I use www.madaboutcards.com a lot.

Nice cards Tick Tock. I am also making recycled christmas cards for charity this year. I must post some photos of them and maybe we will get others on to it as well:)

[TickTock]

Great idea Mrsl. I have a load of old Christmas Cards and it's a bit daunting to think up so many different designs. Particularly as cost can be a factor, as I try to keep the costs down for any embellishments. Looking forward to seeing your cards and any others that may turn up here.

[mrsl]

TickTock here are a few I made this week, I hope to get better at it!!

[Chris P]

Great stuff, TickTock & mrsl. Thanks for your sharing your ideas and handiwork!

[Scrabble]

Thanks TickTock for starting this thread.I love to make cards and scrapbook but time is always against me! When I can I will upload some photos of my handy work.
Love the cards you made and mrsl too.I never make my christmas cards on time.
Theres always a mad rush a week before christmas to get them finished and sent.
Thanks also for the links.My poor husband thinks my arse is glued to this seat because I'm on Jumble Town so much.LOL!

Do you always make your own Christmas cards Scrabble? I used to do it years ago but it got too much and to be honest some people I sent them to really weren't that interested in whether they were handmade or not. So now I only send them to a very few friends who really want to receive the handmade ones and who understand the amount of work that goes into them. I mostly give them to fundraisers.

I will post more recycled cards when I have got them done.

Are there any other JTers who recycle Christmas cards? If so, please join in.

[Scrabble]

I used to make loads of christmas for everyone I knew but now I only give handmade to those who appreciate them like yourself.
I stick to a simple design so its not too overwhelming.I realised when it wasn't fun anymore that I was making too many.
I love making my childrens birthday cards.Only last week I made a castle card for my 4yr old and of course Dora was on it too.
I always make things for the childrens teachers at christmas and end of school year because I know that they are appreciated.

Happy crafting

[durran]

Hi
They are lovely Tick Tock and Mrsl, I hope you keep us informed about your craft fairs, I would love to attend.

[Scrabble]

A card I made last year.Hope this works because I'm trying to resize my photos and I don't really have a clue about it.

[Scrabble]

I can't believe that worked.Now I'm off to resize some more to show off!!

[Scrabble]

This one is recycled.I just put a used tag on it.

[Scrabble]

This is my baby girl.Shes 4 years old now.This is an 8"x8" scrapbook page.
I printed out the title and then hand cut it.It took a while!!LOL!!

[Scrabble]

One more.I think I need to make these a bit smaller.
These are my two boys.They don't look like that any more.I'm nearly looking up at them now.How time flys.

[TickTock]

Hi there Scrabble - your cards and scrap pages are lovely. I use the VSO resizer for photos, sometimes I need to bring the size down, again and again so they will fit. My camera has different photo sizes but it doesn't take photos small enough for JT, but I am still getting used to it. Hope more JTers join in with us. I will post more when they are done. I also do brand new ones too.

[mrsl]

These are lovely Scrabble. More, more!!

I use Paint to resize, very easy ...just open the photo using Paint, then go to Image tab and select Resize/Skew.

Resize by 50% in the top 2 Horizontal and Vertical boxes. I often have to resize again (maybe next time by 80%) to bring the image down small enough for JT.

mrsl

[thepallasbull]

hold ur head up high and keep showing them off because u deserve it keep up the good work(",)!!

[Scrabble]

Thank you very much for all your lovely comments.

I resized my photos in photo express.I'm always afraid I'l press the wrong button and delete everything!! The photos I do have up are the max size allowed by Jumble Town but they look huge.I'l play around with it today and see if I can upload them smaller.

The first craft site I became a member of was docrafts.co.uk.I have a gallery full of cards there and so do my children.Its a long time since I uploaded a card there.Its a great site for ideas.I prefer the American style of both scrapbooking and cardmaking, thats why I love twopeasinabucket.

Thanks again

[Scrabble]

Cds are great for using on cards.
I gave a craft class at my childrens school last year and we made cd scrapbooks.I used a cropadile(great hole punching tool) to punch holes in the cds,then covered the cds with fancy paper,stuck on some photos and put rings through the holes to hold it all together.The kids loved making them.

[Scrabble]

I love to use an apple on a card for teachers.The apples here were cheap keyrings I got in penneys.

[TickTock]

I've just been playing around with Paint and it seems a lot easier than the VSO. So I'm really happy with that. Thanks Mrsl. Your cards are fab Scrabble. I've never used cds on cards. The apple keyrings are a clever idea. Gosh I can see a great future for this thread!

[Scrabble]

A few more of mine.
Come on girls,I want to see more of YOUR fab work.

[Scrabble]

Hi crafters,
I've just uploaded my new storage boxes made from beer boxes in the before and after section if you would like to take a look.
Still waiting to see more of everyones handy work.

[kate44]

These are nowhere near as good as yours scrabble but i was quiet proud of myself for a first attempt.lol.

Let me no what you think. !!
Thanks for the tips on uploading photos i can finally do it.Yippee

[Scrabble]

Hi Kate44,
These cards are great.I've been making cards a few years now and really only make them when I need them.I seem to work better under pressure. I like to stamp and use embossing powders and I love brads and eyelets.
I'd love to see more of your work soon.
Happy crafting

[pulldotherone]

WOW ye are gifted thay are all fab well done

Wendie 99 (http://www.lovelywendie99.com/)

[TickTock]

Kate44 - lovely cards. Do you have a Cuttlebug or Big Shot? I've stopped myself from buying expensive machines but I expect they do help a lot, particularly for dry embossing, I'm still using the lightbox. But I do have the small X-Cut which I bought when they brought the price way down, but now I know the reason - the pieces are too small really, so it was probably a false economy.

I made some cards this evening but haven't the energy to take photos right now. I'll catch up with you again girls.

[Scrabble]

Some recent cards I made.

[Scrabble]

Hi crafters,
I just found out that a craft shop in Greystones is having a craft day on Sunday from 12-6.They are selling craft items for sterling prices.( I am not connected to this buisness in any way.)
If anyone would like more information please pm me.
I'm still waiting to see more of your fab creations.Unless you are like me and are waiting for the kids to go back to school for some ME time!LOL!

Happy crafting

[mrsl]

Hi Scrabble,
Do you know the name of that shop?
mrsl

[Scrabble]

Hi mrsl,
Its Premier arts and craft store.Its beside the lidl shop,Blacklion,Greystones.
Should be good if all the prices are sterling.The number is 01 2873796 in case you can't find it.

[TickTock]

Here are a few more - the brown ones are from last year and the other three I did this week. I need to get up more speed on the cards. Thanks for the info Scrabble - I may make it, not sure yet.

[TickTock]

Really like your house card. I must give it a go myself.

[Scrabble]

Hi TickTock,
I love your cards.Alot of people don't think to use brown cardstock but it can really make your cards stand out.I haven't started making christmas stuff yet.
I'm making a stationery box for teacher presents.I already made some for last years teachers and they were a hit.I got the details through twopeas website.I will upload them shortly.Keep the cards coming.I'm loving this.

Happy crafting
Scrabble

[Scrabble]

These were easy to make.I followed a patern I downloaded off twopeasinabucket website.If anyone would like details to make one, just ask.Thats the lid beside the open box.I should have taken a photo with the lid on!!

[mrsl]

Absolutely fabulous Scrabble. I'd give it a try if you'd send me on the instructions, please?

I'm going off to check that website now:)
Thanks
mrls

[Scrabble]

Thank you for your comments.I had great fun making these.If you go to twopeasinabucket.com and search for juliesteed,the page will come up with the one that she made.If you click on it and scroll down to the last comment, she has a link for the person she copied it from.
And this lady has a video showing how to make it and you can also download the pattern.You may have to register with twopeas but its a great site anyway and its free to register.

[TickTock]

Hi papercrafters, here are my latest recycled cards. If anyone is looking for tutorials for any kind of crafts, I find Youtube a great source of info. There are lots of tutorials there. Does anyone use Flickr, Picasa, etc., to store photos of their crafts. If so, which is the best one to use? Any advice welcome please.

[TickTock]

Just a few more. These will by my last ones for a while. Anyone else want to join in here?

[TickTock]

I was hoping someone could give me some info on Flickr or Picasa etc - which one is best?

[durran]

I use pix.ie for photos .

[TickTock]

Thanks Durran. I hadn't heard of Pix.ie. Have you found anything negative on Pix.ie? I was told Picasa was better than Flickr but as I haven't used any of them I wanted to know if anyone would recommend one site above another. I suppose they all do the same thing really. Thanks anyway, I'll check the site out.

