I became interested in making greeting cards several months ago . My niece in law is a Stampin Up demonstrator and I finally went to one of her wonderful seminars with another niece. We both got hooked on making cards. Since then I have joined Pinterest and created numerous boards with so very many techniques to use in making cards. Some are very easy , some are frustratingly fun. So I wanted to include on my blog some video links so others can see what I mean when I talk about.
First will be the technique I am really getting into. Then others I want to eventually try too.

If you are a card maker you know there are many many different folds to try when making a card. Besides the usual folded in half and decorated cards, which are in themselves quite lovely too. Here are some links to websites that either have videos showing different folds or have diagrams for those folds. Yes I have tried quite a few of them and plan on making more .
