Some card-making tips you may find useful.



Add your own really useful card-making tips, and help others to learn from your experience.







We all know some really good tips that we have picked up, some are very long standing.

But the new card maker may not have heard about the things that you take as an everyday occurence and so here is the place to pass on your knowledge.

Share the techniques you know and love to do. Tell us your best storage ideas, or about your favourite piece of equipment, the one you couldn't bear to be without.

Think about all the little things you do that are second nature to you now, and ask your self if someone else would benefit from this snippet of information that you have.

The tips gathered here will be added to the website and credited to you as the author.

What little snippets can you pass on to us all?


We all have things that we do to help our selves save money or time, maybe something that was passed down to you from your mum or grandmother.

I remeber my own mum always having a button jar, and in it she stored all the odd ones she found, and this was something I shared on the website.

You may know something that is quite simple that we may not have thought about, and yet when it is passed on we will say......"Wow! why didin't I think of that"

Don't be shy, share your treasures with fellow crafters.

Give your hints and tips a title.

Tell me the story to the things that you know. [ ? ]
