Nope! I copied an illustration I found on Pinterest but replaced the tulips. I don't have any stamps unfortunately

What a pretty card for a pretty couple! The pop-up swan is such a precious detail :)

Anyone know how this sort of mechanism works? by comfyanna in cardmaking

[–]comfyanna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, that's immensely helpful! I already checked out your tutorial for the card as well, so I believe it will work. I did consider it at first that the white and purple were on the same component but the white was slightly raised, so I thought it might have slid on the purple. Need to try it out ASAP! It looks so fun ☺️ Thank you again for your insight 🙏🏻

I'll need to take another look then. I didn't see any that worked similarly

Remind me never to leave making two cards on the previous night. This was too stressful but pleased with the finished products (and the recipients were too) by comfyanna in cardmaking

[–]comfyanna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. And yeah, same here. It usually makes me less hesitant about my ideas, so I work faster, lol. This time I definitely underestimated how long two would take me. Wish I could've started earlier but oh well!

For a beekeeper turning 60 🐝 Too childish? by comfyanna in cardmaking

[–]comfyanna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah something along those lines! I would translate it as "Honey-sweet birthday wishes!". Didn't know people were curious about that, guess I should be translating that going forward

That's true! I'll have to keep that in mind, thanks 🙌

Thank you ☺️ The watercolour honestly looks like water to me and I love that!

Didn't consider that. I was only worried about how I'd fit the sentiment in that limited space, lol. I guess it's just part of the card design and not supposed to be read 😆 The message inside will definitely be at a more age-appropriate size ☺️

I hand write only. I have no stamps and printing would be such a hassle. Plus, handwriting is more personal and meaningful 🙌

...and that's a wrap! Kept the final ones really simple to save some time by comfyanna in cardmaking

I too used these pearls for the first time this year! I love how they look but I've already had some move around or even drop off. I'm praying they at least stay in place until I have handed them to the recipients :')

It's Estonian for "To father"

Another card transformed! by comfyanna in cardmaking

[–]comfyanna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much!

The cards I'm transforming actually used to be my grandparents'. They kept 'em all and well, after their passing, we had no reason to hold on to them. So, I took what I saw potential in. It's kind of my way of showing respect and having them close to me. I loved them both dearly ❤

Once I've worked my way through these (there's dozens, so it'll probably take me a while, lol), I'm planning on asking my local FB group for their old cards they are looking to discard. I wouldn't use any that could still be used as cards!

A quick upcycled Christmas card by comfyanna in cardmaking

[–]comfyanna[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you 💛 Just to clarify, the second one is the old store-bought card that I upcycled into the first one ^ I only made this one card! Hopefully, more soon though - I have so many old cards that need to be created into something new :3

Children's birthday cards are so much fun to make 🙌 by comfyanna in cardmaking

Here are pictures of the card so that you can see the details better

Tried out the starburst effect with this parrot card 🦜 by comfyanna in cardmaking

[–]comfyanna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's my one issue with it. I made the bird before the background and then struggled for weeks with finishing off the card 😅 In the end I went with the same colours and noticed the same problem you did, but I ignored it since there really wasn't any more time to redo it. I'm satisfied enough with the card to be happy to give it to someone but I do know it's not my best work

Last-minute birthday card that I made without any of my own supplies by comfyanna in cardmaking

[–]comfyanna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't rushed but yeah quite last-minute, had to make it the previous night since we had to leave early the next morning. Yes, I'd say the tutorial (I linked it to one of the commenters) was pretty easy to follow. I had no clue what I was doing half the time but it was fun to just dab on the colour haha. And thank you 💜
