Craft Forum

for me it’s what i fancy making, i like making card blanks and then finishing them off with the sentiment thats needed.

just after reading Donnas post, I am into Beatrix Potter now and loving the books and want to make many acrds using my new stamps, these you can see on my thread titled You’ll see Y I’m excited in tthe Shop till You drop section! I do like my stamping too but, not used so much as decoupage has taken over my crafting needs right now! textures of ribbons too i love right now xx

I’m loving absolutely everything…shame I don’t have a bottomless stash of cash to buy it all. Never mind, going to get some crafting stuff for my birthday.
Really into stamping just now though.

I am especially loving making the mini books loaded with embellishments, tags, flowers, bling….....need I go on and on…....?
I am especially fond of the method found on
The Paper Trail.  She is based out of Seattle, Wa.
I save old cereal boxes for my covers and her method is so easy to use smaller pieces and make the spines.  Covering them is a snap too.  I really find that I am leaning toward the Vintage Look and colors….

These sound nice uffdahtaco, welcome to the forum

Shaped cards and 3D cards at the moment. Also Webster’s Pages, so yummy. Vellum flowers and borders in pastel shades.

Styles of cards do change quite a bit overtime…..Not so long ago I was making the exploding boxes (card type) and then the waterfall cards…...I think the raised cards using the sticky pads in layers has diminished because of the postage costs on thickness…
The flatter the card inside an envelope the better…....so this is where backing papers come into use of course and then oversticking with other papers in shapes or pictures etc.  I tend to cut through the card so the picture shows through from inside the card….this creates no extra thickness to the card for posting….Just an idea….

I’m not sure what you mean…sorry.
I only make 3D cards for family and relatives, but I don’t post them. Instead, I make them and take them through on Boxing Day to my brother’s where we have a birthday party for him each year and hand them out for everyone to take home with them or put aside. I also make other cards for those that won’t be there and take them through about a week before Xmas to my mum’s. She puts them into a big bowl by the door and everyone who visits knows to pick up their cards. Saves a lot of postage…
