Easter is just around the corner, and it's time to show your friends and family some blooming love with making them home made cards. Who doesn't love a good old home made card!
These homemade cards are very simple and cheap to make. I used some rubber stamps, felt flowers and an oval scalloped puncher.
You can create so many different style cards for everyone special in your life just with a few different materials you might have already at your desk.
I don't know if you shop at Marshalls, TJ maxx or any of those stores, but one thing that i love from those stores are the stationary and crafts supplies aisle (oo and of course the clothe, but lets get back to the craft aisle) they carry sometimes crafts markers, ribbons, blank cards, scrap booking supplies etc. and they are really really cheap. I went to Marshalls the other day, and I found markers for my rubber stamps ($11.99 originally at Michaels) they cost me $4.99 same brand, same colors and same quality. Gotta love it! These stores get new supply shipments sometimes 2 or 3 times a week, so every time you go they have new products.
Again you can create a lot of different card styles with different materials you might already have. Try to combine more than one style or technique for each card, I guarantee that you are gonna have fun playing around while creating a beautiful card.
Now in days there are so many options in the market, from the cheapest to high quality tools, like the Cricut Expressions to the punchers, pre-made cut-outs to handmade designs. I recommend that if you are starting off use paper punchers they will add that perfect touch to your card. You can design some of the best cut out figures with the help of 2 or more punchers.
Paper homemade cards are so elegant and unique for the simple fact that you can decorate and style them as you want. You can add whatever message you want to it depending on who you are giving it to or you can just simply add a happy faced flower to brighten up someones day! The main point is that you handmade from your heart for that special friend.
Well this was a short blog for today, I am currently working on a bigger craft which I will blog about later, I hope you enjoy this mini project and please free feel to leave a question or comment, I'll be glad to read them and get back to you :)
See you soon with Easter Craft Part 2..... and remember to have fun while making your Craft With Little Cash!!
