Making Your First Cards

I have to tell you that it was hard for me to adjust to using just a pencil and ruler to make my card base, top layer, etc. It can be done though.  The first card is simple and just uses a few easy techniques. 

I chose the Birthday Melody stamp set to make these cards because it looks very nice in black and white, and has some nice sentiments as well.

I put together the basic card, and then added a few things for cards two and three.

Anyone Can Make These Simple Cards

Now that you have seen how these cards came together, I hope you will give card making a try. Your loved ones will love receiving a handmade card from you.

As you get more comfortable making cards, you will come up with your own designs, color preferences, etc. 

You may decide you want to learn some fancy folds, heat embossing, and die cutting. 

Stick around as I continue this series with information on the different types of adhesives available for card makers, and when to use them.
