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. You can make a little 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. The added appeal with card-making, is the fabulous opportunity it brings 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 cards; everything has the potential to be re-imagined on a card.

Card Ideas
Mark Twain once said "there is no such thing as a new idea; it is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning, making new combinations indefinitely. But they are the same old pieces of coloured glass that have been in use through the ages."
Use these handmade card ideas to inspire your own. Give your kaleidoscope a turn, and be guided by your imagination. A little card takes minutes to make, requires few resources and minimal cost, yet it can brighten the day of both the giver and the receiver. The expression of our creativity enriches all of us.
