Making Cards

Before I moved here, I planned to pursue the hobby of card making to occupy my time while Chase was studying. Well, 7 months later, I have made my first cards! Last night Sherri and I went shopping for some new tools and supplies. We purchased a paper crimper and an embosser. For those that aren't savvy, embossing is basically a 3-D effect for stamps. It was SO MUCH FUN being creative and singing along to old Whitney Houston songs!

These are my cards. The first one says 'from the heart' and the second says 'congrats' (embossed!). I guess I was feeling purple.

These are Sherri's cute cards! If you look close, the pink card and the black stripe were done with the crimper. How fun!!