[durran]

nothing negative with pix.ie . flickr has a limit to the amount of photos you can put up. I don't know about Picasa. pix.ie has a limit but it is huge. It costs nothing give them a try.

[TickTock]

Durran, I'll give it a try. Meanwhile I don't suppose you recognise the pink ribbon you sent me - its on the pink recycled Christmas Card. Pity the picture is a bit too big and you can't see very much of the ribbon, but I thought the colours went together. Thanks again.

[mrsl]

Tick tock, I use www.photobucket.com. It allows 50mb of free storage for photos and video.
mrsl

[TickTock]

Thanks Mrsl I'll have a look at Photobucket - I forgot about that one.

[colmsmum]

Hi All,

Hope you don't mind me butting in! This thread is fantastic and the cards are fabulous, well done. I love cardmaking & crafts too, I've started my christmas cards also but haven't taken pics of them yet. The only ones I could find on my laptop to contribute to the thread are two wedding cards I made last year to order, hope you like them! I'll add more when I get time to photograph them.

Keep 'em coming & happy crafting,
colmsmum.

[TickTock]

Hurray!!!! Another cardmaker! Welcome Colmsmum. Your cards are lovely. Hope to see more from you soon. There must be more cardmakers on JT! Keep 'em coming!

[Scrabble]

Hi Colmsmum,
I love your cards.I have to make a wedding card very soon and these have given me some great ideas.How did you do the couples names?Did you print them or stamp them?
Its great to have more crafters join in the fun.I felt like I was taking over the thread.LOL. I would also love to see crafts like altered art, scrapbooking ect. so keep them coming in.It gives others inspiration and I think its a great hobby because it gives so much satisfaction.

[Laura h1]

Hi, i am looking for advise we are planning to have a christmas market and hope to raise funds for our local church - i was thinking about making recycled cards and i am a horder and i'd say i have loads - can you tell what to do and how can i say that they're recycled and in aid of the church

[TickTock]

Hi Laura h1

I've sent you a pm. Too long to submit here.

[Scrabble]

Cute snowman card. Very easy to do, just cut different shapes from coloured card.

[TickTock]

Clever use of shapes Scrabble. I'll give it a go. I've been tinkering with some scraps and came up with these tealight decorations. I've seen some done with Christmas backing papers which look nice so I'll do some of those as well.

[Scrabble]

These are lovely Tick Tock. Are they paper or stickers? I love the silver ones. The snowman card is not my idea. I copied it from a magazine but its really easy to do.
I uploaded pics of the presents I made for christmas last year if you'd like to have a look in ideas for homemade xmas presents thread.

[TickTock]

Hello Scrabble
Thanks for your comments.
The red ones are just red glitter card with gold star stickers, both I think I bought donkey's years ago in Easons before I started 'serious' crafting! I'm sure you could pick them up in a toy shop craft section for kiddies.

The gold ones are some sequin waste which a friend gave me years ago and I didn't know what to do with it, but stored it away for just the right time. I don't know where you could get it here, I think she got it in the US or UK. It's gold on one side and silver on the other.

The silver ones are just silver peeloffs borders which I bought at the Belfast craft show last year in the King's Hall (its on again this weekend), they were being sold off at a special price of 25p per sheet so I bought a few sheets and again stored them away until now. Are you going to Belfast this weekend for the craft show?

Another friend provided the candles, they have an opaque plastic cover, not the foil ones but they could be used as well just not with silver decoration of course. I hope to post up some more stuff over the next few weeks if I can get down to it. I thought of white strips of card, punched with fancy punch and maybe red snowflakes or sparkly bobbles for snow.

Have a go, I'd love to see what you come up with.

[TickTock]

It's been a while since I've been on this thread. My last lot of papercrafting for a church sale fundraiser. A friend gave me some strips of light cardboard and said 'do something with them'. So I did.

[Scrabble]

These are beautiful TickTock. Where did you get the calenders? The ones I have are very small.

Thank you for the kind comments. Scrabble, I got the calendars here:

K & M Evans
School and Art Supplies
5 Meeting House Lane
Mary's Abbey
Dublin 7

They are 8cm x 6cm. I have a few left if you want them I'll send them to you. I won't be making any more this year. Let me know.

