The cards can be Uno, flash cards too, as long as they are ATC size... Pretend your making a journal for the Wee Folk!! Free Theme, make any way you want!!

Use standard ATC size playing cards.NEW Edit: I just made a video of one technique you can try on my Facebook page ...go to "Carmen Paillie" on Facebook to play a five minute video.

Use gesso, glue, papers, inks, paint cheesecloth, fruit bags, food labels, fabric, lace, buttons and stamps to decorate the pages front side only do not sticker slap create something that you want to receive for your partner

.....decorate on numbered side of each card with any theme. You can decorate both sides of each card but you are NOT required to do so.

You may Make tiny pockets and put tiny ephemera in. but Pockets are NOT Required..... You may draw images but not required, this is supposed to be fun. Low stress.

       Please put a metal ring through it when finished..

.within the.USA only..... If sending international leave out the metal ring in this package but please make holes and include one ribbon. You can make flat cards and include holes for a ribbon ...or do not tie it to make envelope thinner ......

HI, sent you a pm about not being able to view your video. I've taken the plunge and signed up anyway, so hopefully I won't do it injustice! (Fingers crossed, lol!) I've completed 5 pages thus far that I'm pretty happy with...now on to complete the rest!

Just try to have fun with making these. They are like making artist trading cards on playing card backgrounds instead. Hope that helps, Carmen
