WORLD CARD MAKING DAY

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY - 5 OCTOBER 2019

World Card Making Day is celebrated all around the world on 5 October. The best way to celebrate Card Making Day is, of course to learn how to make your own cards! Find a class that is local to you or find a stamp club that you can join. Don't be intimidated by some of the cards on Pinterest or Facebook, remember everyone started somewhere. The only limit to your cards is your imagination, so let your creativity fly and send your friends and family a personalized handmade card today.

I wanted to create a card for World Card Making Day with the stamp set 'Natures Beauty' as this stamp set is one that Stampin' Up! are donating $4.50 of each purchase in NZ to Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. Crafting has been shown to decrease anxiety and depression so combining the two for this day is appropriate. It has also been shown to stimulate the release of dopamine in the brain - whatever makes you happy makes you stronger.

Diamond Flip Fold Card

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I found this fun fold card while searching Pinterest the other day, it is called a Diamond Flip Card. It took me a bit to work out the measurements in cms but once I did I was able to make a few of them in a row. For these cards I used the Art Floral Designer Series Paper as the paper is so beautiful and makes me feel like an artist when I use it. I also used the technique of using Stampin Write Markers to colour in the stamp and get a water colour effect. Check out the details below and I look forward to seeing your version of this card. **The card base: cut a piece of cardstock (I used So Saffron) at 10.5 on the short side. Fold piece in half and burnish with bone folder. **Score one end at 5.3cm. Now place the open ends on the trimmer and find the middle, make a pencil. With pencil and ruler measure from the middle to the score line on each side. Using trimmer or scissors cut along the pencil line on each side to form a triangle shape. **With...
