The Gatefold Easel Card is another easy card and if you are new to this lovely hobby it is one that will have the recipients saying "How did you do it ...."
Trying out new ideas is what will keep your interest going and stop you getting into a rut.
And the whole point of the Website was to show "Newbies" how to get these looks for themselves in easy steps.
There is no point in having all this lovely card in your "Stash" if you are too scared to cut into it ... and so it was my plan to help folks build that confidence to get started.
Once again I apologise to any one who is a more experienced card maker ... it is not my intention to talk down to anyone.
If you already know about all this then that is fine but please remember that many people don't ... and to them it is all a learning curve and I only want to offer any help that I can.
So over the last few days I have brought to you some really easy ways to make your cards stand out from the ordinary and I hope, if you are new to cardmaking that you have enjoyed them.
There is a permanent link to the Website at the top of the Blog since it has had it's make over and I would be honored if you would pay me a visit.... either there or on FaceBook.
Hugs xx

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for adding this comment and it is much appreciated. It is never my intention to have seasoned card makers think that I am talking down to them, I would be really upset if people thought that.
DeleteMy intention, with both Card Making Magic and the Blog, is just to help people who are new to this hobby get the most out of it.
I know I struggled trying to find things out when I started, and so I try to add lots of information in one place for all to share. So thanks again for the lovely comment.... xxx
