I don’t know how I missed this thread for so long. Ha. I’m a 97% paper only card maker. I will occasionally stamp a sentiment, add enamel dots or some other low profile element. I mail all of my cards, so thickness/stiffness, lumps and bumps are a big issue with the post office. With that said, my cards do look very plain and simple. I’m in a card swap group here and it’s very noticeable how simple mine are compared to the other participants. It’s one of the reasons I’m stepping back from the exchange. It’s been great fun, but I don’t think I’ve grown enough as a card maker, so I think I’ll just make cards for shut-ins in the future. Please don't stop exchanging with the peas. You are making the cards you enjoy making. They are making the types of cards they enjoy making. Neither is the "right" or "wrong" way to make cards. It isn't a contest. As one of the participants, I LOVE getting all types of cards - each and every one brings a smile to my face - it's all HAPPY mail!!

I have "spoken" with grammadee and committed to a CARDtober challenge day themed "Playing with Pretty Paper." Already made my first project to get ahead a bit since I've had some extra time on my hands this summer.
I hope some mainly paper card makers who have posted here will join the fun!

New here to the stamping/cardmaking space. I only make cards using paper. I love my silhouette and use it to cut all kinds of stuff and I use it to write my sentiments with too.
