I posted over on the Sizzix UK blog today about some Journaling Cards I have been working on. Having just returned from a week at Disney World with my family (including two toddlers), there was not much time to craft. But luckily I had pre-cut a stack of cards that I was able to pull out at the airport and after the kids had gone to bed to get a little creativity time in. (I get antsy when I don’t have time for that!)
I used the Recipe Card Box and Recipe Card & Label to work on. These dies may be found in your local scrapbook store or on line- click on links below.
First, you will need to cut a stack of cards using the Recipe Card & Label die.
I cut mine from chipboard and white and black matboard (you can get a nice chalkboard effect using white pen on black board!).
Then I come up with a word or phrase- it can be anything. Mostly I do these cards when I am watching TV with my husband or like yesterday, while traveling. I look on them as practice- then I don’t feel pressure for them to be perfect. Let your mind and hands just enjoy the pleasure of writing and making shapes.
All you need to doodle on the cards is a pencil, eraser and permanent black pens of different thicknesses.
