I have a penpal and we’ve been exchanging letters/cards. She makes beautiful handmade cards and it was time I made her a handmade card. I pulled out my dusty papercrafting/card making supplies and made one that is an ode to Sunflowers my favorite flower!

I also decorated the envelope. I have it partially displayed in the image above behind the card because I’ve already addressed it.
(In case you are wondering, I got those little sunflowers from Hobby Lobby last year. The other supplies were in my stash and who knows where I got them as they are at least 5 – 15+ years old!)
Now that I have my card making supplies out (and I re-organized them too!), I am looking forward to making more cards!
it’s hard not to do ALL the crafts, isn’t it 😁

Very pretty card and envelope. My Mom gave me all her supplies to do this and there is a lot. I haven’t had time or energy to figure out what all the devices are for. She also makes card that are stitched into a design, so cool! I did make one when I visited them in Florida and love it. I went to buy a Father’s Day card at a pharmacy and they were all $6.99! They were stamped on a paper and glued on. 🤦🏽♀️ I waked out and went to our Dollar Store and bought a Hallmark card for $1.00.

Oh the stitched card – those are so cool I’d like to do that someday. Okay you have to find time to learn those devices so you can whip out some handmade cards on your own 🙂
That is cool you have made a card, I think it is pretty rewarding. It is obscene what cards cost at the store!
