Handmade Graduation Cards & Ideas


Creative Card Making Tips:

  • Always keep all your scrap paper. You can use them to
    decorate your envelopes, punch holes in them or even use them
    to quill.
  • Keep a notebook by your side, in your purse, bag or on
    your night stand to jolt down creative card ideas, tips &
    techniques you might have discovered
  • I love to use black magic for vintage looks, but you can
    rip paper to give it the same look and it’s inexpensive.
  • Carry your pre printed stamp images where ever you go,
    along with some colored pencils. You can always color them
    while waiting for an appt or ride.
  • Make sure to use washable inkpads when doing arts with children.
    As it can get messy and stain their hands and clothes.
  • Buy a pack of baby wipes to clean your rubber stamps.
    No need to go out and spend money on expensive stamp cleaners.
  • When done using ink pads, always store them up side down
    to let the ink sink to the top of the pad.

  • Use poly bags to store your ready-made creative cards to protect them.
  • Never store ink and inkpads in direct sunlight, they will dry out.
  • When creating creative cards to mail. Use light weight paper so you won’t exceed a large postage price.
  • You can always cover up your mistakes by layering it with paper.
  • Get a storage bin, no need to buy one. Look around the house first before spending money. To keep all your scraps in.
  • If mass producing cards for an event or occasion. Pre cut all your die-cuts. It will save you time.
