Curiosity Collection Cards

Hi to all,


I am happy to report I have final been able to get my video tutorial up and working. Don't forget to check out the techniques and tutorial page to view it and I would LOVE to hear from you in the comment section.



Also this morning I thought I would share a card collection I have made with the beautiful Kaisercraft Curiosity Collection' papers. I loved this set of papers the first time I saw them, In fact I think I bought them twice!!

I had a card making night last night and whipped up a few more cards for my box. I tend to work this way now, I take the time to make a few cards at a time. I don't necessarily create a certain card but keep them generic or don't put a sentiment on them. So if you suddenly hear someone has fallen ill, or has some good news to share and you want to send a card (but don't have time to get out all you gear to make one) you have plenty hand made cards ready choose from.

My friends and family all know I make my own cards and I don't have the option of buying a card (unless I want to offend someone!) so by being one step ahead it takes away any stress.
It is also a great way to use up scraps and leftovers. As I work on my scrapbook pages and have bits left I sort them into a set of drawers I have that are colour coded. That way I can use bits to add to my cards rather than cut up whole new sheets.

 

 

These cards were all made with simple layering. By that I mean I selected all my elements and just placed them down one on top of the other in a pleasing arrangement. I didn't use much foam tape just a little under the Ádore, Cherish, Hope sentiment and the bird plaque.

 



 

I wanted to keep the designs really simple so these beautiful papers could be the hero's on the card. They colours are just so beautiful they really sing. I didn't want too much on the card to distract from that.

As you can see I left the bird plaque blank, that way depending on the occasion I end up presenting it for I can just add an appropriate sentiment and its done.

 

I hope you enjoyed seeing them and they inspire you to do some card making of your own.

 

If you are in Adelaide and want find some of these beautiful Kaisercraft papers and plenty of other beautiful embellishment's to get you started, you can't go past Paper Flourish.
