Babushka Cards

Did you know - Vintage Port takes 40 years to reach maturity.

I sat down and had a good card afternoon yesterday, producing 8 more samples of Babushka Cards for the web-shop. I made 4 gift tags and 4 full size cards. I will be e-mailing out my samples and see what happens. Anyway I wanted to share some photos of them here.....


The 4 gift tags



2 of the large/normal size cards, both are lined inside, the yellow one I used a star punch and shimmery lemon ribbon, with the doll raised in the center. The black card I just went with a striking black and white them, raising the doll in the middle, but at an angle, opposite to the white.




The last 2, on the green card I added some red and gold ribbon, and highlighted the doll with some gold glitter. The other card features 4 flowers punched out with the inside layer showing through, some distressed black paper and the doll raised on top.

Fingers crossed my designs are liked!

Started work on 8 more Babushka Card samples for the web-shop - if they like them, they are willing to place an order for 100 gift cards and 100 greeting cards - that will keep me BUSY, but, will be a nice boost for me - getting my name/designs out there.

Look for my fan page coming soon to Face Book as well!

Babushka Cards

I was recently asked to make a few *Babushka* style cards, which was a challenge for the creative side. Basically it's another name for Russian Stacking Dolls. I was able to download a few images from the web and made my 5 sample cards. They are for sale at www.freewebs.com/minniesmessages. I also made a few gift cards for using on presents, and may consider looking into that further as another avenue/variety of cards and styles to add to my repertoire. As always any feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

have also been comissioned to make 15 *Thank You* cards, so my desk will be working hard come the weekend

Stay safe
