A Wishlist Holiday Card

I made a wishlist holiday card for one of my friends. 

She's really into lace, the color pink, and owl jewelry.
I feel like a lot of the items are more appropriate for the fall season, but I wear fall items all year round :)

A Fashion Holiday Card. Featuring a Look Book.

One of my friends and I are collaborating on a fashion project this month so I thought I'd make a fashion-themed holiday card for her:

On the inside, I taped a look book I compiled from this past year's fashion. 

I used an ink pen and watercolor pencils.

Excuse my poorly executed (and halfhearted) limbs. 

I figured even empty space could be better than my really ugly drawings of hands.

Holiday Cards, Part 2

Here are some more of those Holiday Cards: 

I distinctively remember making these while watching YouTube clips of The Ellen Show (particularly an old interview of her with Michelle Obama). Did you know that Ellen and I share the same birthday? Fun fact.

This one is supposed to resemble a Christmas tree with lights around it.

For fun, I wrote "LOVEU NITYA!" on the back side of the Christmas lights. :)

Holiday Cards, Part 1

Here are some of the Holiday Cards I made for my friends this year:

These two were a lot of fun. I basically cut out smaller pieces of paper and made snowflakes out of them with scissors and strung them together with floss.

This one was also made by threading floss through pieces of paper.

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and had an amazing start to the new year :)

Flossy Flags

My schedule was pretty squeaky clean free so I decided to start cranking out some cards.

The first is for a friend of mine whose birthday was during my finals week so I put together a card for her. 

I tried stringing floss to the postercard paper and stringing pieces of glued paper so they could hang off the floss and spell things out. Then I hid the holes by gluing little icons over them (like the balloon and party hat and crown). It worked out pretty well!

Wooooot.

I made another card for my new neighbors that are moving in next door. All the houses look the same on our street, so I shaped the card like our houses and stringed a "Welcome!" message. 

...and the final product:

I hope they like their cards...

It felt good to have time to get all crafty again.