Of course, these calendars can go on for a few years - all you have to do is keep the pretty part and change the calendar every year! Nifty!

[orca]

love the calendars TickTock,

they are a great idea for a present, will have to look out for the calendar part in the art shop.


orca

[Scrabble]

Thanks for the offer TickTock but I wouldn't get a chance to use them. I'm trying to find the time to make calenders out of small wooden blocks. If they turn out nice I will upload a photo here.

[TickTock]

No problem Scrabble. I'd like to see your wooden ones when they are finished.

Orca, if you or anyone else wants these little calendars to make your own, just let me know cos I won't be making any more this year.

[Scrabble]

I made this last year and my kids love it. I just covered a frame in christmas paper and added a magnet behind the glass. This holds the clip in place that has the numbers on it. I've posted this and a few other things in the Before and After section if you would like to take a look.

Wow, absolutely fantastic!

[TickTock]

Lovely stuff Scrabble! I'm sure your daughter was delighted with the card, it's so pretty and girly!

I'll be checking up on that website in due course - I'm all crafted out now and I don't expect to do more than some baking now for the next few weeks. Although having said that, I'm already thinking about some items for Christmas 2010!! I must be nuts!

[orca]

thanks for the offer tick tock,
but wouldnt get the chance to make anyhting this side of xmas now,
too many other things having to take priority.

[maggied]

hi all love your cards , i make some too .question fore colmsmum , the ones for the weddings that you have posted here that have beem personalised with name and date , how did you do this ?? thanks maggied

[Teish]

I really enjoyed looking at all your beautiful cards and pictures. The calendars were gorgeous and I got some great inspiration to make some new cards.

I started making cards about a year ago thanks to a QVC craft day (missed last Christmas but had great fun making this years cards) and scanned every card I've made into the hard drive. Alas computers are not nephew proof and I didn't have anything backed up, when he dropped the thing :(

Since then I've tried not to think about the cards or 6 years of digital photographs that I never printed, all lost (so far, but maybe i can get it fixed). Anyway thanks for sharing your photographs, tips and websites - I'll be checking pix.ie in a minute as well as a few others.

All the best,
Teish

[TickTock]

Shame about your computer Teish - hope you can manage to retrieve your photos. Welcome to the Papercrafts thread. I am already planning some recycled Christmas cards for next year. Hope to get them up here sometime soon when I get a chance. TT

[maggied]

Instructions are on http://pandacub143.deviantart.com/art/Origami-Winged-Heart-Tutorial-77604231

[TickTock]

Hullo everyone.

Maggied, its been ages since I've been on this thread - lots of things have been happening (mainly bad, unfortunately) so I've not been crafting very much lately, but hope to get back to it soon. Nice heart Gormal! I don't do origami as such but I have made an origami shirt for handmade cards, like this one on Youtube, but I don't use the same paper!!!! I really don't have the precision needed for origami, or the patience! Check it out at this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8nmnOi06-E&feature=fvst

[Gormal]

lol TickTock I wouldn't use that kind of paper either....... mind you if I was giving it as a gift in a card it would be a different way to present it!!
Thanks for that

[maggied]

hi all , tick tock every cloud has a silver lining hope your lining shines through soon xx watched your link for the shirt it did make me smile would abe a nice thing for front of a mens card card and gift in one . gormal no i have not tried oragami but i will try the shirt and like tick tock not sure i would have the patience for much more but your heart is very cute . happy crafting to all

[maggied]

here is some cards i have just completed,you can see by the spring colours that i am willing the sunny weather to come our way !
maggie

[TickTock]

Love your cards Maggied. I've not been crafting for ages. Started a card three weeks ago and not finished it yet. Lots still happening here at home and can't concentrate. But have lots of plans at the back of my mind. I'm really delighted to come on here to 'escape'. So many nice people here! I still have your envelope of goodies on my craft table and I will be using them, I promise.

[stars1]

Very nice cards.

[Gormal]

I haven't made a card in years. But with all this inspiration and it being Valentines soon I decided to have a bash. Silver card from a gift box a bit of printing and there you have it. All I need now is a apt verse!

