Welcome to the LBK Card Creations Blog. I've created this blog to share my card-making and other paper craft ideas. All the cards I make are purposely created to fit in a regular postage envelope and to be easy enough to make large numbers of them. I don't really make one of anything. If you like an idea I've shared or have suggestions regarding it, please feel free to post a comment.

Card: Birthday - Silk Flower
Inspiration: I really thought that flowers would look kind of nice with my silk method. But I'm a little disappointed in these. They just didn't turn out as cute as I'd hoped. If anyone has suggestions to improve on this idea, please share!
How I Made Them: For a good recap on how I did the silk part, refer to this post. When I sewed the flowers to the cards using embroidery floss, I tried to match the floss to the color of the petals and sew in the details of the petals. I wrote Happy Birthday using a green gel pen and tried to make it look like the leaves coming out from around the flower. The inside message was a simple "Have a sweet birthday!"
