Baby Cards

When you buy a card from Light in My Pathway, you not only getting quality but you also get something no one else has. That means when you buy a card for a baby shower you don't have to worry about someone giving the same card....unless of course they get it from me 😉. Even then I can make the card entirely different or simply change the sentiment or the color of the image or the type of patterned paper. Either way the card won't be identical.

Here are some baby cards that are available in the online store and at The Market at 76067.

I love this stamp. This is a Unity Stamp created by artist Tierra Jackson.  I colored the giraffe with alcohol markers and cut out.

































This card I paper pieced by stamping the image on solid colored paper and cut it out. I love how this turned out.
























































Let me know how Light in My Pathway can meet your greeting card needs.

May Light be in your pathway 😊.

Guy Cards

One of the harder cards to find and make are Masculine. "Guy cards". You know the ones that don't require lacy, sparkle and flowers? That should make them easy right?! Not necessarily.

Here is a very simple Happy Birthday "Guy Card".

This image is by Unity Stamp Company called "Forrest Guy" created by artist Angie Blom.











I can also change out the sentiment to whatever occasion you need.

















This is another great image to use for that special man in your life. This can be used as a "birthday", "thank you", or "thinking of you".












Most guys like cars right?! And who doesn't like the classic Mustang?!

This is a great image for a masculine card. This too is a Unity Stamp. This one is designed by artist Tiera Jackson








These cards can be purchased online or if you live in the Mineral Wells Area from The Market at 76067.

None of these really what you're looking for? Give me a call or email. I have trucks, horses, dogs, fishing. I'm sure to have something to help you celebrate your guy 😉.

May light be in your pathway 😊

Anniversary Cards

I had two customers ask for special anniversary cards. One needed a card for a 50th anniversary and the other a 70th anniversary. Yes, you read correctly 70th! Not many of those!

I asked the customer what the couple's wedding colors were and used those to color the image.














I did some checking to find out what the colors are for a 70th wedding anniversary and learned it's Platinum. This isn't actually platinum but it was the best I could do.

The customer was very pleased and I was relieved 😌.



Do you need a special anniversary card?  Light in My Pathway can create that special numbered anniversary.

May light be in your pathway.

Sympathy

One of the type of cards that is much needed is sympathy. Not only for people that we love but also for people who have lost a beloved pet.

Our pets are like family and we grieve for them just the same.

I recently had a request to make a sympathy card for the loss of a pet. I did not have a stamp of the breed of dog but I had a dog stamp.

I made this card and showed it to the customer. She said it was perfect!







Here is the inside of the card.

If you're in need of a sympathy card for whatever the reason Light in My Pathway has you covered.


"Your word is a lamp to guide my feet 
and a light for my path" Psalm 119:105 NLT

The Market is Open

The Market at 76067 opened Tuesday October 2nd at 10AM. This is a mini-mall with all sorts of different vendors. I have the privilege to be one of those many vendors.

The vendors were invited to a "pre-opening" on October 1st. The Market begins at the flower shop which is the green building in the middle of the block toward the right of the photo.






I found my card display.

















Part of The Market includes organic produce, fresh baked goods, along with fresh dairy products and grass fed beef.












See my card display?





























A fully stocked kitchen in which to make food samples.








































I LOVE this staircase! The opening you see to the right of the staircase goes into the Flower Shop.












View from the staircase. You can see my card display form this angle too. 😉













The Baby Shop




























Hello Yellow Boutique













































































This may be my favorite room. The Christmas Room.

All these pictures were taken at the pre-view.

I did learn that 2 of my cards sold on opening day! I was pretty happy about that.

Come check out The Market at 76067. You won't be disappointed and you'll find Light in My Pathway there 😊.

Customer Order Sweet 16

I recently received another customer order. I was at a Chamber Resource Team meeting made up of a group of business owners dedicated to providing mutual support in growing their business.

One of the members mentioned she had a daughter that was turning 16 and she wanted to get a special card. She said she liked shopping at Hallmark and the closest to us is in Fort Worth (45 miles away). I told her I could make her a birthday card and save her time and a trip. She took me up on it!

She asked me to create a card for her and for her mother to give to her daughter. The daughter's birthday is October 5th so I had plenty of time.

All she asked from me is to personalize it by putting her name on it and something about being her 16th birthday. I did ask what her daughter's favorite color was and she told me  pastel yellow.

This is the card I created for the Mom to give.  On the inside I put "Happy 16th birthday. May this be the best birthday yet."












This next card I created for the grandmother to give.

Upon delivery of these cards the mother was delighted with the cards! She told me "from now on you're making all my cards!" Wow, what a compliment! Then to top things off she referred me to a co-worker who bought a card from me that same day!

Business is definitely picking up!

Have a good one!