[Teish]

How about

My dearest darling ducky,
behind your ears are mucky,
but never mind,
love is blind,
My dearest darling ducky :D

[maggied]

OMG iwrote this verse to my darling husband ..ehem a few years ago when he was in the navy it was written on a post card (how sillyb of me ) and to this day his nickname is ....ducky ....lol xmx

[Gormal]

How about

My dearest darling ducky,
behind your ears are mucky,
but never mind,
love is blind,

LOL! I'm doing a serious one this year for a change. Last one was

My love is like a cabbage, divided into two,
The leaves I'll give to others, my heart I'll give to you.

[barton]

my wife's work:

[TickTock]

Lovely! Great vintage look. I've been away from the cards for quite a long time due to other pressures - time to get back and hopefully do some recycling again. Well done. I'm just thinking......I do believe I have that Christmas stamp too!

[Teish]

Beautiful! I love all the sheet music.

[Scrabble]

Really beautiful cards.

[Gormal]

They're fantastic really love the look.

[bluecurlygirl]

Goodness me it's way too long since I visited JT. How is everyone here? Some beautiful work on here folks. Loving all the crafts. I'm a crafter myself. Anyone batch making for valentines or are ye ready? Any ideas for repurposing for valentines cards or have you repurposed a valentine card yet? Dying to hear more from ye. ;-)

[Sarahnimble]

I use www.madaboutcards.com a lot.

Yes I love using card websites for inspiration as I enjoy making them myself with my children, such a great activity for them. Getting them involved with arts and crafts is a perfect way for them to start expressing their emotions. Another great crafts site to use for ideas is something like Cregal Art (http://www.cregalart.ie/marteccart/pc/mainIndex.asp). Does anyone else use this site? It even sometimes gives great deals on crafts, another site I found recently that is good for daily ideas for cultural events ^ musuem tickets is Groupon (http://www.groupon.ie/bargains/). Thsi is a link to the Irish site, think there is a UK for those who are interested.

[Gormal]

I've recently found out that caffeine hates me but was left with teabags and rather than throw them out I decided to make paper envelopes for them, big enough to hold 2 teabags and gift them as a little extra in thankyou cards. Writing the tea type on the flap.

[Sarahnimble]

This is an photo pf some fun me and my daughter had last weekend for a arts and craft day me and my friends held for our children.

We called it Billy the Penguin, hes form the artic. We all made different ainmals for Noahs ark game, it was a great way to teach the children and relgious events making the animals was so much fun! I collected some coupons from the sets from this website, was great as got a really good deal on the procducts!

What does everyone think?

[Gormal]

I'd read some time ago about appliqué on cards, so I thought I would give it a go. You need to iron on interfacing onto the material then cut the shapes, I sewed the wing onto the chick first then sewed it to the card, the eggs were to small so i just glued them on. This works best on tri-fold cards, I think for ordinary cards you should just stitch everything first then glue on to give the illusion that it is sewn on. Finally add the finishing touches by drawing on the extras, so that was the easter card finished.
Then I made a Bithday card, the dress topper was made from a template found on google images, the girl was a drawing I picked up a while ago, I just changed it a bit and painted it, for the writing I copied one of my fonts lightly in pencil then went over it in pen.

[matilda]

here's a few christmas cards i made and also a few birthday cards, the virgo one i made for my daughter

[TickTock]

Great cards! I love, love, love, cards made by recycling/upcycling. Funny, I was just looking at some fabric-on-card cards yesterday and wanted to have a go. You've whetted my appetite now!

[Gormal]

Some more fabric styled cards, and a real man card for that biker in the family.

[Gormal]

Had a pile of paint charts and decided to do a sort of mosaic on card. Settled for a bird, since I wanted to start off slow and easy. But it can lead to a whole lot of complicated designs too.

[Gormal]

I've had a mini spate of card making, mostly making them for a charity to raise funds.
This is old cards to new ones, funnily enough nearly all were Christmas cards! I'll be keeping a couple of these for myself. Some of the toppers are from Crackers, I think I had planned to make tags from them a long, long time ago.

[TickTock]

Nice cards Gormal. I haven't been crafting for a long time. Must get back to recycling my Christmas cards again.

[Gormal]

Nice cards Gormal. I haven't been crafting for a long time. Must get back to recycling my Christmas cards again.

I've had a splurge!! I've so many 'bits' saved in a box that have to be used up. And I've a rescue dog, so am out walking daily, which has led to the resurrection of my pressed flower cards.
My brother in law had an accident and have made this one from some of the bits, to put a smile on his face
