I couldn't decide which group photo I liked better (and neither is really all that great, but anyway) so I stuck them both in. Supplies for all the cards are the same:
Clearly Sentimental About Emerson from My Favorite Things; stamped with Palette Noir ink; papers all from My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy "True Blue;" (except for two scalloped red pieces from Basic Grey "Curio"); stamps from various companies: grasses from Inkadinkado; floral silhouette from Digital Princess; butterfly unknown; bamboo crochet thread; all buttons from Basic Grey; distress inks: Tumbled Glass, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Fired Brick; corner rounder for the red scalloped borders.
These will be all wrapped up in a cello bag with a pretty ribbon...once I find where I put the darn bags. I'm in such a dither getting ready for my trip (4 more sleeps!) that I have been making even more of a cluttery mess than usual. At least the floors are clean underneath all the paper, right?
And before I completely forget, I also took a half-decent picture of the baby blanket I mentioned the other day. For those of you who crochet, the whole thing is done in single crochet baby yarn. Next time I'm definitely reading the pattern more carefully. Each row was about 15 minutes, so each band of colour took just over an hour.

Wow! Wow! These cards are GORGEOUS--your other card from before is stunning, too. I love the woodgrain (pp?) in the background and the colors are dreamy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my blog--you made me laugh out loud. :)
Your stamping on these cards is incredible! I love that each one has some unique features, but they make such a beautiful, cohesive set. The stamped envelopes are gorgeous, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beautiful crocheted baby blanket. I have crocheted since I was 7, though I tend to put it away for long stretches then pull it back out again. Mostly when my carpal tunnel starts to flare up! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh, thank you for sharing the photo of your LOVELY baby blanket! What a labor of love--your son's teacher should be so honored to receive such a warm, handmade creation. And I love your card set! Similar but not the same is a great look. :) And look at those fancy, dancy envelopes. Great job!
ReplyDeleteJessi, your card set is gorgeous! I love all your nature-inspired work with quotes. The matching envelopes are amazing, too!
ReplyDeleteThe baby blanket looks super soft and I love the chevron pattern! The pink and aqua look so sweet together.
Fabulous card sets. I just started making them and I love it too! The baby blankie was so sweet too.
