This is the first year for my side of the family to draw names for Christmas gift giving...I picked my sister-in-law's name out of the hat. I was super excited about this (not that I wouldn't be with any one else's name) because she really likes to send cards out to people. I actually made 300+ cards for her and my brother's wedding to give to each person who attended as their little special gifts...They were very simple cards but everyone liked them! It was a much more personal gift than just a piece of candy, bubbles, or other little things you may see. Anyway, she loves cards and she is also a teacher and sends notes out to parents frequently. So, I started thinking about what I could do for her Christmas present this year, and I came up with three different cards...Here is the first one. I made her two packs of 8 and packaged them nicely with stamped envelopes to match. Her name begins with the letter "M", just in case you were wondering. :) I know you can't see the inked edges really well, but the white card is inked much more than the other two colors on the frames. I also inked the silhouette with white ink. I couldn't get the exact picture I wanted. I will have to work on that. I cut out the two frames and the silhouette with my SCAL software as well as the "M". You could also use a sticker for the letter if you wanted to do that instead. I inked the edges, rounded the corners, tied the knot and it was done. So cute, simple and classy. I chose the teal and pink because these are her two most favorite colors. Hope this inspires you. Remember, it is always homemade!
