Handmade.

“That’s the thing with handmade items.
They still have the person’s mark on them,
and when you hold them, you feel less alone.”
― Aimee Bender, The Color Master: Stories

“Time to Celebrate Birthday card” inside.

“Time to Celebrate Birthday card” back.

Some of the supplies and tools I used were:
“Time to celebrate” cling Stamp Set by Graphic 45 from Hampton Art, Wood Mounted Rubber Stamp-Recollections-Sheet Music Score, ink-pad, eye shadow applicator, acrylic block, Envelope, blank card, Hand-stamped wood mounted stamp by Stampin up!, small scissors, pencil, etc. 

Planning my card.
The front of the finished card is 4″x 5″

I ink my stamps and then try them on a scrap piece of paper before stamping on my paper. I cut out, ink the edges and glued the stamped images on the card.
Did you notice that I used the whole set?

I keep my bookmarks, cards, tags, etc. in We R Memory Keepers – 12 x 12 Page Protectors – Multi Pack – 10 Pack in a binder.
