making cards by hand

Jump to Comments

Since I’ve moved to Austin, I’d gained a few penpals – friends from back home in Oregon. It’s one thing to keep in touch via Facebook message or text, but to receive a hand-written or even BETTER a hand-made, hand-written card – such a wonderful mailbox treat (=

At first, I began purchasing cards to send; however, being the granola that I am, in combination with my borderline obsession with arts + crafts, I figure there is no need to buy something new, when I have the materials and interest to make something of my own (=

Card to my roommate – she’s finishing up her degree in Architecture / of course arch. at U of O is huge into incorporating sustainability, so I figured this would be appropriate.  I found this article in a magazine and the card itself is made out of a cereal box (=

Ok, so this one I didn’t make, per se, but…I had fun with caption writing. Maybe I should become a copy writer. ha. not!

Sweet Leaf tea wrapper! Glued to some recycled paper – always a winner (=

I went on a hike at Pedernales Falls and liked the map we got…so, I made post cards!

More fun with stickers and caption-writing… (=

Let’s be honest. I don’t care how old/young you are – who wouldn’t love getting a package COVERED in stickers?!

Made after raiding my mom’s craft closet at home (=

More to come soon!!
