Some times the simplest cards have got the most wow factor. I like to think that this is one of those cards. If you are thinking how that card is going to fit an envelope, well let me tell you, you use one of 8 x 8" -from Craftwork Cards.I know this card is not for everyone, this one is over three edges not just the one!

Simple cardmaking is what I find easier to do, but simple doesn't mean necesarly easy, although there may be people who think that. The key of cardmaking for me as a crafter is design rather than technique because I always think that is easier to learn technique than to learn design, as to learn a technique is to learn a process, whether design it is either based on an instinct or on pure theory. Anyway, either way, crafting is a hobby, so whatever you prefer is fine by me as long as you enjoy it!This simple card I made for a demo. I had some paper left overs on my Christmas papers folder and decided to use it to highlight the beauty of this set of alphabet dies. I first covered with other bits of paper I had the mount board -yes, thick Sizzix dies will cut mount board even if it is covered with thick patterned paper- and then I put it through the Big Shot. Because of the thickness of the mount board it was a bit harder to roll it through but I was not difficult.I used one of the Martha Stewart edge punches to add some interest to the card as well as some silver pearls to highlight the pattern of the paper. By the way, the papers are from Basic Grey, although not a hundred per cent sure from which collection as they were bits of paper, I think it is Figgy Pudding.

 Some times the bare batting order have got the most wow factor. I wish to think that this is one of those cards. If you are thinking how that batting order is going to fit an envelope, well permit me tell you, you use one of 8 x 8 " -from Craftwork Cards. I sleep together this card is not for everyone, this one is over three edges not precisely the one!

The key of cardmaking for me as a crafter is design rather than technique because I always think that is easier to learn technique than to learn design, as to learn a proficiency is to memorize a process, whether invention it is either based on an instinct or on pure theory. Anyway, either direction, crafting is a hobby, so whatever you prefer is fine by me equally long as you enjoy it!This simple card I made for a demo. I had some paper left overs on my Christmas papers folder and decided to practice it to highlight the smasher of this set of alphabet dies. I first covered with other morsel of paper I had the mount board -yes, thick Sizzix die will cut mount board even if it is covered with thick patterned paper- and then I arrange it through the Big Shot. Because of the thickness of the mount board it was a act harder to roll it through but I was not unmanageable. I used one of the Martha Stewart edge punches to add some sake to the card equally well as some silver pearls to highlight the convention of the paper.
