A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Rainy Day Card-making

It's raining so my plans to garden have been squashed.  But a good time to get some cards made!

Here's one for the Less is More "Celebrations" challenge, using their suggestion that we get some cards done for the December holidays.


I always need a few Hanukkah cards so made one of those.


There is a SCS tutorial for making the paper star here.  I used a lovely double-sided decorative paper I've had in my stash for ages.  I topped it with a silver glitter die cut Star of David and added it to a plain white card base with a heat embossed sentiment.

I might make a couple more to use up more dp!!






Supplies:
Stamps - SU sentiment
Ink - ColorBox silver
Paper - white cs, patterned paper, silver glitter cs
Size - A2
Accessories - silver embossing powder, SSS Star of David die
