Card No. 122

{tulips for one}

{designed by extraonions}

~The customer wanted a birthday card for one of her close friends. She wanted a feminine card and specifically asked for tulips. You can't really tell by the photo, but this is an extra large card. And the green is a bit more softer. A very sweet card for a sweet lady. The customer was very pleased.

Card No. 120

~The customer wanted a birthday card for her brother who is very 'outdoors-y'. He loves to go hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting, etc. When I found these stickers, I thought they were perfect! And great find on the moose! It was a nice touch especially since she mentioned it was a running joke between them. This card took me awhile to put together because I was worried about it looking like a postcard as opposed to a birthday card. But when I gave it to her, her instant reaction told me I was being too hard on myself. She loved it!!

~My wonderful sister-in-law asked me to make a special birthday card for her fiance. I gave her some ideas and she liked them all. I decided to go with a rock theme. Not only is he a handyman (see Card No. 113), but a rock star as well!!! It took me awhile to put this together; it was like working a puzzle! But definitely worth my time. I was really happy with what I came up with and most importantly, she was happy and he was happy. The end.

~I made this card for my sister-in-law's fiance. We celebrated at their new home last August - a birthday bash/housewarming event! I thought this card was appropriate since he is one of the best handyman I know... well, next to my husband of course :) The card was well received especially since we enclosed a H.ome D.epot giftcard.

~Customer wanted a birthday card for her nephew. She mentioned that he's quite 'outdoor-sy' and loves camping. I'll be giving her the card tomorrow so fingers crossed that she is happy with it. Personally, I like it but I'm not sure if it's too 'simple'. It didn't take me too long to make it so I'm nervous that perhaps I should have put in more thought? We shall see!

~Customer wanted a birthday card for her 6 year old granddaughter who loves pink and Hannah Montana. I struggled a little bit with making this card, in fact, I had to scrap the original and make another one. I was too worried that the card looked 'messy'. When I gave the card to the Customer, she was very happy. She said it was perfect. I told her my concerns and she quickly dismissed them.

~Customer wanted a birthday card for her 4 year old granddaughter who loves purple and princesses. I chose to add Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse because her family recently went to Disneyland. I had issues making this card because I was worried it looked too busy. I struggled even though the Customer mentioned that her granddaughter loves lots of glitz and bling or as she put it 'tacky and gaudy'. Customer was really happy with the card.
