Handmade Age Cards

I never really do cards for kids unless asked for a specific commission...however I have dipped my toe in the water and done a few for young ages.

These two are for 3 year old (obviously!) and I am doing some samples for personalised age cards which I will post later.

Forum group for Notts Crafters

I'm a regular visitor to Craft Forum UK and have decided to set up a new group for crafters in the Notts area. Please feel free to join us at

www.craftsforum.co.uk/group.php?groupid=51

and don't forget to tell your friends!

Hoping it will be another place for us all to find out about crafty events, fairs etc and make a few new friends.

Leaving card for an Owls fan!

My friend leaves her current job this week..she will be very emotional and so instead of something wordy and heartfelt - she already knows she'll be missed - I decided on a funny card!

She is a big Sheffield Wednesday fan so settled on this one. I don't generally make funny cards, I find them difficult because of my style of handmade card. Hope she likes it.

Packs of thank you cards

At my last craft fair I sold a few packs of notelets. Which got me to thinking, what other cards would people buy in bulk. After a scout around WHS I came up with the idea of thank you cards and birth announcements.

Here's my first attempt at packs of handmade cards...

Elisabeth Bell stamps

I love the stamps designed by Elisabeth Bell, just so cute! Well now she does digistamps which I have just started to experiment with. This is my first effort with a stamp called "A Tasty Read".

In the absence of any Promarkers, which are going on my wishlist, I have used some cheap pens bought from Lidl!! Think they worked OK.
