Cards for Karissa

Karissa is a friend and co-worker of my daughters.  They work at this fabulous local Mexican restaurant "La Finca Chaquita" and since my kiddo works there I am in there all of the time eating.  I will post the address at the end of this post.

Anyhoo last week when I was in having dinner the subject of my business came up.  Karissa has a sister that is going to have a baby and she wanted a 5-pack of assorted cards to add to her gift to her sister.  She gave me the colors that her sister likes and gave me the deadline.

Here is the 5-pack of cards that are made just for Karissa and her sister.  I only made one of each card so there will not be any for sale at the craft fair this weekend.  

Once again Pinterest was a huge inspiration and I had fun scrap-lifting and re-working some beautiful artwork.

As you can I scrap lifted the entire design, just changed the colors to fit my needs. This card was a great way to use up scrap cardstock and those last little bits of a paper pack.   i think it turned out beautiful.

I love the rustic feeling of this card but it also feels girly.  I think I did the Pinterest artwork some justice.

The original artist used washi tape but I wanted to use the last little bits that I had left over from the "For Always" paper pack.

Does this card look familiar?   I made a different version last week.

This is the one I did last week:

By changing the stamps and changing the colors used you can have an unlimited amount of patterns to choose from.

The last card does not follow the colors scheme but it screamed and wanted to be made.  Who am I to argue with artwork.

Have you ever bought a stamp set then not know what you wanted to do with it.  I bought this stamp set because it is so freaking cute then when I went to use it my mind went blank.  This pinterest inspiration was a perfect application of what can be done with this stamp set.

I love the vintage, school feel of the whole card.  But since Karissa wanted a shabby chic feel with the colors requested I needed to stick to her plan of action. 

As I promised here is the address of La Finca:

La Finca
107 N. Butler Road
Allen, Texas 75002

I am including a photo, it is so tiny that if you do not know what you are looking for you will pass it.  I know it does not look like much but you will be very happy you went in.
