Get carded - various occasions

Hello! Although I hadn't shown off any greeting cards in awhile, that doesn't mean that I haven't made any lately! So now I'll let you see what I'd crafted over the past few weeks:

For Father's Day, of course. Can you guess what my dad's favorite color is? If you said "green" you'd be correct! So here we have:

white cardstock

dark green art paper

DAD letters (actually meant to be used to label mailboxes with last names; a thrift store find) stamped with forest green StazOn ink

"Happy Father's Day" stamped with black StazOn ink.

I'm pleased to report that my dad liked his card a lot! He tells me often that I should sell them.

The above card was sent to an out-of-state acquaintance. For this one, I used:

white cardstock

off-white art paper piece

vintage holy card, a thrift store find. It's over 100 years old and appears to have been made to keep track of attendance for a church function, perhaps Sunday school. Very pretty picture, and as the card recipient is quite devout in her faith, I figure she'd appreciate it.

"Hello" stamped on white cardstock scrap with black StazOn ink

Last card on this post is shown above; it was a very kind lady's birthday and I always try to make special cards for her.

My friend seemed pleased with her card! Several years ago, our budding friendship was cemented in part by a greeting card - she had unexpectedly shown me a favor, so I made a simple but pretty thank you card for her. I always say when in doubt, give a thank you card - it will always be appreciated, I think! Because I had done so with her, she wanted to get to know me better.
