Hi. New here. Cardmaking is my way of de-stressing. Any other cardmakers here?

Hi, I make cards and do letter writing, I like to send the cards to care homes and write poems inside for the residents to read. It’s so much fun and you’re completely right, it’s such a soothing hobby that always takes my mind off things. I hope you’re doing okay 😊

Glad I'm not the only one. Just cometed my 1st honor flight, so that's cool. Nope, not okay, but the card recipients are hitting the jackpot 🙃

@biteywhenstressed
What kind of cards do you make? I make a few for special occasions, so would be interesting to hear from you.

I scrapbook and make cards. Do you have a favorite themed card you make? Or a particular style you stick too.


when I scrapbook it’s a free for all and a very creative process but when I make cards, they are kits from Close to My Heart. Not sure if you have them where you live but it’s based in Utah, USA.

Card-making is really fun. I love decorating them and personalizing them for people. I also use a fountain pen and wax seals, just makes it feel fun and official.

Which paper do you use?
I usually use greeting cards templates from prinsbery, there are many cute but here's the thing, I haven't been able to find a paper that I'm happy with. I've tried some paper which is 300gsm, but everything just seems flimsy. Nothing compares to the quality that I find in stores.

I love making cards and I used to make them for the seniors were I worked. I did a lot of them for Christmas and other holidays and I would do calligraphy inside the cards .
