Child's Play

I've gone crazy for Eclips card cutting. There are just so many cute cards to cut and envelopes are a breeze too. Shown here are just two of the cards I whipped up and embellished. To the ladybug card I added flower brads so the wings would be movable. Pipecleaners and googly eyes added more dimension. The strawberry card was brightened by a glittered 'Thank You' and the Eclips cut the dimples on the fruit. By making a matching envelope or lining one with matching paper you can really jazz up a card. If you have children who always seem to need birthday, thank you, etc. cards, having an Eclips means that you can make a box of card parts for them so they can create a handmade card whenever they need one. A bottle of glue, some stickers, flowers, and other embellishments will be all you need to get their creative juices flowing. You'll save time and money too. Even my husband got creative for my birthday and made an 'interesting' card for me using pieces from my card parts box. Card making is satisfying and useful. If my husband can do it, so can you and your children!
