cards for marriott

okay so b's boss wants to hire me to make 12 cards a month to give to different associates inviting them to brunch. so here are my two options. gender friendly, has to be the kind of card when opened you know immediately what it is and for, simple yet creative. nothing over the top because...well men are boring and don't like a whole lot of...fluff! i like them both. can't decide which one is better. i'll let the men decide that one.

conference weekend project

this is what i am spending my conference weekend doing.

b asked me to make a invite card for his manager's outing in november. he said that i needs to be done by sunday so he can get it to his boss for next week. and since he will be in utah next week...he has given me 3 days to make 30 cards. no problem, i thought.

so i sat him down with a binder with sample cards and my cards box that i keep all my card swap cards in...that's a lot of 'cards' in one sentence....anyway....and he chose...i think it's ashley's 'pull' card with all the flaps. great. so i went out yesterday to find some paper...i wasn't sold on that card yet so i played with other options. i mean come on...30 of those flap cards? anyway i chose a piece of paper at michael's, $0.25 sale on all paper, and went home to play. i ended up doing that card...because b really liked that one...and really there's not a whole lot i won't do for my cute husband...
after typing all the info into computer,
printing it in the right dimensions,
a TON of custom cutting, thanks b,
stamping and antiquing around the edges...
i created an assembly line for production.
