I can't tell you how much I love using all my pins on Pinterest to inspire me to use the items in my stash to make cool cards. If you want to follow along, I started at the very end of my board titled card sketches, as well as the one titled card inspiration. I go back and forth in between the two in order. But I started with the first pins on each board. It is so much fun, so I hope you will check it out.
For this card, I used a stamp I have had for a while but still had not put any ink on it from Altanew. This cityscape stamp really is just so cool. This is such an easy card, I think you probably can use it as a jumping-off point to use some great things from your stash too.

Embossing folders are pretty good value for money. But the best thing about them is that they are so versatile. Today I want to show you another card technique that you can use with those embossing folders. Adding a bit of color after you run your cardstock through your die cut machine in the embossing folder helps you stretch that supply just a bit more. Just adding that bit of ink to your embossed image really does make a difference. I hope you will try this card making technique soon so you can make your own handmade card.

I have made a few z cards, but an upright Z fold? I don’t think so, but today that is going to all change. I think this card can be done by a beginner card maker easily. For me, I wanted to make sure it closes well, so I used a wooden button. I think next time, I will want to use something that is a bit flatter. With the button, I would need to send this in a padded envelope, or this would have to be a card that is hand-delivered.
Well, after watching this how to video, do you think you will try an upright Z fold? If you are a greeting card maker, I hope you will give it a try.

Though I would really love to own every tool in the cardmaking world, I do not. So sometimes, you must improvise. You use what you have to make what you want. In the case of this card making how to tutorial I am showing you how I constructed a lattice for this card. If you have a die that cuts a lattice this would be super simple, but I didn’t have one, so strips of paper layered between layers of cardstock worked just as well. This DIY worked out well I think. All it took to finish it off was a few flowers. To make it coordinate I colored the strips of paper with copic markers.
What cards have you made lately that you used what you have to make what you want?

Yes, this kind of fingerprinting is fun. Ever thought of using your fingerprints as part of a card design? I did and I am so happy with how this DIY card tutorial turned out. Make those fingerprints into little chickees to help celebrate someone’s birthday. I think this would be cute for a kid or grown-up alike. I keep thinking about what other greeting cards I could make using fingerprints. This is I think one of the best how-to tutorials for beginners. Think you might try it? If so please tag me #samanthadesigns. I would love to see what you decide to make using your fingerprints as the focal point.
Happy crafting!

Not every card making technique needs the fanciest of supplies. Today’s card I revisited a staple how-to, embossing resist. I also did this quickly using a kids watercolor set that I bought my son probably 7 years ago or so. It still has plenty of use left, so I thought I might as well use it. I love it since it had some bright colors in it that would match the washi tape I was going to use as the focal images. I took the washi tape, layered it on cardstock then used a die to cut out the images to make them look like postage stamps. I think this worked pretty well. 😉

Digital paper is a great way to really add different looks to your projects without spending a lot of money. I love digital paper, digital stamps, etc when creating. You don’t have to use the die cutting machines like Cricut, either. If you have Word, a printer, and some dies, then you have more than enough to get started using digital mediums you print on paper in your papercrafting. For today’s greeting card, I used a Pinterest Pin to inspire me. I broke out that music digital paper I just downloaded into Word the printed it out.
Then I made these cute cards using minimal supplies. I hope you will try this card making idea next time you get a chance to play with your stash.
