i like making cards.

i guess it has something to do with my love of snail mail and for all things handmade, but i love making my own cards and stationery. ever since i was a little girl, i loved making cards for people i loved.

here are some of my latest creations:

i've thought about possibly opening up my own etsy shop and selling some of these, but i'm not sure if i'll actually get around to doing it.

in the meantime, i'm enjoying creating things with my hands and sharing them with those i love.

what about you? do you like homemade cards? do you like to make your own?

  1. Tiffany, what kind of ink pens do you use? I've always LOVED Prismacolor for illustration and the like. Do you have a favorite kind you use?

  2. my roomie is so talented! i always admired the artwork you had in our dorm room, especially the one of the lighthouse. i love hand made cards and such, but i don't make my own. i paint pottery from time to time, but my artistic talent is very limited.

  3. Carly,

    I love Prismacolor too, but have never really been able to afford a whole set.

    So, what I typically use is:
    - Uni-ball VISION fine {for my black pens}
    - Sharpie ultra fine point markers {in various colors}
    - Crayola super tip washable markers {super cheap, but work surprisingly well}

    Hope this helps! :)
