Nurture your Creativity
Making things by hand helps calm the nervous system. The intentional act of slowing down, and focusing your mind on a simple task, whether it's conscious breathing, playing an instrument, tending a garden, or doing something creative, brings you fully into the present. For example, you can make a handmade card in minutes, or assemble the elements over several hours or days. By immersing yourself in what you're doing right now, you open yourself to the magical flow of creative energy. Cardmaking and handcrafts bring fabulous opportunities to reuse and recycle all the bits and pieces we collect and accumulate. From fabric remnants, beads, buttons, ribbon and fibre, to broken china, scraps of paper, wire, old jewellery, shells, gemstones, and even deconstructed, store-bought items; everything has the potential to be re-imagined on your next creative project.

Where Craft
meets Couture
Mark Twain once said there is no such thing as a new idea. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope, that we keep turning, making new combinations indefinitely. In reality, these are the same old pieces of coloured glass that have been in use through the ages.
Use these card-making ideas to inspire your own. Give your kaleidoscope a turn, and let the cardmaking inspiration flow. A handmade card takes minutes to make, requires few resources and minimal cost, yet it will brighten the day of both the giver and the receiver.
