If you’re a crafty person or a wanna-be crafty person, you need to Follow Your (He)Art. Some people love to paint, others like to watercolor…or maybe just color with crayons or pencils. Or maybe you like to fold and glue things together. Maybe you just like to put ink to paper with a rubber stamp. Wouldn’t it be great if you could do all of these things?? YOU CAN! And I can show you how! Just click here: CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS and find class that you’d like to attend! There are links on that page to where you can sign up….or just leave a comment at the end of this post!
I hope you’ll join me and try out your crafting skills! Or if you think you don’t have any….It’s easy to learn how! You will be surprised how easy it is to make cards, home decor, boxes, gift bags, treat holders and more with no experience!
I used the appropriately called IT STARTS WITH ART stamp set and made this:
This is the IT STARTS WITH ART stamp set and the coordinating ARTS & CRAFTS DIES.
I “CASed” (Copy & Share) it from a card that I made at Stampin’ Up’s April OnStage Event. It’s the same design, I just changed up the papers and the stamped image.This card is more for someone who likes to craft with ribbons & buttons, while my card is more for someone ho likes to draw and color. The background of both cards is made by just taking a stamp and inking it with the same color as the cardstock and making a random pattern. It adds a little interest to your card without taking away from the focal image.
This card is super simple to make…this is what you’ll need:
