Taking a break from the calligraphied and florally inspired handmade cards to bring you this DIY sequined and stamped card that I made for my sister-in-law's birthday. While calligraphied cards are elegant and beautiful, they to take a bit of time and preparation. Chances are you'll mess up a few times and have to start over (I recommend practicing on separate paper first to warm up- I've wasted way too many cards), you need to prepare the ink, the nib and pen, find a card where the ink won't feather or bleed through, and the list goes on. This DIY sequined and stamped card is less messy, quicker, doesn't require practice (or talent, unless you count gluing and stamping as talents), and probably slightly cheaper.

DIY sequined card

With the free time I had before residency began, I really wanted to put a lot of time into my hobby of card-making and practice my calligraphy. This meant finding any and every excuse to make a card (many more posts on that to come soon) instead of getting store-bought ones. Although there is no lack of creative and cute cards out there (ahem Paper Source), I love making cards when I have time. Making cards for my two dads this Father's Day was no exception this handmade card bender, and I used my favorite combination: watercolors & calligraphy.


I will admit the pun was a stretch.
