Handmade gifts – Christmas cards!

November 24, 2011 by Barb 8 Comments

I love to make Christmas cards. As well as my computer and printer, I have every little paper crafting gadget there is – stamps, inks, eyelets, brads, ribbons, punches (oh so many punches), embossing tools, paper cutters (3), decorative scissors (dozens) . . . you get the idea . . . oh, and mountains of paper! The strange thing is – I hardly ever send any!! Whaaa? you say? Well, I like to give them as gifts. That way I get triple the pleasure. First I make the cards, then I give a package of four or six cards as a gift to a friend, and then my friend sends them to their friends. Make sense?

Cute little Stampin’ Up stamps (I have a very good friend who sells them).

My own little bird cutout creation.

Delicate lace leaves – I love these!

Love the theme of postage stamps!

    A great idea… so much more special than receiving a single store bought card! I have a Sister-In-Law that makes the most amazing handmade cards every year, really a labor of Love.
