My Hand-made Cards

As a young girl, I always wanted to give something special to my family on days like Mother's day, Father's day, birthdays etc but what?! was the only issue. I couldn't buy them gifts because I was too young to go out on my own and it wouldn't have been a surprise for them otherwise. So, I had to put on my thinking cap and just be creative.

 Therefore, since my early years I have been making cards and other stuff for my family and friends. I believe gifting people something that you've made yourself makes it more special.

Below I'm displaying some of my recent hand-made cards with their description. I hope you like them and feel inspired :)

Remember, there's ALWAYS something you can do for those whom you hold close to you! :)



Full Size Birthday Card by Jadirah Sarmad (jadesmoke04.blogspot.com)


I made this full size card out of purple cardboard and white crepe paper for my best-friend's 19th birthday last year. I know the doodle I did with crayon on the top looks silly but I couldn't "undo" it later!



Birthday Card by Jadirah Sarmad (jadesmoke04.blogspot.com)


I made this card for my another best-friend's 19th birthday last year. I used red crepe paper to make those spirals in different sizes and stuck them on with glue.



Farewell Card by Jadirah Sarmad (jadesmoke04.blogspot.com)


I made this card  for a friend of mine who left for a university out of city. Except for the heading, everything else on the cover is glitter work. This looks quite simple but things got very messy when I was working on it.



Anniversary Card by Jadirah Sarmad (jadesmoke04.blogspot.com)


I made this card for my parent's anniversary in October in less than half an hour and that explains the shabby borders. I sketched the bride and groom on a piece of paper and then stuck their cut-out over a spring (it's not visible in the picture)



That's that, I hope you enjoyed this post! :)

p.s: handling crepe paper is not an easy task because it's just too delicate :/
and BTW occasionally I also write poems for my friends and family :)
