I needed to make a card.
Er, wasn't that the whole point of this paper, ink, and stamp thing to begin with? I vaguely remember that. I was going to save money by making my own cards. Yeah, that's it.

a while ago, and said to myself, "that's it, I'm getting this out of the package, TODAY, dag nab it." I'm not sure if those were my exact words. The only one around to witness it was Rocky, and he's not talkin'.
Anyhoo, I started fiddling around with this, one thing led to another, you know how it goes, and I ended up making a few more cards than the original ONE I was intending to make. I'm no Jennifer McGuire or Shari Carroll, but I think they turned out pretty good. Let's just say that any future recipients will probably like them. I left an area on some of them blank so I can make the greeting fit the occasion at any given moment. Now, I know I'm not supposed to critique my work, but I've listed some of my OBSERVATIONS about each card under the picture. You can agree or disagree with me, I really don't care, but I'm filing these in some small part of my memory that might be left, for future reference.

| Placement - ok. Colors - good. Should have left color off of edge. |
 |
| I really like this embossed background. Placement - so so, not the best. Colors - good |
 |
| LOVE the paisley background. Placement-really good. The middle of the big flowers are dimensional, you just can't tell. I think this might be my fave. |
 |
| Note-do not use the swirl embossing with these die cuts. Too much swirly crap going on. Placement - good, colors - love. |
Thanks for stopping by!
17 watcha thinkin'?:
These cards are really nice. Thanks for sharing these. Love them.
Beautiful, every one! Plus, I love it when I get to see bunches of options from a single beginning "product" ... isn't it amazing how with only a little change here and there you can make so many unique pieces?
p.s. disagree about the swirly crap ... it's just the right amount of, ahm, crap. :)
I love coming to your blog--you always tell it like it is with great humor! I'm having the same issue with layouts these days. but I still love your cards.
Love the cards...enjoyed your critique. I do that, too, but haven't voiced my thoughts to anyone other than the cats or hubby. I think I agree with all your comments. Glad you had some time to just sit and play..especially with something new.
Great cards and your own critiques made me smile! I like the colour round the edge of the top one... you had a good play - that IS what it is all about!
All of them are lovely! The paisley background really does make the flowers pop - I think that's my favorite, too. (Although it's real close with the first card...)
I love your vocab, Lori... dag nabit, swirly crap and all!
I also really like that paisley background. But what I like most is the idea to just leave the sentiment off and put in whatever you need when you are ready to send it... brilliant!
Great cards Lori, can you come over and make me open up mine and make something with them? LOL, I bought 5 or 6 of these and only used 1 so far.
So you don't care what we think then Lori...........yea right.......lol
Great cards and can see you are having a ball. x
Pretty good - huh... they are absolutely beautiful!!!!
I like all of your cards! Placement and colors are awesome. Anyone who was lucky enough to get one of these would love it!
Too much swirly crap??? Oh, girl - I so love your blog! And I have to say - I like the color around the first one - so, there! :-p
These are all great!!!
You are so funny - love your comments about each card. We really have to meet someday!
I'm glad you shared these. I think the stamp/die is cool, but I never quite 'got' how they worked. Your cards are ALL lovely!!
They're all fab Lori, love those embossed backgrounds! xox
Wowza GF, you did FAB! Luv your cards.....so we both started the same way huh, save $ and make cards....but what do we know! btw, I tried hard to do the WV challenge, used her stamps, and it sure looked like a TH card...so, needless to say, I dumped it and will try the next challenge! lol...but I tried.
Great purchase, you've made some amazing cards with it!
