Cards for Soldiers

Here are some of the cards I've made to send to soldiers for birthdays and other occasions....

This particular card I made from a card front I received from someone else. But you can use it (like all of mine) for ideas. :)

My Newset Addiction ~ Latest Obsession

Stamping!!! Cards!!! I love it!! I've gone nuts!!! I've had stamps for quite a while, but I've not really gotten into it until just recently. Now I'm buying stamps at Hobby Lobby, Wal Mart, Ebay and of course from my favorite Stampin' up demonstrator!

I've been signing and sending cards to soldiers overseas through various sources for about two months now. And now I'm creating my own!! I love it!! It let's me be creative, yet I don;t need a ton or storage space, nor a lot of space to do the work!! It's fantastic, but very addicting, I'm finding!! But at least I can use it for the benefit of others very easily!!

This one I made at a class with my Stampin' Up demonstrator. We used Pearl Ex powders and had a blast!

So, I'm going to post some of the cards I have made. From the beginning, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly....


















These first four I made to fit some envelopes I had laying around the house. That's yet another thing I love about this - I can recycle old stuff - scraps and bits of paper and ribbon, odd size envelopes, I can custom make these cards to fit the occasion, the person, the envelope!!! It's wonderful!!











The next three I also made to fit some extra envelopes I had, but these were legal size envelopes, so the cards were much bigger.
