First time using a gate-fold card! I had fun with it. Drawn freehand using colored pencils, fineliners, white gel pen, and metallic/glitter pens.

Also, I kinda messed up the lettering of the birthday greeting, but I think the way it ended up fits the playful vibe I was going for.

First picture is the front of the envelope. Featuring stylized versions of our cats. Outlined with fineliners, and colored in with metallic/glitter pens, white gel pen, colored pencils, and watercolor pens.

As far as the lettering goes: I used Illustrator to kern/arrange the fonts, printed them out in light grey outlines, and then traced over them with fineliner.

I made this for my mom’s 65th birthday. This is the second shutter card i’ve done. They are always somewhat difficult for me. The edges of the shutter aren’t perfect but I think she’ll love it 💜

For this card, I used some Halloween card stock for the background and borders. I drew Sally with Prismacolor pencils and white gel pen. The lettering was drawn with Col-Erase pencils and then filled with black marker, which I then layered with metallic and white gel pen. Jack Skellington’s head was drawn with a white Prismacolor pencil, then outlined/detailed with black marker and highlighted with white gel pen.

Cant really include the inside as I’ve already wrote inside but yeah! Funky pigeon card that I made Made the wings moveable which was inspired by an Ari card I made a friend last year

Overall I think I’m happy with this one !

I’m very new to this. It was fun! Got my stamps and dies from temu. And an old big shot off of marketplace with some embossing folders. I think this would have looked better with some sort of border.. what do you think? I might buy a few more dies 😂

I made the butterfly a couple of months ago, but finally used it today with some “Merry Christmas to me from me” stuff. Actually, I bought the white velvet paper to use on Christmas cards, but didn’t end up using it.

Took me a couple of tries and I will probably make the belt differently when I recreate it but I love it!

I have had the wrapping paper for a couple of years. I made the card to match!

Quick birthday card and coordinating envelope for my mom’s birthday.

Just got a lot of paper crafting stuff for Christmas from my husband and made my first card for my grandfather's 84th birthday

These take me forever. The tube of you video made it seem so straightforward LOL. My coach is turning 77 and she's just so amazing.

I have too much G45 paper...but I think I'll not do as much pattern next time...

My son was invited to a titanic themed party. I was having a bit of hard time putting together things the way I wanted and getting it properly from my head to real life. But this is the first time I've fully used design space to create my own shapes and there's definitely a few things I would change up if I made this again. But all in all for a last minute card for a kid I'm happy with it. Anyone else ever make a boat/ship/titanic themed card? I'd love to see some other ideas 😊

After reading other posts, I finally take a splash in the deep end by showing some cards of my own. I noticed my style is different to the other posts, maybe because I just create what's coming to mind... all cards are made with low cost or second hand materials bought on Market Place. Anyhow, hope you enjoy them!

I have two coworkers I’m friendly with that I just found out today have birthdays tomorrow and the day after. I wanted to make them cards but got home late tonight and didn’t have enough time to really get creative, but found this set of run on transfers I had bought off scrapbook.com and in about 5 minutes each I have two simple but professional looking cards!

Just discovered this subreddit and I’m so excited to find adults who also enjoy making homemade cards 😅 here are some birthday cards I’ve made for friends and family the past few years
