Creating your own personalized, handmade cards isn't all that tough...If you scrapbook, you can make cards...and if you make cards...you can scrapbook! The supplies are the same, and a lot of times, your die cuts - added with a simple saying stamp can make a quick and easy card! Or using your stamps to create one of a kind embellishments for cheap!
To start out, you will want to add a few extra supplies to your existing tool kit. And make sure you watch for coupons for your local craft stores for anything on this list you can get there!

- A basic stamp set or two. I like sayings and basic shapes such as hearts and flowers for me personally.
- Basic ink pad - black, brown or white
- Colored pencils, markers or chalks
- Card packs w/envelopes
- Embossing gun and embossing powder (optional)
- Corner punches both decorative and a corner rounder (optional)
The only other thing I would be adding is die cuts or cute stickers that you use for scrapbooking - and punches if you happen to have them. If you do already scrapbook, you have a huge set of supplies you can use to add to all of this! So, lets get started in creating your first card. This particular card was made with very little supplies, and is easy enough you can create it with scraps! I started with the card base - added a scrap piece of paper to the top of the card, and a simple sticker in the middle of the card that matched the colors of the card. Simple, yet elegant!
I hope you have enjoyed this very beginner card that you can recreate! See you next week with another beginner card!
