I recently got into paper crafting(like 5 weeks ago). As with most of my hobbies, arts and crafts I tend to obsess over the new for a few weeks then move on to the next.
I got into this when my sister and cousin where talking about my sisters old cricut machine. I knew what it was but had never really looked into it. I was making a lot of party items for family parties at this point and thought, hum...better look into this product.
So I ended up with a Cricut machine an 16 sets of designer paper. Because, as all things to do with me I get obsessed with the buying process of a hobby lol.
I started using the machine to make cards and a wedding invitation for one of my friends. While trying to find embellishments for the invitation I ran across a heat embossing kit. So I took it home and looked up online what I could do with it. The kit came with some stamps and Perfect Medium.
Well, to make a long story short, I now have an embossing machine, well over 100 stamps, a set of watercolor brush markers and a new found LOVE for card making.
I am not using my Cricut as much, mostly to cut envelopes and card bases. I found the technique I am loving the most is watercoloring stamp images.

Hi and welcome from New Zealand! That is great you have found what really appeals about card making. I also love the watercolour look and there are many ways of getting that. Have fun and do ask if you have any questions.
