Finally! Figured out how to print nicely and cut in a straight line
Not-so-shameless plug (hey, you’ve been asking!): These are freshly posted in my etsy, if you’re interested.

I can’t believe this is the last day! I’ll post one more thing tonight (this post is for yesterday).
Thing-a-day really got me goin! I’m feeling so… useful haha
Seriously though, is there a year round community for this? I want to keep going. I guess I could start my own blog, but having a community to interact with would be way better! Does anyone know? I cant find any info about it on the thing-a-day site.
My friend Erin has been very into making cards for the past month or so. You can see a gallery of many of her works here. I was over at here house today and she suggested that I make one. I thought I might as well. Well, I was not prepared for the amount of cardmaking supplies she has amassed. It took me a little while just to absorb the incredible choices available to me. I ended up making the following two cards:
The quote on the second one says “It’s the ones you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that matter.” I pretty much chose that quote because it fit on the card, after the fish and plant were in place.
This probably shouldn’t even actually count, as simple as they were to make. I made three tiny little valentines for co-workers. They are about 2 inches wide and so cute. It’s just a heart printed on card stock with colored paper glued inside (one is lavender, one pink, the other coral). I wrote a little note in each. Since I am always the first in the office, tomorrow I will leave them on their desks with a Hershey’s Kiss.
The second card is for a dear friend. Same idea as the mini hearts, but this is a multi-floral design with the Kaba in the center. I got the design off a friend’s website, printed it on card stock and glued coral paper inside.
I also worked a bit on the box from yesterday which I am completely redoing, but haven’t finished it yet.
Thing 12 is a birthday card for my friend Jen - I took the photo before I wrote in it, so you’ll have to imagine that part. I wrote birthday wishes on pieces of white paper, cut them out in cloud shapes, and stuck them to the inside under the pop-up sun.
The inside looks better in person, you can’t see through the sun to the folds behind it so much!
Wednesday the Sixth: apart from having an emotional meltdown, I managed to make four cards. I didn’t see the common theme (the band along the bottom) until I whacked them all together for this photo. Can’t believe I made four cards with the same element without realising!
