I'm so immersed in my card making, I haven't had time to write a second post till now! But I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the generous help I've been receiving from so many sources. I commenced this year as a novice at card making, but through support now feel part of this lovely 'community'. Last year I attended a class at U3A - one afternoon a week for six weeks, which was an enjoyable introduction to the world of cards. This year, I have visited my dear friend Val, who shares her home with a few friends one afternoon a week, and she has taught me so much - I am so indebted to her! I have thrived under her guidance, and love our afternoons together. Then there is the internet - for the first time I have turned to the internet to learn a skill: from Gina K (who seems like an old friend now with her no-nonsense style and approach), to Splitcoastampers, who seem so young and professional I wonder what I'm doing visiting them, but they have such a lot to teach me too, to more local sites, such as Stamp Embellish Create (through Annabelle Stamps) who are equally professional and talented. So there I am - caught up, or should I say addicted? - but enjoying myself immensely! My dear husband is so supportive, as always!
Wonderful News
The challenge at LIM this week is to use washi - how lucky for me that yesterday I tried CASEing a card I saw on Etsy which used a single wooden button on a small notecard. I didn't use a wooden button, but a die I've had for ages, with WASHI on cardstock - - woo hoo! So I'm ready early today - Sunday morning here in Australia, with temps in the 30s! Cardstock cut 18cm x 9cm for a top fold 9 x 9cm (3.5" x 3.5") Stamp is a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft Issue 165 - love the fonts Die is by Simon Says Stamp - Partial Cut Flowers Button die is a set of 3 by Joy! Crafts Washi - unknown origin but printed cloth tape about 1.5 inches wide Below are a couple more cards I made using washi.
