Cards

When I first started Crafting in early 2008 I began by making cards, I tried dry embossing,heat embossing, decoupage and stamping to name but a few I was making 7 or 8 cards a day and needed to find an outlet for all this creativity.

I sold cards to friends and colleagues, did things for charity and pestered family into selling them at work,  so we did not drown under the mountain of cards and stash.
Then I discovered Scrap booking, and started doing things I wanted to do for me.


It combined my love of photography with the chance of recording family events.

Now I only make an odd card,  here are a few.




I liked stamping but was never happy with the colouring in, I tried watercolours , coloured pencils and water colour pencils but still I could not get the shading I wanted, then I read on UKScrapper about Sansador

( Gamasol)   and Primacolors and I started to get the effects I wanted  still no prefect though.



Here are a few more









This was made as a Christmas card for my DH  it is inspired by the very talented  work of Tracy Gough her Blog is http://camsmum-tg.blogspot.com/.



Happy Bathday






I have been making a few cards while I am recovering from a operation to remove my right kidney.





The envelopes are stamped with   flowers and leaves , rubber stamps fitted to wood dowels I bought at Shepton Mallet craft Show.






Monday 6th July

  1. Throughout this great pattern of things you actually receive an A for hard work. Where you misplaced everybody ended up being in all the facts. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more correct at this point. Having said that, let me say to you just what exactly did do the job. The article (parts of it) is definitely incredibly engaging and this is most likely the reason why I am making an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, despite the fact that I can notice a leaps in reason you make, I am definitely not convinced of just how you appear to unite your points that help to make the actual conclusion. For now I will subscribe to your issue but hope in the foreseeable future you connect your facts much better.

  11. My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  12. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

  13. Just about all of the things you state happens to be supprisingly appropriate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn't looked at this with this light before. This particular article really did switch the light on for me as far as this specific topic goes. But there is actually one particular point I am not really too comfy with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central idea of the issue, permit me see just what the rest of the subscribers have to say.Very well done.

  14. I do like the manner in which you have framed this problem and it does provide me some fodder for consideration. On the other hand, coming from just what I have observed, I basically wish when the actual responses pile on that individuals stay on point and not embark on a soap box involving some other news du jour. Yet, thank you for this fantastic piece and whilst I do not concur with this in totality, I respect the viewpoint.

  15. I do enjoy the way you have framed this specific situation plus it really does present me a lot of fodder for thought. On the other hand, from just what I have seen, I simply hope as the reviews pack on that men and women stay on point and not get started on a soap box regarding some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this outstanding point and although I do not concur with this in totality, I respect the standpoint.

  16. I love to write creative things such as poetry and short stories, but I don't know what I would be able to do with the creative writing degree. . . Besides an author or poet, what can I do with a creative writing degree?.

  20. This really is a very good subject to speak about. Sometimes I fav stuff like this on Redit. This article probably wont do effectively with that crowd. I will be positive to submit something else though.
