Handmade Card Swap.. What I sent

I recently took part in Mezz's Handmade Card Swap, which was great fun. I don't usually make cards, I love finding interesting ones at opshops, but loved this challenge so joined in. My swap partner was Shella who writes the blog BellaRae. We exchanged a couple of emails and got making. Here is what I made for her. I got hit with the creative stick and made envelopes as well. Oh and threw in a box of her favourite tea.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
My handmade envelopes with a piece of my handmade fabric tape inside to seal them..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I wrote in a thrifted card and bought some tea,
 
 
 
I wrapped them all up in vintage fabric and wallpaper and sent them off.
 
 
With some left over paper scraps, I made a quick bunting for the kitchen. You can never have too many bunting!!!
 
 
Do you make your own cards? Maybe Ive given you some ideas for handmade cards and envelopes. I would love to know if I have inspired you. But a big thanks goes to Mezz for hosting this card swap!
 
I recieved my parcel from Shella, and am very excited to share what she sent me with you, so keep your eyes on here!!
