NEW BLOG SERIES! Cardmaking Basics
I'm starting a new series of posts for my blog which will summarize and put into practice things that I learned from the book Card to Canvas: Mixed-media techniques for paper crafts by Colleen Schaan. I want to do this for those people who are interested in taking up cardmaking and don't know where to start. This series will begin with the basics of stamping to creating backgrounds to adding texture and more!
Each post will include a downloadable PDF that will include steps to complete the technique, pictures, and sample cards using the technique. You can print these PDFs and create a binder full of cardmaking techniques that you can use again and again.
The following is the outline for this blog series:
