Basic
tools and materials in card making
Every time I do my greeting card project, the
very thing I look for first is inkpad, I see to it that I always have my black
and chocolate chip inkpad; it comes handy when you needed it or use it for any
stamping card projects. Secondly,
I think of the theme for the day, what colour I feel like doing, sometimes
depends on your mood as well and the weather: -} I take out my favourite card
stock and my paper cutter to cut my card base. Thirdly, I look through my stamp
sets and choose a theme, sometimes I feel like doing a card for my Dad or Mom
or for my husband, you can used any stamps you like rubber or clear. Then, I
take out my scissors, I say, two because I used the crafting scissor and the
paper snip. Fourthly, adhesive- my favourite snail, I mean snail adhesive,
double-sided foam dots, and my two-way glue pen (I always add glitters, it
looks good on my card projects), and used glue dots to stick my favourite
embellishments. Lastly, a punch to
add my greetings, then your card project is done!
