What Type of Card Maker Are You?

Now that’s a different question!  What type of card maker are you?

Are you a BEGINNER?  Just starting out.  Maybe you don’t have a lot of supplies, are are ready to start and purchase just a few things.

Or, are you a CASUAL stamper?  You’ve been stamping for a little while…..have purchased a few things and are really starting to enjoy this hobby.  But you don’t own a lot of supplies (yet), especially not a die cutting machine.

Maybe you consider yourself an AVID stamper?  You have a lot and you seem to be stamping all the time!

Today’s post, especially the video, is a little longer than usual because no matter what kind of card maker are you, I am sharing a card for each type of stamper.  Each card progressively has a few more products used, but really, it’s not any harder–there is just more STUFF!

What Kind of Card Maker Are You?

In the video I will share all 3 cards with you and how with a few more supplies, you can “step up” your card.  So, no matter if you are just starting out, or if you have been stamping (and collected supplies) for a long time, you will learn some fun tips for making cards!

What Type of Card Make Are You? A Beginner Stamper?

When you are just starting out, I always recommend starting with a SIP:  stamps, ink & paper!  That is all this card uses, besides a little Linen Thread!  Make sure to check out the video to see how easy it is to stamp this card with just 4 ink pads, one set of stamps and a notecard!

Supplies Used:

These are all the products I used to make this card.  (make sure to watch the video to see the inside)

What Type of Card Maker Are You? A Casual Stamper?

You might consider yourself a CASUAL STAMPER.  Stamping is fun and becoming your hobby.  You are still a little overwhelmed and have not dove into a die cutting machine yet, but do like punches and layering cardstock.  This cards for you….

For this card we simply added some cardstock, a punch and some rhinestones!  Look how just adding a few things really steps up the card!

Card Recipe:

• Crumb Cake:  11″ x 4 1/4″
• Calypso Coral:  3 3/8″ 4 5/8″
• Whisper White:  3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″, 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ (see video as to how I cut it down)
• Shaded Spruce:  7/8″ Strip
• Mango Melody:  punched piece using Tailored Tag Punch

Where’s My Avid Stampers?

You know who you are….you have been stamping for awhile and have purchased a lot.  Sometimes you are even a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff you have.

One thing I have learned over the years, just because you have been stamping for a long time you don’t have to make COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT cards.  My cards are still simple, rather quick and easy….just use a little more “stuff” and takes a little more time.

This card is NOT HARD, and really didn’t take a lot of time….I just use a few more things!

I added the Springtime Impressions Thinlits (purchase with the stamp set and save 10%), as well as some embossing!  (easy peasy! If you don’t know how to heat emboss, leave me a comment and I can give you the link to a video)

Card Recipe:

• Crumb Cake:  8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
• Calypso Coral:  5 1/8″ 3 7/8″
• Whisper White:  5″ x 3 3/4″
• Basic Black:  5/8″ x 2 3/8″

So, what kind of card maker are you?

I would love to know what you consider yourself. Leave me a comment.  Along with that, if you have any questions, make sure to ask.

I hope you have enjoyed this 3-part post…and it’s help you realize that stamping IS SIMPLE and fun!  Don’t be overwhelmed and eventually you will be making cards as an AVID STAMPER!
