Holiday Craft Drop

Diy, Christmas, Cards, Knitting, Crafts, Paper craftingGabriela Sims1 Comment

I am starting this in the hopes that other people will do it too and we can all spread some joy. I handmake things all the time, from yarn to paper, I'm always creating. I decided this year I would make 1 dozen hand made cards and bag them up with other handmade items and "drop" them as gifts.  My hope is that people will find them and be prompted to do the same thing. I did my first one today, so I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes, here's the first drop.

I made some cards today using these cute owls. One card is a moving card. 

 

I also made a watercolor and embossed card. 

 

 

Done with embossing powder, watercolor pencils, and distress ink.

Finally, the last card I made was a sliding pop-up also featuring some owls.

So I have been doing my own artwork and using them as stamps and this weekend I had the time to really turn them into cards. I made three, one is a Congratulations Card, seen below.

Yaassss, you did it!

Then I used Misha to say Arigato.

A fun, elegant thank you.

And finally, the resident forest friend wishing someone a happy birthday.

Happy birthday from a little fox.

So these were very easy to put together, since I'd already colored the images after drawing them, I just printed them off and added some text and layers. These stamps are for sale in my spicyninja etsy shop if you'd like to make your own.  That's all for now, happy crafting.
