Have you ever looked at a card and thought ‘I wish I could make one like that’? Crafting is for anyone and yes, you can do it too. Step-It-Up Sunday is all about enabling any level of crafter to create beautiful handmade cards they are proud of.
This series is focused on highlighting the different ways a card can be enhanced for various levels of crafters. I will ‘Step-Up’ a card 3 levels.
The first will be Basic. They are suitable for beginners and yet eye catching for the recipient.
The second will be Intermediate This will be the Basic card with a little more stamping, matting, colouring – a little bit of extra work.
The third level is for the Advanced crafter and will have more techniques involved, added dimensions and will take your project to the next level. This may suit the more experienced crafter but there is nothing stopping anyone from trying this out.
This will be a weekly post and I really hope you enjoy it and get some inspiration to try them out.
