Handmade Cards




One of my favourite hobbies is making cards which I have been doing for more than twenty years now. I put some classical music on the stereo (or country music on my ipod!), cover the table with stamps, card of all colours, markers, ribbon, buttons - you get the idea -and I let inspiration take over. I have recently taken photos of my cards and decided to share some of them here. I have not bought a card since I started making my own and was recently shocked at the price of cards here in Australia while checking the valentine cards for my son. The thing I like about making my own cards is that I can make them personal, and know that they will not get another card like mine!


I make the Thinking of You card using Stampin' Up card, stamps, markers and embellishments. The second card uses Stampin' Up materials plus a stamp I bought while travelling in America in 2004. It says: what lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us
