... and Fabric Christmas Tree Cards

I still had blank cards left over from the  Fabric Scrap Cards I made last year, so put them to good use a made more this year!

... and Family Thumbprint Christmas Cards

With our new addition , I wanted to send out a "family" style card. Not being the type of family who can pull together a decent photo, we opted for these Thumbprint Reindeer cards instead...

... and Five Minute Thank You Cards

Melody is 3 months old so I thought I'd better get round to doing some Thank You cards for the lovely presents she received when she was born (prompt yes?!!). Sometimes you have the time to make really impressive "WOW" cards. This is not one of those posts! I needed a way to do a lot of cards quickly, that still looked personal...

... and a 'Crafty What Nots' Review

Jenny from  Jennysis has previously written a fab guest post for us on how to make a Card Box so we were delighted when she asked us if we would review one of her Crafty What Nots subscription boxes! Here's a bit more about the selection of crafty things we received and what we made with the supplies.

*Disclosure - we received a free package for the purpose of this review. All opinions are our own.

... and Bachelorette and Bachelor Party Invitation Cards

Ann Harris has previously written some great posts for us about Flower Girl Baskets and Ideas for Wedding Decorations. Today Ann shares another guest post with us - about how to make Bachelorette and Bachelor invitation cards (or Stag and Hen do, as we would call them here in the UK!).

Just as a reminder, here's a bit about Ann: Ann Harris lives in Melbourne, Australia with her lovely husband and two beautiful children. She loves to write about love, relationships, beauty, weddings, DIY tips etc. Her hobbies include cooking and reading. Life is beautiful!

... and a Card Box Tutorial

We are lucky enough to be able to share another great guest post. We love how Jenny from Jennysis Crafts describes herself as a 'craftaholic'! She definitely puts that to good use with this tutorial on how to make a card box! 

Hi crafty people! I’m Jenny and just love to craft, I make all sorts and run a range of workshops so I can share my passion. I started blogging free tutorials and ideas recently at Jennysis Crafts and I want to encourage everyone to craft, no matter their experience. I run all sorts of workshops and teach all abilities and really wanted to offer these tutorials for anyone to reference. I stock all the materials I use in my shop so if you particularly like the papers or tools I use then you can buy them all in one place. Well enough about me, let’s get on with the crafting!

Last weekend was Mother's Day here in the UK. For the first time since Mally was born I had the day to myself with my boys. So obviously I had to make sure that I sent some extra special cards to my mum as well as Dunc's mum. They do so much for us!!

... and Custom Wedding Invitations (with Prize Draw!!)

We have another fantastic guest post today, from Joanna O'Sullivan at Joanna's Little Shop. Joanna shares with us the steps she takes to make her beautiful custom made wedding invitations. Also, there is an opportunity to enter a prize draw...... read more about this at the bottom of the page!!

..........................................

Here are the steps in my production of custom wedding invitations. I like this particular example because the client wanted a flat card with the actual invitation part on the front and she chose to put the directions to the wedding venue on the back. My invitations contain an image from an original painting that I do specifically for the invitations and I give that painting to the client as part of the package.

... and a Zip Heart Valentine's Card

Well there's no avoiding it any more. Valentine's Day is coming and there are hearts EVERYWHERE! As I mentioned last year in my Paint Swatch Valentine's Cards post, I'm not normally a fan, but it is totally mandatory to at least make a card!!

So here's a round-up of our favourites - we can't wait to try some of these!
