Easel Card " Butterflies & Birds"

This is an easel card which I did recently and I love the final look of the card where I used a combination of die cut pieces from older collections and some cut outs from the newer collections. The final look is a pleasing collage of butterflies and birds.

Some stamping was also done and I stamped a chandelier in light blue ink so that it doesn't look too overwhelmed with the overall design.


What I like about the card is that the cover can be propped up, much like an art piece. For the inside of the card, instead of using a washi tape, I used a border with a flourish edge.

This month, I'm a little tight on finances so I have to cut down a little on my crafting expenses.  If you notice, I don't really charge a lot for my handmade goodies. Not that I can't do it but I want to make them affordable as that's one of my goals for running this online shop.

Back to the story of my life, haha. I realize that I have also been cutting down on buying things from the facebook group. So far, what I notice in the group is almost always the same people buying. I wonder if they'll end up using what they bought because they seem to be buying a lot and with such fast fingers. I used to want almost everything like I don't know, somehow I thought I will lose out if I don't buy them. I will also try to check out the collections every week and have to somehow go down that very evening or at most the next day. Luckily, ever since school starts, I don't have the  luxury of time to go down after work. If there's really a need due to custom orders and I don't have the stuffs back home, I can only make use of Tuesday to run some errands.

The thing is, it's not a matter of accumulating as much pretty things as possible. I can tell you that you will forget these things ever exist the minute you get your hands on the newer collections. Just like how I cut down on buying make up stuffs. Yes, my other love. I'm not a make up artist and I don't wear lipstick when I go to work or school and I hardly go out with my friends. So I don't need another container of lipsticks, haha.
