Hey there A to Z’ers! “C” is for castle and today I have two castle cards to show you.
One is in the shape of a castle. There is a little brad as a doorknob. The inside shows a cute little princess and the cut out opens so you can write a secret message behind her.

Lighting for special effects – LOL |

The second one shows the castle in the background and a carriage on the front which holds the card closed.

A crown adorns one corner of the message and the envelope has some purple sparkle tape on it and some paper that matches the inside.

I think any little girl would love to get a card like this, don’t you? I even think there are a few older girls who might like it. I know I like to be a princess on occasion. Well, maybe queen instead of princess but queens can have glass slippers and ride in carriages can’t they? Just ask Elizabeth!
Check my Etsy site for more pictures of this one too. Thanks to everyone for their encouragement so far. I really appreciate it. Come back for “D” tomorrow.

Janet,
This is just beautiful! I would’ve loved to give my girls a card like this when there were small. I guess I can do it for my granddaughter when she’s a bit older.

Thanks Cathy. I made my daughters birthday cakes in the shape of castles. Very ambitious of me.

Your card is sweet. But you know when I see Castle I think of Nathan Fillion and where is he here? π

Sorry to disappoint, Ally. I had no idea who Nathan Fillion was so had to look it up. Guess I spend more time in the Studio and not so much watching TV. π

Laughing here. Castle was a good lighthearted police procedural TV show. And NF is kind of a heartthrob to some of us. Just saying…

Absolutely love that card! Great craftsmanship. By coincidence my daughter also
creates cards and sells on Etsy! What did we do before it existed?

I don’t know! What’s your daughter’s site? I’ll go give a shout out to her, card maker to card maker.

Thanks so much. I just contacted her about it and she told me it’s been put on hold as she now has a 4 month old baby taking up all of her time – my 4th grandchild in fact!!
