Day 1 Card-making

Today’s craft is card-making. It is one of my favourites. It is quite simple, quick and effective and gives a full flow of your creative juices as you can apply anything. I like to keep it pretty simple and without too much fuss to keep a clean appearance. Inspiration comes from things and colours around me.

For this project you will be needing:

Paper
Glue or double-sided tape
Scissors
Embellishments
Peel-offs stickers (sentiments)
Card paper (here bought as an aperture card)
Envelope (here included with the aperture card)
Coloured pens

A note on embellishments: these are the items that make the card stand-out. They can be almost anything; 3D stickers, ribbons, feathers, things you do yourself, buttons, dried flowers, small gems and pearls, and other things you might find around your home or work-place. Some are bought for a few cents while others are a bit expensive.


Tweezers come handy when applying the peel-off (Congratulations). This card can be given to someone for graduation, promotion or an achievment reached. You can add the date to make it more personalized and even a name. As you can see it took only about 20 minutes – maybe add 5 more for finishing.



Enjoy and take care :-)
