Just a few new concepts for your cards -

Here are just a handful or so of some cards I have recently made for my friends - you will find a variety of occasions, from - bridal shower, birthday, friendship and so forth.

I just used some card stock, stickers, vellum, brads and other papers and quotes to create these cards. The one card in here has been created out of a paper sack - who would have thought that they are good for yet another thing. Remember - imagination is key!! If you canthink it - you definitely can create it!
Please leave me your feedback - what do you think? I would love to see some of your ideas and creations, too. You can always check out my website at www.daisykaye.com

Fun "THANK YOU" Cards

Isn’t it always nice to say Thank You to someone that you care about with a personalized card? These cards are as simple as just fun patterned paper with stickers - then adhered to a thicker cardstock.

This summer I have had so many friends and family members help me out with various things. They range from really simple acts of kindness all the way to going the extra mile and inconvenience to themselves.

Some of them have been waiting quite sometime for me to say thank you others it will seem like it was just the other day - all the same I love and appreciate you all.

The other day – I got in the zone and created so many cards. I just sat there with sweats on and the rain pouring outside with a couple of really good movies going in the background. Great atmosphere for card creating - huh?

Any how now I have to get these sent out! Thankfully, I have the cards done. Anyways, I thought I would post a few of my favorites. Perhaps they will give you ideas or you may want to comment on them and give me ideas, either way – ENJOY!

Homemade Custom Placemats

Creating homemade custom place mats for each member of your family is a fun way to connect. It is a lot of fun for your kids to choose their themes and items they want on their place mats.

Let the fun begin – what I like to do first is name placement. Then you can add the stickers around. Sometimes on the back of the place mat I put the alphabet or numbers as a border. I even use shapes (i.e. circles, squares and triangles) as well as colors – thus creating a learning mat.

I use a lot of my scrap booking items - stickers, die cuts, pretty much anything. It is also fun to use a picture of the person (I made place mats for my primary class one year. I just took a photo of each one of them, printed them off and created a place mat which had their name, photo and stickers of what they liked.) It turned out to be a nice surprise for them as well as their parents. This is pictured below -

My kids have used their place mats for play dough and painting. Mostly we use them to sit as a family for meals. It is a lot of fun.

It is a simple – yet fun gift to involve your kids in making for someone special.

Try it – let me know what you think!
