During this time I have gained a great deal of knowledge about crafting and card making from attending various classes and courses, friends suggestions and my own experiences.

I now want to share my card making ideas and tips with other card making enthusiasts so please feel free to take a look around my site, and don’t be afraid to leave a comment or ask a question in my forum.

When I first began making handmade cards and designing scrapbook pages I often became frustrated when I ran out of ideas, or had a mental block regarding what to make next.  Some days I found I just stared at my craft supplies feeling gloomy and uninspired.

Hopefully when you are lost for good card making ideas you will find inspiration to make your own birthday cards, Christmas cards, or cards for any occasion after browsing the informative articles and detailed pictures on my site.

For a beginner knowing the correct way to use rubber stamps, peel offs, embossing powders and other techniques for card making can seem daunting at first.
 
Keep trying and you will soon get the hang of it and before long you will master this lovely pastime.

I have provided simple, detailed and easy to follow step by step guides for both beginners and professionals to help you make your own greeting cards. Follow these walkthroughs and enjoy sharing your ideas and knowledge with others as well as putting a smile on your friends and families faces when you give them a beautifully made card.

One thing card makers also struggle with is what to write in a birthday card, what thank you card wording to use, original anniversary verses, or what sympathy message would be appropriate. This is something I will also help you with and have provided template wordings for all occasions.

Together with making cards I have also spent a lot of time making scrapbooks and want to share with you the knowledge and expertise I have acquired in this area over the years.

I hope my card making ideas and crafting tips will be of use not only to novices, but also to skilled crafters as well.

I also welcome your own crafting ideas and suggestions and if there is anything I can help you with please feel free to post your questions on the forum. This will help build a community that everyone can benefit from. I will answer your questions without delay, as I check the forum on a daily basis.
