My First Portrait!!!

Okay, yeah, I am excited. I wasn't sure if it would come out, but it did!

I got to make a paper cut portrait! It was such a blast. In the process of doing this I discovered new techniques to add charm and was soo very pleased with the out come that I almost didn't want to give up the piece! I shipped it out today, and from the customer's response on the pictures I send her, she is loves it!

I used quality papers and embellishments, along with thinking on my toes to create this finished piece. I hope you all like it!

Digi-Sketch

Just sketching...loosening up. I needed a break from the paper-cutting and made this little thing.

Arrg, Pirates!

So here is my first Halloween custom order. ( I say first, anticipating and hoping for more!)
The Story:
The customer wanted a Halloween card for a friend that always does up his lawn with skeleton pirates every year. He calls it "The Pirates of North Court" (apparently the street he lives). Outside of the card features the jolly and drunk dead pirates, while the inside reads "Happy Halloween".
It was really fun to make, and I got to use a new paper I was itching to try: real wood paper. Yep, paper that is WOOD. It cuts like a dream and is so much fun! The chest and peg leg are made of it, and it rocks!

Navy Embellishment

Just finished up another custom made piece in my store. This was an order for a Navy Logo Embellishment for the customer's scrap book. It is 4" and made of quality paper, chain, and twine. It was fun to make, as well as a little bit of a challenge. Enjoy! More to come...working on two wedding cards!

RUSH Birthday Card!

I got another order, rush, and I did. I got this done in record speed, but didn't skimp on quality, which I was afraid might have to happen. I posted the pictures for the customer, and she loved it! I am so happy! She even said she would be coming back to my store! Awesome! So enough from me, here is the custom card I made just for her. It's of her cousin reading the paper and drinking his coffee, with the desired sentiment written on the inside.

Witch Hat?

Halloween is coming and I am preparing my shop. First up today is a Halloween card! Yay...

Some Custom Cards!!!

So this past week I have been busting my chops filling two custom creations on Etsy. Here they are for you to see! If you want something, I hope you know where to go...but just as a reminder: Click here and be on your way to my store!

The first is made for the customer's friend which had broke their foot. It is created with various kinds of paper, colorful duct tape, cotton and foam. Really very fun to make.

This second one is made for the customer's boyfriend who is a big fan of the "MahnaMahna" song. So here is MahnaMahna and Slowths puppet characters come to life in Birthday Card form. The card is created with quality paper, feathers, foam, felt, googly eyes, and a pom pom nose! The inside is hand inked by me. "Happy Birthday...MahnaMahna" If you never heard of this song, please youtube it! Not only is it hilarious, but it sticks with you for days (and days and days.)
