Homemade Cards

I spent some time at the end of last week creating a few cards for some special people. I love crafting things - especially when the purpose is to use the creation to bless someone else.


This first card idea comes from Lady Lydia's blog. She's provided the instructions and template to cut out here. I LOVE the quaint look of this card! It went to a friend of mine who treated me to lunch last week - a bright spot on a rainy day. We dined on Tomato-Tarragon Bisque and Tomato-Bacon Quiche with a view of the river. I went there with the hopes of being of encouragement to her and left being encouraged myself. She's a Titus 2 older woman who intentionally makes it a point of ministering to younger mothers. I came away feeling inspired by her example, thankful that I got to know her better, and encouraged by the wisdom she shared.


This card was inspired by an idea I saw at this helpful, card-making idea site. It went to the lady who blessed us with her piano last week. She loved music, and I thought this card would be appropriate. You could buy scrapbook paper with the musical design on it, but I just photocopied an old page of music and tore it around the edges for the card.
