Welcome to AS Card Design

In January 2023, I came across a card making video on YouTube that was showing the technique of heat embossing. Like many of us who are new to crafting, this technique caught my attention well enough that I said to myself, “I want to do that!"

So began my journey of watching LOTS of YouTube card crafting videos and learning not only the tools, but also the techniques of the trade.  I will say it was very easy for me to watch crafters and believe that I just had to have ALL the supplies they were using. In the beginning, I did make many purchases to get me started (a stamping platform, inks, stamps, paper, envelopes, paper cutter, adhesives, and on and on).  Quickly, I had stacks of designer paper and cardstock! I have learned that this is somewhat of a “thing” in this industry.  We crafters see the beautiful papers and like a bee to honey, we are stuck on making the purchase!

Several months into my new world of card crafting, I had ample supplies. I decided to focus on using what I have and that it is okay not to buy everything I see my favorite crafty YouTubers using. Often, I can find something in my stash that is similar to what they are using. Additionally, I can find in my stash something totally different that will also work! There is great joy in learning a technique or seeing a completed card on YouTube and recreating it with my own personal twist. Are they all successful? No. But most are, and I view the unsuccessful attempts as great learning experiences. 

Although my journey to card crafting is relatively new, I absolutely love creating cards! It brings me joy to create an entirely hand-crafted card to share with others in hopes that it too brings them joy.

Every card I make is touched by me from beginning to end. I use high quality stamps, inks, and cardstock on each card, and, of course, each card comes with a high-quality envelope.

I can also create custom logo corporate thank you cards (minimum 25 per box). What a nice touch it is for a customer to be thanked for their business!
