Notas del editor
- Work here in school but in spare time do lot of crafts, one is card making Have been making as long as I can remember, still have some made when at primary Have had cards published in some craft magazines
- Some of my work Like to come up with ideas different from what’s in shops
- Xmas cards based on where I’ve been on holiday - Japan
- Basics, but there’s a lot more available. I buy online and from craft shops Like to buy pre-made blank cards, as it gives a professional finish
- Better results come with time and experience Getting to know your materials
- The design we will do today is based on this idea of simplicity
- Different textures possible
- We will do this today – we will all work from a basic design but everyone’s card will be different
- Come up with your own original ideas
- These are some of the things I have done Getting postcards and xmas cards professionally printed Commissions – this is when someone says, “Could you make a special card for me to give to someone, they like Scotty dogs” or something like that I’ve sold stuff online on a site called Etsy, which is a bit like Ebay but for crafts Had crafts published in quite a few magazines, and even on the front cover:
- Very rough sketch is all I do
- Neaten up the sketch, make it bolder with black pen
- I lay the template on top and cut out both together. But you can cut template first and draw round it.
- I rub an ink pad along the edges. It gives a slight shadow and makes them stand out from the background
- I use a glue pen – it is good for fine details
- This is design we will do. Template in pack. Cut out and draw round it on back of coloured paper. Girly paper? – remember card is not for you, it could be for your girlfriend or mum. Glue snow to card and arrange trees. Groups of 3 look good. Any paper left – think of your own ideas.
