BEST Tips and Tricks for Quick Card Making!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Is there something else you would add to your Quick Card Kit?

[@debityger4458]

This is just what I needed to get my mo-jo working and to be prepared for those surprise moments I needed a card. Thanks do much

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Wonderful! I’m so glad I’m able to help. 😊

[@angrosvenor2967]

What a great idea (the kit!). It seems like a good way to break a creative block, by minimising one's choices rather than having the whole craft room to choose from. I would add layers of patterned paper and a few rolls of washi, since I use those a lot.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I’m glad you like it! ❤️

Maybe cut some sprigs from gold metallic paper or vellum to tuck behind the sentiment or ephemera.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Yes! I agree. 💕

[@susanjohnson318]

Oooo, vellum die cuts! I need to do this!

I have been trying to do backgrounds ready to go: gel plate, alcohol ink, stamps, cover plates, stencils and I like your idea of paper strips and washi tape. Especially when I am feeling uninspired, I can make backgrounds and rack them up. I don't have such a wonderful system for my embossing folders as you do, but whenever I get a new one, I run it on thin (cheap) cardstock and keep them with the folders. When I'm wondering about using a folder, I pull out the stack of examples and look at them with my card.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Great ideas! Thank you for sharing ! 😊

[@dcn9550]

I maintain computer spread sheets of my card lists: birthdays (including birth year), anniversaries (including wedding date), valentines and Christmas. I don't send Easter, St Pats, Halloween or Thanksgiving cards. It prevents overlooking someone and it is also easy to edit the lists if, for example, someone passes away or you wish to add someone.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@Dltp259]

Congratulations! I let everyone I know who crafts about your site, you’re the best!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Wow, thank you! ❤️

[@Mari-cre8s]

Super ideas!! Love the idea of laminating your trackers too. Room on the dudes can help with a tiny note as to ‘style’/details of card sent as well…great tool,TY!!🧑🏼‍🎨😀

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! 🩷

[@ButtercupAndFernHomestead]

Wendy, where do you get your ephemera? That little yellow case is perfect. Do you buy them, fussy cut them, print then cut with Cricut, or something else I'm missing?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Most ephemera is Tim Holtz or American Crafts (Joann’s/ Tuesday Morning before they closed). The yellow case is a photo holder that’s 4x6.

[@susanjohnson318]

@@villagecardandcrafts I miss Tuesday Morning. I have huge amounts of 12x12 paper pads & packs that were so cheap (i make my own envelopes) and dies and washi tapes. Also, chocolate shot glasses, which are great with Bailey's. :D

[@rhodamabbott8101]

Some great ideas, thank you!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

You are so welcome! 😀

New subscriber - great idea to have everything together and ready 🙌

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Welcome aboard and thank you! 🩷

[@lightmom14]

I made a dates to remember "book" many years ago. It is functional, but noy any where as decorative as yours. I just used a plain font, and none of the pretty things on the top or sides. I also don't have the 'made' ' sent' columns either. That is a good idea tho. One thing I do have is what the occasion is. Birthday or Anniversary. My mind often forgets, especially is both days are close to each other.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

That's a great idea! 😊

[@stephanietm9960]

Great idea as usual! Thank you!!!

[@villagecardandcrafts]
