Sunlit Sunday (#4): Ready for Card-Making


Recently, I thought I'd get some supplies to try a new hobby. Although I haven't made cards before, it seems like it might be a fun project!

Here are my findings (love those January sales): bright solids and a tablet of prints!



Take a look at the name on the package of printed paper: "One Sunny Day".
Really, isn't it just screaming for attention on Sunlit Sunday?
 Just as well, given the shortage of true sunlight!



Just looking at these supplies brings a smile and puts a little sunshine in my heart.



As if the paper isn't cheery enough, ohhh the ribbons! 
If you have any tips for a rookie card maker, please do share.

And now, it's your turn!

  1. Oops, can't eve spell my own blog name - auto fill always tries to beat me to it.
    Anyway, Karen, I've been going to Stamping Up classes twice a month to make cards and just love it. We're a small group, all grannies around the same age but our instructor is a young 30 something. We make her laugh a lot with our antics and senior moments. LOL
    You should see if there is an instructor in your area. I've bought many of my supplies from Michael's with the 50% off coupon - that's the biggest tip I can pass along.
    Have fun.

  7. Hi I am over from Cathy's blog and just love your Sunday party. Many times I just place a scripture quote on my Sunday post but what a wonderful idea to add the Sunlit Sunday. I plan to join next week. Blessings for a great week for you and family. I do several types of art and stitchery.

    Making cards is a lot of fun. If you google handmade cards and choose images, you'll see lots of inspiration.
