One of my true crafting loves is card-making. And yet, I'm terrible at sending cards. "How can that be?" I have often asked myself. I don't have an answer right now. It's more of a rhetorical question. I suspect one possible reason is that I never have a card handy because I don't have a stash of good everyday cards. You could argue that I should be able to dash into the craft room and make one at a moment's notice. Yes, you could argue that. And you wouldn't be wrong, but you wouldn't exactly be right either, again for reasons I am yet to understand. But I decided to start building a ready stash of everyday cards in an attempt to better myself at the art of card sending, which is different than card making. A few of my results are shown here.
These cards are all made using Stampin' Up! stamps, inks, and papers and some Memory Box stamps and papers too. And because I'm a glitter fanatic, I embellish almost every card with Stickles (by Ranger) and a Gelly Roll Stardust pen (by Sakura).
The next step is overcoming my inability to put cards in the mail and send them. I'm working on it.
