Collage Cards Progress

Thus far, I’ve gathered all my materials and started making a few cards.

Material Collection

Many of my materials are things I already own, but I wanted to go to Art Parts to supplement. I was able to purchase some additional scrap paper, doilies, books, magazines, tags, paint swatches, cards, construction paper, and more for under $15. I noticed that I can categorize my materials into 2 groups: 1) materials that are already associated with card making and collaging, and 2) materials whose original functions are not crafting.

Category 1 materials are as follows:

• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Scrapbook paper
• Cardstock
• Vellum
• Construction paper
• Stickers

Category 2 materials are as follows:

• Magazines
• Postcards
• Doilies
• Playing cards
• Paper bags
• Books
• Paint swatches
• Gift tags

Beginning Making the Cards

So far I have made three cards, pictured below. They each have different themes, but I’m predicting as I make more, the cohesion in the aesthetic will come together. I’d like there to be a lot of variety in the cards, but when viewed as a collection, the vision is clear.
