SUCH A CARD-MAKER!

When I lose my SewJo I turn to paper!

Card making is kinda like making a quilt..

Only tinder pieces and messier!

I usually start w Fun Fold card tutorials.

I follow many Cardmakers so there’s lots of inspiration.

I make lots of bases and use up designer paper  

A pile of greetings! 

CHRISTMAS CARDS IN JULY

It’s never too early for making

Christmas CARDS!

And who doesn’t enjoy Christmas in July inspiration! 

I recently bought a new to me set of stamps

‘Eden’s Garden’

Nit really Christmas these

But just using reds and greens…

Voila!

This technique is so easy and fun!

It’s like making your own designer paper!

 Frost your stamp from largest stamp to the smallest 

In colors of your choice

Large Flower-real res

Leaf 1 - Garden Green

Leaf 2 - Old Moss Freen

Twiggy Leaf - Burgandy 

Tiny leaf or dots - Gold or Burgundy 

And you stamp with a  + or X going in abstract angles 

(Like below)

8 1/2 x 11 card stick sheet

Then cut into (4)4 1/4” x 5 1/2” sections6

Pull sime cRd stock like red…for a bold POP of color.

Stapled sections can go into cards 

Vertical or horizontal 

Add sentiments

Outside and inside! 

Don’t foget to stamp the envelopes 

A fast and easy 4 cards at a time!

You can make them all ine occasion 

Or mix up the sentiments!

 

JUST A CARD..or few

I like to recycle the front of a pretty card

that I may receive from someone,

to make a new card.

Like this beautiful tree and bird.

I can always use a Thank You card.

I made this pretty sympathy card with scraps and a tiny dragonfly!

I had lots of back and white scraps

when a bit of mustard and a swarm of bees happened.

I like to stamp my own designer paper. 

These sunflowers were too fun!

How about some dragonflies to brighten your day?

Hey, I found some bee papers.

I also picked some flowers for these pretty vases,

Making cards is my second love.

Quilting is my first.

Paper On!
