Flower Pot Card

Flower Birthday Card
Who doesn't love getting flowers for their birthday? I loved playing with flowers to see what looked the best for this card. Hopefully she loves it as much as I do! :)

• The shape of the flower pot is from the Cricut image library, and the vines were a free cut also from the Cricut library. I didn't cut the flowers the pot came with, since I wanted to use my own pre-cut paper flowers. As you can see, I distressed the edges so it would add more dimension. Next time, I would distress the card's edges as well...
• Each flower has three layers. I used my ATG Tape for the flower layers, and glue for the buttons. I was worried they would feel loose, but they're not going anywhere! You could also use a pretty brad for the center of the flowers
• I stamped the vellum envelope and added a tag to the front

Christmas Cards Galore!

Participating in this Christmas Market marked the first time I have sold any of my created projects. Typically, I only make gifts, help a friend with their project, or make a card to give someone. I entered this multiple-day endeavor with HascherMade (also a first-time seller), a good friend and talented seamstress! We rented a booth together to sell our crafts. Unfortunately, the event's turnout wasn't as good as we hoped, but we still learned a lot and enjoyed visiting with each other!

Marissa Kay Creation's Cards:
I made over 100 A2 cards, several different square cards, and numerous gift-bag tags. My Mom let me borrow her small spinning-rack (what a lifesaver!), and I used a small basket for the gift tags. I placed each card in a sandwich bag, and used a label to indicate its price (ranging from $2-$4). I had an inventory sheet where I could track which cards sold the most. Please, enjoy and be inspired!

This was my most popular card!
