New Idea--Need Feedback

I've been thinking about this idea for a while and talked it over with Ashby and we think it's wonderful for the holidays. Since I am so in love with my shredded money cards and tree money cards, what about a gift card holder made with the money paper? I would fold the paper in threes and have a way to hold the card inside. Would that be useful, wasteful, boring, or exciting?

I just spent a wonderful day with my friend, Beth, a cancer survivor, at a Relay for Life craft show. I planned on going and having fun and I did, plus I made a little extra money from my handmade paper too. My daisy cards were a big hit. I also gave away free gifts, with website info, and people were so pleased to get a gift! That will be something I do at all my shows in the future.

Papermaking Fun!!

On Friday when I was driving home from work, I stopped in a field and picked these flowers.

Then on Saturday, I spent time making paper and pressing these flowers in the paper.

There are simple cards and then there are the ones which I had fun
adding color of other HMP papers.





The picture on right is the wet paper pressed on a green army blanket, the picture above is after the paper has been pressed under a hydraulic press for 20 minutes


and I've transferred it to a white sheet to take it through a drying process. Check out my etsy store for these neat cards by the end of this week!!
