Weekly Card

Custom stamped cards mailed weekly to my friends and family. Stamps are FUN!!

For this "get well soon" card I just wanted to just fit as much positivity and color and FUN as I could. I think it turned out well, with only a few spacing a border issues.

It was a lot of fun making this card for a friend who recently started naval officer candidate school. I think the stamps add a fun personalization touch and I like the doubled effect. Hope he liked it!

Here’s a simple one for another friend’s birthday. I wanted to try out some words with multiple colors, which I haven’t done much of. I like the effect here and look forward to trying it with other color combinations. Then I used the edges of the “B” stamp to give the whole phrase a bit more character. This design is easily replicable so I could see it being used in cards sets in the future.

My girlfriend needed some help with a card for her sister and had seen this concept online. We had fun trying to recreate it using the borders of the stamps to look like scrabble tiles. I'm really happy with how the stamped part turned out but I wish my handwriting was better for the other words! That will be something to work on. I'm also realizing that I'm going to have to get super imaginative to avoid just using basic stamped words or phrases for every card throughout this project. Also, if this is your original card idea - it's brilliant and hilarious! I hope you don't mind me trying it out, I didn't profit off this and am just a fellow scrabble fan trying to have some crafty fun.

This week my card is for a good friend's birthday. I like the aesthetic of simple letters in bright colors on this off-white card stock, so you'll see it often. I'm working on my spacing and trying to minimize those little stampy corner accidents but I'm pretty happy with how this one came together. This friend moved from NYC to LA a few years back so I like to reference Brooklyn whenever possible to remind him to visit. How long does mail take to get across the country? Hope it makes it in time!

What are you doing here?

Welcome! How did you find this place?

Making custom stamped cards for friends and family has been a hobby of mine for a while now. I love arts and crafts and I love getting mail that isn’t pre-approved Capitol One loans. I decided that it would be fun to formalize it and try to send out at least ONE card per week. This blog will be a fun way to keep a log of my work and hopefully hold myself accountable to that goal. And maybe someone will enjoy checking them out?
