Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've designed and constructed handmade cards for years. This year I did some for one of the guilds I am in. I don't have a pic yet. But the neat thing about them is that they are puzzle cards. I used rubber stamping and complete hand-coloring to decorate premade puzzle-cards. I decided to use the stamping since I was relatively sure my printer wouldn't print on them sweatdrop . It was fun since I love doing art of any form and I always just sink into the creation when I get into the groove of art. The cards are simple but I think they turned out well. When I get a chance I will post a pic.
whee

I also put it in my signature but I did say I would post a pic 3nodding xd

pneumadragonfly, that looks so cute! I really like the whole puzzle idea smile

I didn't get a chance to make any cards this year, but I did some fun things with wrapping. For one I used the brown bag that I bought the gifts in and painted some swirls in silver and white acrylics, then used some thread to sew on some quick snowflakes and attached a 3d snowflake around the handle. Another one I did similar swirl designs in silver and gold on butcher paper. I wish I'd gotten some photos now!
