Learn card Making

Do you already know the basics of Card Making? Are you looking to improve your skills? Perhaps learn a few new techniques or card folds?

Here, you’ll discover all that, plus more.

Card Making Classes

If you live in Australia, I teach card making by mail. I have two types of classes available.

Both classes contain product and card kits with pre-cut card stock, envelopes and instructions. The Monthly Card Club is a 3 – 4 month membership program, where the Class by Mail is a stand alone class and is offered once a month.

Both Classes are great if you are short on time, mojo or would just like to relax and enjoy the creative experience.

If you’re after inspirations for you card making, I’ve placed them into categories to help make life easier for you.

Card Making Techniques

Adding techniques into your cards is always a fun thing to do.

One of my absolute favourites is colouring – with Stampin’ Blends or Inks I’m not fussed! I find it so relaxing and an escape for a small while. I also love getting inky, you’ll find some great tutorials for those too. Fancy Folds might be up your alley too, especially if you want that little extra WOW factor.

I decided to something I’ve not thought of before. I decided to something I’ve not thought of before.  Tone on Tone Ink Smooshing.
I’ve done it plenty of times on White Card, but never with the same colour card as the ink I’m using. 
If you haven’t tried Ink Smooshing before, here’s how you do it.
A couple of ink drops on your glass mat. Spritz with a little water. Smoosh your card into the inky puddle, lifting it up and repositioning it. That’s it, super easy.
The last 2 photos are of my card wet and then dry. 
Tone on Tone Ink Smooshing results in a very soft looking texture.  Love it!
