Card-making-techniques, from rubberstamps to matting and layering, can produce some really spectacular results.
Here you will find information to help you work with some of these ideas.
I will cover as many as I can on this site, and explain to you how they can enhance an ordinary card to the status of "stunning"

Some are very simple to apply like
matting and layering
but will leave the recipient of your card wondering how you did it.
And you can look so pleased with yourself when you say
"Oh! it was nothing really!"
Some of the ones I would like to cover for you are....
Rubber stamps
Which can produce different effects from the same stamp, simply by changing the colours.
Embossing,
Give your cards a raised effect with the easy to do embossing.
The gold hearts on this card are made to look textured.
Parchment
Try some magical things with parchment.
Decoupage
This is a lovely technique to build height to your cards, and these days made even easier by die cut layers.
Some of these look tricky, but they aren't really.
And some new ones that we can learn together, as they come onto the market in the future.
It will be an exciting journey into the magic of card-making.
And of course for all these beautiful cards you are making you may need the finishing touch in the form of a lovely envelope or box for it.
If you have a something you would like to share with other crafters, there is an invitation for you to add your contributions in Techniques Part 2.
