I've gradually been using up my stash of card making materials . I just don't enjoy it anymore and life's too short!
Last week I got the few remaining sheets of Christmas 3D Decoupage sheets and card blanks out onto the table to turn into cards for this year....I've got enough that I bought from charity shops in the January sales in the drawer already, but the cards made will mean I don't need to buy many in 2025 sales.
16 Christmas cards made, pity 3D never shows up in photos.
There are some birthday decoupage sheets that needed using too. That's a job for today after I've walked up the road for tree photos (weather permitting) and made some sort of cakes for the weekend.

I'm making up a load of cards to donate to the hospice shop. I don't send many so might as well give them where they can help raise funds.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for the left over Christmas cards I put away tidily last year. Of course, I cannot find them but worry not, come January they will be sure to turn up!
ReplyDeleteI found some decoupage sheets I bought when the children were little - I can even remember buying them in the antiques place at Dedham. Ah well, I can use them for Rosie now perhaps!
I've stopped using my card stock, I gave loads to our local junior school, I have kept some as Molly my granddaughter is into craft.
ReplyDeleteI used to do paper crafting many years ago and I've still got a fair amount of stuff from then so I'm thinking of making a scrapbook of Jack's first year. It's a long time since I made a card though, I got back into knitting after many years and learnt to crochet too and that just took over. I always enjoy receiving hand made cards, they seem more personal.
ReplyDeleteWhat you've done looks lovely, yes I gave up card making when I broke my arm and gave all my stuff away.

ReplyDeleteI love doing this kind of decoupage-I got some Christmas ones half price and we will use them at my craft group over the next three sessions. Catriona
ReplyDeleteYou lasted longer than me with making cards. I sold all all my stash of card making equipment a few years ago, the relief was immense. Apart from anything else, a lot of the thicker ones were starting to cost me a large letter stamp and that got expensive to send. Cardmaking is not a cheap hobby these days is it.
