I added a few wax paper cards to my etsy shop this week and also decided to give them their own section to better showcase them.
I love making these and think they can make particularly awesome valentines. I dig the way the emellishments are muted by the wax paper and how delicate the final product is. I plan to hole up and makes lots of these tonight.
Have a great weekend!!
So about 2 months ago I lost the stamp that I've been using for the back of my cards, my packaging for button and magnet sets and everything else. I know it's someplace in my house but I cannot figure out where. Last night it occured to me that I have a computer and I have photoshop. So instead of not stamping my site info on the back of some new cards, I printed it on the back of them. I am happy with how it looks. And I have no idea how it's possible that this never occured to me before.
I think that I am very used to doing everything very manually. I like hand stamping every card. I like cutting and pasting each image or hand pressing with my gocco. But last night I realized that using an inkjet printer for a project every now and then isn't so bad.
So anyway there it is. My epiphany of the week.
I made this card last night. It had me laughing at like 1:00am.
The little heart was cut from an old star wars comic and seemed appropriate at the time.
I am tired today.
It's thunder storming in January.

I've finally got around to making some matchbook valentines. I'll be adding these to my shop today.
I'm looking for feedback about what you might be looking for when valentine's day comes around (if you buy card for this occasion.) Do you like to buy individual cards, sets for friends, sets for kids, etc.? Please leave a comment if you would like to share. I am always curious about what people are looking for!
It's been a rough weekend. Both of my kids are sick and kind of miserable. It's so nice outside I feel like taking them to the zoo or something...but we'll probably be stuck inside. Oh well, perhaps I will accomplish more crafting!
I made a weird array of things in the middle of the night last night. This valentine is one of them. I hope you like it.
