Not just cards, y'all!

Contrary to popular belief, paper crafting is more than making greeting cards. That's just my preferred method of expression for the craft but other avenues include, but are not limited to, scrapbooking, quilling, 3D arts like boxes and goodie bags, or simple things like bookmarks. 

I made a bookmark today that took me about 5 minutes and it turned out really cute! 


So, if you're overwhelmed at the thought of bigger projects, like cards or a whole scrapbook, you can make super cute things out of paper that take just a few minutes of your time and leave you feeling like you've created something amazing! 

This bookmark was part of a group challenge on one of the Facebook pages I belong to. The challenge was to create something that wasn't a card and used an embossing folder. So the brown paper has a wood grain design in it and that effect is created with an embossing folder. It's super quick and gives a wonderful texture to your project. 

If you're interested in taking one of my classes, let me know and we'll set something up. I'll teach you some fun techniques that will have you feeling like an artist in no time at all!
