I made this card with both the friend notation and blank on the front.  I used music sheet paper that is the Happy Birthday song on the inside and made the card shaped like a piano. There is an area at the bottom to write your own personal message.

This is a very nice card to give to someone who may be ill or for a birthday or anything in between. For this card I made it into a birthday card. I used shades of green and colored in the flowers with pink watercolor pencils and green for the leaves. On the left side I used some designer paper for an extra dash of color.

Here are three cards I made using the August Paper pumpkin kit called Hope.  I love all the colors in this kit.  If you don’t know what Paper Pumpkin is it is a subscription kit that comes to you each month.  You receive all the supplies you would need to make cards or paper decorations.  There is still time to purchase the kit for October.  The cut off date is usually the 10th of each month.

Each card is different but also blends well together.  This would be a great gift to give someone as a collection of cards. I left the inside blank so a personal note can be written.
