I created this card holder to hold a collection of 6 cards I made for my mom. Hopefully she doesn't see this before I send her the card folder! ;o) I tried to keep the cards within a general color scheme, but my mind gets distracted and, although I intended to keep things brown, green, and cream, the colors are a bit wild! I ended up making 6 unique cards, but I should have just limited myself! Better luck next time, I guess!

Card Holder

Card 1: card and envelope are made from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge; the green square and bird are from the Wild Card cartridge and they have a beautiful stitch design on them!



Card 2: the card and envelope are from the Plantin Schoolbook cartidge; the flowers come from a huge gift bag I got at the 99 cents store because I loved the pattern so much!



Card 3: This was a cinch! Patterned paper and a couple of embellishments like ribbon and words! I cut the card and envelope from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.



Card 4: envelope and card cut from Plantin Schoolbook cartridge; add a few embellishments like vellum words and sparkly stickers and you're set!




Card 5: card and envelope cut from Plantin Schoolbook cartridge; i used my Cropadile to punch holes and make eyelets in the bottom, then I "sewed" the ribbon in and tied a bow! The stickers come from a work pack, and the "Home Sweet Home" is rub-on letters on white paper!



Card 6: EASY! EASY! EASY! This is vellum paper taped onto white paper! I didn't do a thing to this except cut and tape! I want my mom to be able to embellish this one as she pleases (since she's a talented cardmaker/scrapbooker herself). To me, it looks like a birthday card for a little girl, but it could be anything! This was cut from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, too!
