In my last post I mentioned that I had a new goal of making at
least one card a day; and, this week was the first time I actually give it a
try. I made a card on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. With fulfilling orders it
sometimes gets really hard to make a card each day because my business/buyers are
my first priority. When I did have time to make a card it was more like I
stayed up an hour later after work to make my card. Some nights I just couldn't stay up past midnight to make a card, though, hehe.
I recently purchased a few new stamp sets and dies—some from
Mama Elephant and a few others from Avery Elle. I have a feeling that this new series
‘One card a Day’ is going to empty my wallet very fast, lol, because I’m going
to need lots of new stamp sets. I mean I have a lot to begin with, but we card
makers/crafters always need an excuse to buy more stamps—am I right?
For these cards, I use a lot of fun techniques like
watercoloring, Copic coloring, and paper piecing. I also used Lawn Fawn paper,
stamps and dies too. I actually had a lot of fun mixing and matching products
from lots of different stamp manufactures. I usually make a card using only one
stamp company but mixing them all together made the creating process so much
fun!
Well, I hope you enjoyed this new series and I can’t wait to
try it again next week. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to make one every day. I
think I’m going to try and make a card tonight too, and if I do I’ll share them
next Friday for ‘One card a day, #2.
