Giraffe Folded Card and Button Note Card

I'm back from a one-day break.  Well, not really.  I had a class last night and wasn't able to post my new card before I had to go to bed.  So, for today, I have two cards!

My husband and I went on the photo caravan tour at the San Diego Wild Animal Park a few years ago.  We got a whole bunch of pictures with the giraffes.  One really interesting thing we learned about giraffes is that they can use their heads as a weapon.  So when the tour guide gave us eucalyptus leaves to feed to the giraffes, she told us to stand very still otherwise they would get scared and whack you with their heads!  Anyway, here is one of the many pictures we took that day.  This picture was the inspiration for my Giraffe Folded Card.

The giraffe folded card is an A2 folded card that features two giraffes.  The background on the front of the giraffe folded card (and the backside of the card) is an abstract print that I made.  The inside of the card has a customizable message (made to order!).

My second card is a Button Note Card.  The inspiration for the button note card came from a button book that I was reading a few days ago.  The button note card is A2 flat note card with a line of buttons at the bottom.  A thread is going through the holes of the buttons and forms the stitching around the edges of the note card.

Check back tomorrow for a baby shower card.  :)
