Card making...

15 November 2008

to be honest... I'm not much of a card maker..... but I LOVE receiving a handmade card.... and with that in mind ....Ive been making an attempt to create them more often.

Now my cards are not fancy.....more of a collection of scraps... made pretty with a flower... a journal spot and a little rub-on sentiment.... or something similar.

Kaisercraft have the most wonderful rub-on collection....their rub-ons are great quality...and I particularly love that they have sentiment rub-ons...perfect for cardmaking.....I have particularly loved these.

I also love to add a journal spot....somewhere for the sentiment to go.... and these would be my favourites...

Yvettes journal spots...

or

Elle's Studio



Recognise this layout? .....it was a step by step layout in a recent copy of creating keepsakes magazine. It was fun to just follow the steps....and watch the layout evolve... more Kaisercraft on this one....the papers and a journal spot rub-on.

  2. What do you mean that you're not much of a card maker?! I love them! So super-cute and so you! That's something I need to make some time for... I haven't even thought about xmas cards yet!

    Gorgeous layout Mardi! I still can't believe how amazing Alex looks in that photo so soon after the birth.

    Hope you've had a wonderful weekend!
