I joined several card making kit clubs to learn new skills to make cards. I love learning new things. Even when those things make me feel like an idiot.

Last weekend, I was showing my mother some of my dragon horde, er, the kits I receive and lamented that one just sent 12 x 12 sheets of paper and other embellishments but no actual cards.

Now, this makes sense as you can use the papers to make scrapbooks, but I wanted a card kit, not a page kit. Still the kit came with instructions on how to make a card and a page, and as I explained it becomes easier to see possibilities once you have a foundation from options.

After she’d left, I poked around on the internet and found a lady who was showing card hacks with the kit that I had bought. Oddly enough, she was making cards by cutting up the 12 x 12 inch paper (card stock as it is called).

doh! Well, I didn’t make some cards and I learned a lot, including I can make my own cards. Go figure.

Until next time, stay healthy.
