Craft cards

My mum follows my blog so thank you for all your kind comments about her knitting expertise, she was thrilled.

I treated myself to a paper craft kit. I had really got down to the paper scraps and the children had been diving in and taking all the good bits!



I bought a kit called 'Sew Lovely' by Do Crafts. This weekend, in little snippets of time, I have enjoyed making cards for my crafty family members: my aunts, my mum, my next door neighbour and crafty friends.




I used the insert picture as inspiration and loved this craft pocket format. I repeated it in various different guises.



Of course, making cards creates scraps so I finished off my weekend of card making with a little card using the bits left on the table.



All stocked up for the ladies, now I need some cards for men - a much trickier affair.


Happy Crafting Jo xxxx
