As promised I am doing a post on the greeting cards that I have made recently.
I have finally got a chance to sit down whilst away to make some things, and here are some of them. I will do another post with the Xmas ones I have done, but for now, I will show you 8 of the generic / lovers ones I have created.
Firstly, I probably have been able to make about 3 each day. They are made of sturdy card and some have quite fancy decoration on them. Some of them are also 3D and some have little shiny stars or hearts on them. All of them however are different, and all of them are made by myself. I was incredibly lucky to have been given a lot of the materials to make them, and I’m actually quite proud of them for a first attempt, before I get really serious of making them. Eventually I would like to be selling them, because I know there is always a huge market out there for hand made cards and I probably will end up pricing them at £2.50 / £3 per card. If I do end up selling them I will probably have a link on the blog to find them easily.
So do you make cards? Home made items or any other things like that? Do you showcase them on your blog or have a special selling place for them?
Give me a message, tell me what you think about crafting.

I endeavor to do a “Crafted Christmas” every year, and try to make our Christmas gifts to everyone. I usually falter when it comes to the kids in the family, since no self-respecting 5 year old wants a knitting scarf for Christmas. Last year I knitted Christmas Stockings, individualized with everyone’s name, and then filled them with little goodies. (Like orange tic-tacs labeled as “snowman noses.”) I comes out to about the same prices for family, but definitelly cheaper when I do little projects (like bookmarks and packets of hot chocolate fixings) for friends. Also, I feel like it’s a little more in line for the season. Outside of Christmas, I don’t craft as much as I wish I did. I tried my hand at making cars, but mine never turned out as awesome as yours!

Thank you very much for the wonderful comment. I really want to try and do a crafting Christmas (I gave my family each a scarf I made last year). I’ve already made a load of Christmas cards, so I’m already starting to get there

One of my friend’s mothers used to make greeting cards at a senior center. I sent her the fronts of a lot of cards and the people would cut and paste to their hearts content. On several occasions she would send me back the finished product, and I loved it! I think this can be fun for you, and possibly successful, too1
