Do you know what I love about cards, my own handmade cards?
1. They're not like baked goods as in they never go off, so I can make a card for any season at any time of the year and it will still be good to use 1 month later, 6 months later or even a couple of years later.
2. I can create for whichever mood I happen to be in, if I'm feeling extra crafty and want to get inky I go for it. It of my mood is feeling less intense I'll create something simple which gives me instant gratification.
3. There's opportunities to create just for the sake of creating, no person in mind or occasion I make just to see what colours work together or to see what a stamp looks like. The lack of rules in this part of my life is very freeing from my other routines and have to do chores.
4. Creating can be done solo with music or movie OR I can do it with friends. It is one of the most satisfying hobbies I've ever done.
5. If I have way too many cards I can bless people with them as bundles for gifts or I sell them at crazy bargain basement prices of 15 cards for $30 (lucky dip, no choosies)
I'm so glad I was introduced to card making almost 20 years ago, it really is the most fun.
