If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on doing card making share them here. I love to make my own cards for birthdays, holidays, & specials occassions. Do you? Here is a pic of one of the cards I made for a family member last year....

Thank you so much. I like this design as I cut the front in half then removed the right half. The inside of the card is under Santa only.

it does'nt matter what it looks like, it's the fact that it was made by hand, it means it's from the heart and that is miles better than any card you could buy.

I totally agree. It means someone took time to create it and to me that IS what counts! Thanks your response :-)

Yours is cute. I tried it but mine just looked like a five year old made them.

Normal cardstock, 3D stickers, and the little tiny christmas tree ornaments (just cut off the gold strings). It was very easy and quick to do. Thank you so much for your response. :-)

Yes there are alot of crafting sites that share their tips on all sorts of crafting projects. I love reading over them and sometimes I incorporate them with my ideas and create cards or whatever other things I come up with. You can very easily spend tons of money doing card making, as they have so many cute things to pick from to use for cards or scrapbooking. Thanks for sharing :-]

I think handmade cards are wonderful! I wish I had the ability/creativity and patience to make cards. I do a tiny amount of scrapbooking and I have a friend who makes cards (I buy them from her). Keep up your great work! You are creating family heirlooms with each card you make and send.
