Creativ Quirks - Kim Wright

I've been having so much fun making artist cards. They are so easy to make and you can use supplies that you likely already have on hand. I have put this list together for anyone wanting to make their own cards, but need a little guidance in what sup...

Collage/Junk Journal Style

I absolutely love making collage style cards. You can use food boxes as bases, and use scrap paper and junk mail you have laying around your house. Plus there are so many great supplies you can get if you have a budget available for making your cards...

There isn't much to say about these, they are just blank white cards ready to be collaged (or drawn) on.

Blank Cards - 2.5" x 3.5"

These cards come in multiple colors so they perfect for when you don't want to completely collage over the whole card, you still want some of the background color to show through.

Black Colored Cards

These packs come with 25, 50, or 100 various bits and pieces for creating your own cards. The packs include paper, stickers, book pages, and more.

Ephemera Kit. Mixed Media Embellishments for Scrapbooking, Collages, Planners, and Paper Crafting.

Any type of gluestick will work, this is one of my favorites. I go through these sticks so fast because I feel like I use them for every project!

Scotch Permanent Glue Stick

Modge podge is great for collaging. You coat the surface, lay on your paper pieces and put more modge podge on top.

Mod Podge Matte Sealer, Glue & Finish

These foam brushes are great for spreading modge podge for collages. They are disposable, but if you give them a good wash you can get multiple uses out of them before having to toss them.

Foam Paint Brushes

Playing Card Bits

These pieces would also fall under the collage section, but I felt they deserve a section of their own if you want to make your own deck of playing card style artist cards.

These playing card symbols sticker sheets are so cute and are a fun way to create your own playing card styles.

Playing card symbols PET stickers

If you are going for the traditional playing card look, then you are going to need numbers.

Number PET stickers

Only the J, Q, K, and A are needed for playing cards of course, but these letters are a great addition to any crafters stash.

Letter PET stickers *can be stored in A6 binder

You'll also need some red letters to go with the hearts and diamonds, but there are ton's of other colors to use for other collage cards as well.

Painting and Drawing Style

I haven't really made many cards by painting and drawing on them, but here are some supplies that I intend to use when I do more of this style. If you are an artist, then you can use whatever mediums you already have on hand, but if not, these can ge...

These cards are textured especially for using watercolor on.

Watercolor Paper Blank Cards – 300gsm Cold Press

I love how smooth these pens write, plus they dry really fast and don't smear (unless you are writing on a glossy surface, then they need a little time to dry). The 8 colors in this pack would be great for drawing on your cards.

Sharpie S-Gel Pens in 8 Colors

I don't paint much, but these are a nice versatile beginner paint that can be used for so many projects, not just artist cards.

Apple Barrel Matte Acrylic Craft Paint Set

Completed Cards

Here are some cards you from my Etsy shop and my YouTube channel that you can use to get inspiration from to create your own cards. Or if you aren't the creative type, you can purchase these for yourself.

I plan to post more videos of completed cards I've done, plus “craft with me” type videos where I show how I make my cards.

Artist Cards on my YouTube Channel

I love mystery bags/boxes, so this is the myster version for artist card packs. Packs can be completely random, or for those that want a little more control, a color or holiday can be chosen.
