Another joy of mine is making specialty cards.  I like designing different styles and catering them to various occasions for my friends.  About a year ago, I decided to market them to the public.  It has been a challenge as they are so time-consuming to make.  I spend time and energy on each one to make them unique and special.  

 At this time I am focusing specifically on making sets of Ayyam-i-Ha cards.  I used to do everything from scratch: folding and cutting black paper to size, printing the text on gold paper and cutting and gluing exquisite Japanese paper onto the card.  I have now found a printing company that will help me with the basic folding of beautiful shades of gold paper.  I also make sets of cards that have inspirational quotations from the Ruhi Institute books.  You can view some of the cards on the ‘Beautiful Items’ page on my website. I would love to hear your feedback or comments on the cards.  I hope you enjoy!
