Happy Card Making Month Ella Friends! I'm happy to be guest blogging over here at Ella. I'm hoping to meet many new online friends, so I hope you'll hop over to all my links below and learn more about me and what I do.
 

There is no denying that I love to craft, so much so that I was ending up with lots and lots of crafty things. Many were piling up with no other purpose than being "cute." My craft room was busting at the seams and I was in need of a solution. That's when I fell in love with card making!

Card making is perfect for me and my style of crafting. They are quick to make and give you that "I finished something" feeling. Handmade cards give your friends and loved ones that "I feel extra special" feeling. And making cards brought a sence of practicality to my crafting. I use them up quickly, they make great gifts and everyone needs a cards, so I can keep on making them and they never pile up!

I've been teaching card classes for 10 years and a few years ago I launched my own onlin card kit business. Today I wanted to share with you just how easy it is to make cards from kits! Kits are a great jumping off point, all the colors and embellishments are already coordinated and with my kits all the parts and pieces are already cut to size. All you have to do is put the parts together and add a little glitter or ink if you desire.

Here's an idea of what you can expect your kit to look like. There are two different kits pictured here.

Here are the cards I made from one kit.

And here are 2 of the 6 cards I made from the other kit.

It was simple and I can put together a kit in less time than it takes me to drive to Hallmark and pick out a card. Not to mention it's less expensive and I didn't have to beg my children to behave in the store. I hope this month you find ideas to get you inspired to make some cards. Hope you'll stop by and check out my shop and let me help you get inspired and make it easier than you ever imagined to make cards. I'd love to give away a kit today!
