What do you use to make your cards?

Stamps, drawings by hand, paper mache? ;)

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I use rotring pens used by many illustrators since they produce precise bold lines, I then tend to use a photo editing software like Gimp or photoshop to add colour or leave it in black and white.

Gocco printing for the illustrations & also I have been sowing newspaper and felt on them of late (even though that is really time consuming, as handstitching on card is hard!)

Paper, paper and more paper , LOL! I love paper! I also use glitter, embellishments, flowers, etc. I do have some pens I've been starting to use more - American Crafts makes them, I think.

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I use paper (the heavier cardstock kind if I can get it in the print I like), stamps, embossing powder, brads, and punches.

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I'm also all about the card stock. I occasionally use embossing powder, brads, stamps. I LOVE Ranger Distressed Ink. When I do draw my own designs I use Corel Painters.

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I decided to start carrying distressed ink just to see how it goes. Hopefully it's as popular as the Stazon has been.

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I buy packs of erasers and carve them into stamps. FInding good inks relatively cheaply can be difficult though - does anyone have any suggestions of brands they use?

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I design my cards, invitations, etc. on AutoCAD (a computer aided design program) and print them on cardstock with my awesome laser printer. :) I'm an interior desiger, and AutoCAD is the program I use to do design drawings. Not a traditional graphic design program, but it works for me!

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I draw my cards using Bamboo Pen Tablet and then print it using water resistant ink on a thick paper. I am still new on this, so I haven't explore using stamps etc yet, but I will soon because it seems so fun!

Currently I am still learning how to draw on a tablet, it is pretty hard for me!

Maybe that's why my drawing is a lil bit childish :p

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I just use plain old paper! Sometimes buttons, floss, and glitter, but mostly old-fashioned stuff.

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I draw them on a piece of watercolour paper, colour them with watercolours, scan, Photoshop them (my scanner eats the colours a bit !) and print them :)

Re: What do you use to make your cards?

I draw my illustrations using the mouse, but I have the intros-Wacom tablet that I still haven't used...
I love to use good quality Neenah paper for printing all my cards and colorful envelopes.
