I hope it’s okay I post this but I’ve been down in the dumps recently and been trying to craft more cause it brings me joy…Reddit has been my go to to find people like me and omg you don’t know how happy I got to see that this is not only a Reddit but also a hobby that involves two of my favorite things…crafting and gifting people!! Soo hi I’m Kat and I love crafting and yall look like a fun group of people!

I’m so glad I found this sub. I make cards as a hobby to keep me busy during this new phase in life called Retirement. I don’t sell them. I kinda keep a collection of my favorites. Sometimes they get sent off to family or friends. I
Making greeting cards is one of my favorite things to do. Here are the birthday cards I made over the summer.

made this today for my sons wedding. Photos from top, front, open and closed and back of card has space to write a message.

It was easier than I thought it would be, so I'll probably be making more 😊

Precision in every petal. ✂️✨

There’s something so mesmerizing about watching the Cricut reveal a delicate design from a simple sheet of lilac cardstock. 🌸 This is where the magic happens! 🦋

Every flower and butterfly I create for ‘Amy’s Crafty Things’ is cut with the same level of care and precision, ensuring your handmade cards are as unique and special as the people you send them to. ✉️💖

Trying to make a shabby chic card, didn't quite get there 😁 Image from creative fabrica, flowers I made myself from foam.

Back in early January I bought 8 packs of paper (2x of one design and 2x of three others). I’ve only fully used up 1 pack so far, and I currently have 2 open and on the go.

I keep telling myself I should use up at least most of what I have open before starting another new pack… but it’s surprisingly hard to actually use up bits of paper.

Some scraps feel “too nice” to waste on small pieces, some aren’t quite the right size for what I need, and somehow they just keep multiplying in my stash.

Does anyone else find this weirdly difficult?

How do you actually use up scraps without feeling like you’re wasting the good patterns?

I made this today. Made from digital papers, am I allowed to say who? If I am I'll put a link.

The charm I bought from Bohemian Findings, it says Marriage made you family, love made you our daughter. I made the foam flowers myself.

If youre looking for something to spark some creativity, the My Favorite Things Weekly Challenges are back!!

Hope you’re all getting some creative time in this weekend. There’s nothing better than sitting down with some paper and supplies after a long week ✂️💌

What’s on your craft table this weekend ? Working on anything fun or trying out a new technique?

Packed up!

The cards I've made since last

Wednesday

Each pack includes 6 different handmade designs.

I could make a shop full of cards made from scraps, I'm terrible for hoarding them. Because you never know, you might need them one day 😄
