Is this NSFW? If so I’m sorry 😞

I forget where I got the idea but I gotta say cutting out those random note letters is seriously time consuming.

😬 This will likely offend like 1/3 of people, but … 🤷🏻‍♀️

I made this for a friend who is obsessed with trash, made 100% of trash and hot glue. He loved it!

Had a lot of fun making this - especially the details like the metal doorknobs etc. The shelf is slightly askew but oh well! The "card" is on the back of the closet behind the dresses and the hatbox contained some cash as a gift.

After 2 days of work, I've finally finished my first Christmas cards. Obviously, they'll only be for the special people in my life ☃️ Also, I love listening to the bead-snow falling, it'll be hard to let these go in a few months!

This was my second time making a card and they didn't hold up. I'm embarrassed and also, what glue should I have used?


r/cardmaking • • Aug 22 '21

Not my best work, but I love the brick wall effect I created here. Also, it's made using only scraps!

Wedding Mom said this card was too much and over the top. Could I have some cardmaker opinions, please?

A friend asked me to design a wedding card for a "bougie" (her words, I don't know the recipient) colleague. What do you think? 🤔

Really proud of this one. Got a Cricut Joy recently and really put her to work! Even used a bit of embroidery floss to finish off the shaker.

Thinking about adding some loss to the other pop out balloons. I feel like it needs a finishing touch. Thoughts?


r/cardmaking • • Aug 20 '21

I need to get an exacto knife to make it a nice clean balloon, but y’all have inspired me soooo much!

Some cards I've been hand-drawing lately

I hope it's ok to post these here. Not too long ago I started making some greeting cards for fun. Somewhere along the way I found myself on a roll and started making more that were arty or for any occasion etc. These are the most recent ones I've made so far and I've thoroughly enjoyed trying my hand at drawing citrus fruits and botanical plants. The last one is part of a series of uplifting message cards featuring a frog wizard fellow who's just a little bit down in the dumps, but he doesn't let that stop him from trying his best. I'll probably post more of those another time but for now I hope you enjoy what you see :)
