There is nothing nicer than receiving a unique handmade card or gift. Create your own card for that special anniversary or celebration using some of the ideas below.
Alternatively if you need that special card for your husband, wife, partner, family member or friend then I can create it for you. They make ideal keepsakes for those important occasions. Each card is handmade on request and can include a personalised message of your choice. To see the cards available then check out my folksy shop.
A lot of different techniques and products can be used to create a handmade card. 3D cards have width and height but also depth to give that three dimensional feel. Below are examples of some of the cards I make.
Pop up card amazes the receiver with meticulous stationary inside showing up upon opening. These are created using my Cricut
Box card folds flat hiding the interior and then opens into the shape of a box displaying the inside. You can access a template to create your own box card here or you can access a template on Cricut.
Bottle card is in the shape of a bottle and the 3D effect is created by layers showing an interior scene. This was created using my Sizzix and Cricut machines.
This is similar to the carriage clock and uses layers cut on my sizzix to create the 3D effect.
The 3D effect is created by folding the card and then uses strips to tie the folds together. You can find a template for this card here. If you have a Cricut machine you can find the project here.
This card uses a set of dies I use with my sizzix to create a 3D design that gives the impression of a carriage clock.
Quilling involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. The paper shape is manipulated to create designs to decorate greetings cards.
They can then be used with other decorative items to create unique cards for any occassion.
Christmas is a great reason for being creative. These cards were all created using my Sizzix machine. Please see my shop for my selection of Christmas cards.
These cards were all created using my Cricut machine.
