shine, using a K&Co chipboard word sticker. I was really impressed to find stickers that matched this line just right! It is very seldom I can cross brands and be happy with the way they go together. 

I scissor distressed each layer of the photo mats in it again, I tell you I'm hooked on that technique! 

I used stacked word stickers by K&Co to give each page a little bit of inspiration for choosing the perfect photo. A couple of gem swirl packs later... ta-da! Check out all the pictures here on ebay! 

Thank for reading, and have a great week :)
