Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you...I have posted again!
I know, either I don't post for awhile or you can't get rid of me!
Just think of it as me keeping you on your toes! LOL!!!
I was able to finish a krafty item that I had in my head for a while now
and wanted to share with you.
It's a box of assorted handmade cards.
I've been thinking of it for so long, but couldn't decide on which kind of cards to include.
I think I may have a good selection, but would love any feedback whatsoever.
Included in the box:
Three Birthday cards
Two Thinking of You cards
One Congratulations card
One Get Well card
One Thank You card
One Sympathy card
and
One Love card
(which you can use as an anniversary or such)
I have also included envelopes for all the cards.
Honestly, I hope you will let me know what you think.
I only put in 10 cards for the set...so it was hard to figure out what to include.
I put this up in my Etsy store and hope that it is a set that people would enjoy.
I also wanted to make something this weekend for my desk at work.
I had an idea and told my hubby...
but I don't think he knew how I was going to accomplish it...
tell you the truth, I didn't know either until I started working on it.
So I told him that I wanted to make a fish tank for my desk at work.
Nothing alive in it...all krafty.
Here's how I started it.
I made two 12" x 6" x 1 1/2" cardboard boxes for the top and bottom.
Then I used cardboard for the corner pieces and to add the top and bottom in place.
Next I added clear, frosted, green and blue glass pebbles.
I also added green and blue sea glass.
All of the pieces were hot glued down.
Here's a closer view.
Next I stamped and embossed in green, blue and gold a bunch of fish I had.
Then cut them all out.
I also hot-glued those to the sea glass,
back and front so that you can see fish from every angle of the tank.
Then I hot glued some small glass bubbles to the ceiling of the tank.
Finally I added transparency film to each side and closed it off with black cardboard.
The funniest part of the making of this tank is that most of the materials I have had for so long...
not knowing what I would need them for...until now.
It's crazy how I will purchase items at the various stores I go to,
and they look cool,
but I don't have anything in mind for them,
and then all of a sudden, they are exactly what I need!
I love when that happens!!!
Here's a closer look at the finished tank.
Hope you don't mind, but I don't have a manicure this weekend...
too much crafting!!!
Would love to know if you like what I shared with you.
Comment below, I LOVE comments!
Take care and hope to share some more soon!
