Basic tools and materials in card making

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!

 

A card measurement is so important isn’t it???
