Paper Crafting Forum

Made a start to my homemade cards for friends on forum , these were all I manages then my back was so sore Who would have thought arm movement could affect it , but it's a start

Herded my swaps from years back and made all these cards. They fit into 140 mm cellos for donating.

Lockdown mats, layered with sentiments free with Making Cards magazine. I used to get it, first the published version, and then the digital version with Pocketmags. But these and many like them are free to download from the magazine site. 😁 6x6 cards (150 mm) The patina on the blue cards is due to

Hi ALL!!! Just finishing up a birthday card. It was fun to make. I have been going through my stash and finding things I had not used yet and giving them some love. The background is a Tim Holtz embossing folder (I do use that alot). I started with beige cardstock then ink blended with distress

Hi friends! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Just finishing up this project. This is a set of silver heat embossed, then stenciled gate fold note cards. A while in the making but very fun and relaxing to make. The box was also made from scratch from the same cardstock. I love this type o

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. Sharing a card I made for my husband for his 65th BD on the 4th.

At a loose end yesterday so grabbed a kit of Hunkydory pansies, as I have two. (Why? 🙂) Decided to do something different. I cut the large patterned sheets in half to make card bases. Then I used up the smaller toppers, motifs and sentiments. And trimmed with gems. Quite pleased.😊 And I still hav

Thought I had posted this yesterday, but can’t see it! Made a run of cards and insets to reduce my stash of toppers. Cut and folded A4 down to A6. Ditto insets, ten of each colour. Trimmed corners with a variety of serrated scissors. All ready to go!

Sort of… Filled in this photo frame with cat postcards to amuse visiting grandkids. Silly thing I know, but it kept me off the streets for a while….😁

Made a card for my niece’s daughter Lucie, so had a session of therapeutic cardmaking. Found some lovely church window diecuts in various cardstocks, from a RAK way back, so did a run on them And a gold Doyley too. Textured satiny gold coloured cards. Confirmation, First Communion, Wedding and Anni

A wee indoor wreath. Still basically the same origami pattern, but with a larger outside border in black A4 paper just folded. Inside one of scrapbook papers halved, then folded as before. Halloweeny motifs to decorate. Looks a bit squinty but it hangs straight! 😁

Used some 3D sheets, but not quite as intended. Instead of 5 or 6 layers, I did just 2. I thought this looked good enough without making the envelopes too bumpy. The plain rose was from one of the original sheets of six basic pics, which I had from way back when 3D was catching on. The Vase - I u

Found some mats I had punched out in my Lockdown stash. Linda's origami fabric thingy reminded me I had also had a session withTeabag folding. So I delved down and found them and made these: Some 6x6 and 4x4 inch cards.

Yet more. These are from my collection of ATCs from swaps of former years. I loved them all. But time to stop gloating over them and put them to good use!

But some not. Got my cardmaking head on. A wee change from yarn and fabric. This is the first lot. Formulaic but soothing.

Culled and cello-ed, with a little ' Handmde in Scotland This card is blank for you own message' label printed out a zillion times and inserted down the back of each. Just want the credit for my work, before these disappear from my life forever .Boo Hoo. 😥😥😥

Using up two more topper sheets and more torn envelopes. Not brilliant but not bad! 😊

My crafting mojo has atrophied as a reaction to all the stress ( enjoyable though) of Daughter’s wedding. Gathered enough energy to force myself at last to do something: formulaic cards from press-out decoupage sheets. I stuck to two layers to keep postage costs down, and shall use leftovers elsewh

On a roll with red card stock and backing papers, toppers greetings and gems from stash. Top corners cut diagonally with fancy scissors to show white inserts.

My granddaughter Maura was christened recently. It was postponed as Harry and I got Covid. Then I got a call to make some cards quickly. Made these to choose from.

Like the Summer door wreaths I did previously this is made using Scrapbooking paper (12 x 12 ") and construction instructions can be found on craftworld.com 12 Days of Christmas Origami. Used two of my stash swaps from previous years. Carolyn- you might recognise the apple fridge magnet! Using FALL

The tan birdhouse, with white roof is the gift box

Unearthed a stack of toppers I had made during Lockdown. Here is a small instalment carded up on satiny card stock.

Used up some backing papers, paper punched mats ( brown, pink, green, blue and one little lonely yellow) pics, gems, and peel off sentiments. Made them all Best Wishes as that covers a multitude of things.

Hi all - hope you are all doing well. Sharing a pet sympathy card (my least favorite card to make) I made for a friend. Her pup was a German Shepherd, named McGregor, I added the Rainbow Bridge Poem on the left inside and a sentiment with his name on the right inside. The en

Another displacement activity to avoid doing what I should be… Went through all my card makes, selected from my stocks , surgically removed from my emotions 😩 and cellophaned quite a pile. Over 100 here! Divided them randomly into three carrier bags to donate to various charity shops. ( I didn’t w

Pink and green.inserts - added mats, images, greetings and gems. Pink are all 🎂 birthday, and green are assorted greetings. Also faux stitching with a narrow nibbed felt pen. Mats from strips torn from scrap coloured envelopes. Used up some press out 3D images. There are 4 layers, but I used first

It's so relaxing making these paper decorations. All you need are lots of pieces of paper (I used red wrapping paper), glue and scissors. Decide how big you want your decoration. Make yourself a template of the shape of your decoration. Draw around the template onto your paper - do this lots

Gathered various toppers from my stash and had a card making session.
