As with most crafts, card making can be as simple or complicated as we choose to make it. Sometimes I think that newbies to the craft can be easily overwhelmed by what the see. When Justine Hovey posted the following video, however, I found myself getting a bit excited. Check it out:
Jackie Bolhuis over at Klompen Stampers loves SIP cards; Stamps, Ink, Paper. She loves to use designer series paper to make beautiful cards without breaking the bank on ‘stuff’. While her cards aren’t always a single layer, they are beautiful.
I enjoy watching crafters work their magic. There is a lot of magic in that process! There are stamps, inks, card stock, stencils, embellishments, etc., etc. Each one adds something interesting to a card, but the truth is you don’t need to have all of them, you don’t need the fancy machines, all you need is an idea and the courage to sit down and get your hands inky. 😀 Justine is right, keep those fingers clean or you will get prints on your cards.
At the end of the day most recipients won’t be judging your hand made cards, they will be enjoying them because you took the time to make and send them.
And isn’t that the point of the craft?
