Cards.....

I started my papercrafting "career" as a card maker, and was a card maker for many years before Scrapbooking caught me.  This year I've vowed not to buy any greetings cards if I can help it, and so far so good!

Emily's Godfather's birthday was on Sunday 30th October, and here are the cards I made for him.

This card was hand stamped using my Mo Manning Simon Stamp, which can be bought from Charmed Cards & Crafts, and coloured in with my trusty Promarkers, which I love!  The October card was part of a Jenni Bowlin Calendar set, and the lettering is Sassasfras!

This is the first time I've used my Stampin Up Owl Punch and I love it!  It was very easy to do and I can see why people are addicted to making critters (watch this space, as I've bought small red pompoms for Reindeers noses)!  I've used a piece of heavyweight Kraft Cardstock, some orange patterned paper from my own stash, and a couple of lengths of Bakers Twine.  Simple, but great!
