Last night a local music club held their annual charity event. My fiance and his friend were set to play on stage - they're a beautiful guitar-trumpet reggae/ska/blues duo - and I thought I'd get involved as well - you know, for charity.
Firstly, I was a slave in the slave auction, offering to give a craft class. Secondly, I donated 2 sets of cards to the tombola.
I made a set of 5 Christmas cards:
And I added a set of my summertime birthday cards:
I went a bit overboard on the packaging - but I don't care, because I love packaging.
The people who won my cards were over the moon, which put a smile on my face, and the craft class was won by a gentleman whose daughter is thinking about going on to art college - I'm really looking forward to that one. More news will follow!
Your cards are beautiful, I love the way you have done your packaging!!!!! So pretty! :)
ReplyDeletelovely cards and packaging! Glad you saw the winners reaction, a bit of positive feedback. The class sounds like fun, and if they are all a bit arty you're half way there. Sounds likes a fun night.
ReplyDeleteThe packaging really does give "added value" - it looks wonderful.A great thing to do!
ReplyDeleteHey there... I think you did an awesome job... and yes I love how your package your handmade goods!!! cause guess what??? I just received mine... thank you dear...its beautiful and your rak goes so beautifully in my room.
ReplyDeleteI love how you packaged your cards. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous ... the packaging is half the fun isn't it. and I bet it went down a storm.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl
ReplyDeleteI won the Cards at the Kam Klub, they are gorgeous and I have shown them to serveral people. Now, absolutely no promises that this will work but it is worth a try. I have shown your cards to a client of mine who may order some as their Christmas cards. Normally they use UNICEF or similar but are will to support a local Artist. I'm on holiday next 4 weeks but get my email from Lindley and hopefully !!!!!
