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

I now want to share my ideas and tips with others 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 as to what to make next.  Some days I found I just stared at my craft stock feeling glum and uninspired.

Hopefully when you are lost for good card making ideas you will find inspiration to make your own unique handmade 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 and detailed step by step card making guides for both beginners and professional card makers. 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.

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

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