Daphne found this project online the other day, and we both liked it so much that we decided to do it that night. So I did a “practice” one first.
I finished it fairly quickly, but I must admit I cheated. I just used that same line of patterned paper to make the cards, tags and gift cards. That one went to Mae. Then Daphne suggested that we swap the sets that each of us made. So I figured I better get to work on a “real” one. I made that one using the Black Orchid papers that Daphne likes. I did put a lot more effort into that one, embellishing the tags and stamping sentiments on the gift cards, even make actual greeting cards (although again, i cheated on a couple – and then poor daphne had to color her own, since i don’t keep “THE markers” here).
