Because, it's been awhile since I've made a card! My friend, Carol, had us over for a stamp night to "beef up our card stashes". Typically we have set cards ready to make but this was just come over, be creative, and pump them out. I was super excited to carve out some craft time. I left this card blank, but I think it would make a great sympathy card.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
We received so many generous gifts and meals for our family and our new baby girl. I wanted to make thank you's that were easy to reproduce. I think I've posted a similar card before (I got the idea for the patterned crib mattress from <a href="http://laurascardcorner.blogspot.com/">one Roell girl</a> or <a href="http://totogal62.blogspot.com/">the other</a>), but I switched this one up by folding a Memory Box card inside out to have white on the outside and a bunch of pink on the inside. I learned that inside-out trick from <a href="http://cronincompanystore.com/blog/">Maureen</a>.</div>

The cards had to be simple, easy to reproduce, and be able to lay fairly flat (to fit together in the packaging). A friend had given me a small <a href="http://www.impressrubberstamps.com/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Impress_flower_seq_kit&Category_Code=E2">sequin flower kit</a> from <a href="http://www.impressrubberstamps.com/index.html">Impress</a>. Even though the package was small it came with a ton of flowers and leaves! It worked great with the little basket from Memory Box.<br />

The cards had to be simple, easy to reproduce, and be able to lay fairly flat (to fit together in the packaging). I decided to remove the embellishments from <a href="http://karikards.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-can-always-count-on-you.html">this card</a> to make it a bit faster. I also fit it on an A2 card to go with the rest of the cards in the set.<br />

I went for a clean card with a bit of texture. I "whitewashed" some burlap and used a few punches. I decided not to stamp a sentiment to keep it simple.<br />

We each brought a case of root beer (or any beverage) and hot glued pipe cleaners for antlers, sparkly pom-poms for noses, and googly eyes for eyes. While this turned out cute, it was a bit time consuming. We decided that unless you know a specific beer a friend loves, the best way to do this is to use a champagne or sparkling cider bottle and just make one big reindeer.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Last year our mother daughter group made some Christmas crafts. I realized I never posted them. This one is "souper" fun. You take a pop-top can (soup can size*), cut open the bottom with a can opener (but leave one part attached), empty the contents, wash, rinse, and dry the can (really well). Then fill it with treats, a gift card, or little gifts. Finally hot glue the bottom shut and decorate the can. When you give the can to someone, they get to pop the top for their present. It's quite fun!</div>

*If you are going to make a bunch of these make sure the style of can you pick can actually be opened by a can opener from the bottom. We found that certain brands or types of foods couldn't be opened with a can opener from the bottom.</div>

I thought I would share a Christmas card that I located in <a href="http://karikards.blogspot.com/2012/02/craft-space-clean-up.html">my craft space overhaul</a>. It was made by my friend <a href="http://kathynakata.typepad.com/">Kathy</a>. She puts such amazing detail into every single card that she constructs. Each card is worthy of being framed!</div>
