Top Ten cards in 2012

Here are my top 10 cards I made this year.  All but 3 were for OWH.

The first one (Praise God) was made for the nursing staff at Mt. Carmel Hospital when my father-in-law had his open heart surgery.









 The wedding card was made for my friend's son and daughter-in-law who got married this year. And this deer one was my son's b-day card.
Have a blessed 2013...and keep your heart open to change someone's life.  Susan

    What a fabulous array of cards! I love that you took time to make a card for the hospital who treated your FIL too! They're lucky people, just like our heroes are to receive your cards! Happy New Year!

    I really enjoyed seeing each of your beautiful cards! I plan to CASE your card with the 4 little hearts; love it. The bride & groom card is fab; wish I'd had that in July when my son got married! The deer card you made for your son is a stunning masculine card! Keep it going in 2013! Happy New Year!

    I love these - the cut outs with buttons is so cute and the ribbon popped out the punch - so clever

    Awesome group of cards! I really like that pink and brown one with the bluish button. And the wedding one is a first for me. Would love to know how you did it. Change the colors and you've got a year round "love" card :) TFS and Happy New Year!

    I enjoyed your cards... can't pick a favorite, but loved the deer card, and the little hearts too, and the stars and buttons on red, white, and blue. Pat Kinkaid

    Love all your cards, especially the first two. Really cool how you used a circle punch to make a place for the buttons.

    Thanks for all the great comments.

    The wedding card...start with white cardstock for the base. Emboss a small white block (about 1" square), set aside.

    Cut the dress out but use scrap paper so you get the right fit before using cardstock. I then embossed the top and bottom. I also used glimmer mist on the dress Use a piece of ribbon, tulle or fabric for the waist and button or bling.

    For the tux, I used textured black cardstock so it looked more like a suit. And it the same size as the front of the card. I cut a slit for the opening and folded back the lapels. Slip the 1” white square and glue down. The buttons are black pearls. The buttonaire is a small piece of paper twisted and rolled. The bow tie is a small piece of black ribbon knotted.
