My Start in Cardmaking

Howdy Y'all!

Today I am participating in

We are sharing stories of what Inkspired us to start cardmaking. For me, it was my first card. It was my wedding invitation.

The challenge was to CASE our first card. For me this was a bit tough since my first card was made 19 years ago. And I know when I was creating this bundle of cards we
couldn't find this exact paper. You see my MIL only had a finite amount of that specific patterned cardstock. So we wound up using 2 more cardstocks that were the same shade as the swirly cranberry cardstock. Also this was way back when you had to go to the scrapbook store to borrow time on their die cut machine. Now, I could have done that since my in-laws owned the scrapbook store the supplies came from. And I know my MIL still has that machine and those die cuts. But we are currently social distancing. As for the printing which was on this first card. That was done at a print shop. They printed the invitation on vellum. And then our picture and names were printed on some white cardstock.

So instead I chose to take inspiration from my first card.
