Special cards for gifts

Ah! Back at the studio table -- which is actually my kitchen island, not a table. Got this idea for making quick gifts or "give aways" for friends and people who take my classes. They all measure approximately 3 1/2" x 4 1/2". They all have vintage buttons, lace, ribbon or other pieces.This one has a gold applique that I found while rummaging through a drawer in the spare bedroom. Recognize the little face? It's from the Barbie picture stands a couple of blogs ago -- see below.Old mother-of-pearl (MOP) buttons. You can stamp on ribbon. But make sure you stamp on a piece of paper first so that your second stamp is lighter.Old MOP scarf slide or belt slide. The ribbon is from Mystic Paper.Ah! See a small gift for the upcoming Annie Oakley class?? I have done a bunch more, but will not take up space right here. Maybe I will post them later on the right side of the blog. Again, I was just searching through my box of trims and my scrap box for trim and images. The basic cards are from the Instant Memories and Memories of a Lifetime books that have the CD's. Lots of good stuff in those!!
