Your Card Making Crafts Corner

This is your special place - where you know you have all your things to hand.  This is essential for card making.  Getting your craft supplies organised in one tidy corner is a great way to ensure that you have a place to sit and enjoy perfecting your skills whenever you have a spare minute.  Its great to organise the space with lots of small drawers and boxes for all those little bits and pieces, and you can get these from any good haberdashery.  Card making crafts can be a very mindful way to spend the day but it can take over!  Have a nicely sized desk with a decent working chair to sit on - something like a typist’s chair is good, so you can adjust your position.  You don’t want to give yourself back or neck-ache - and remember to take a break frequently, get up and stretch your neck, arms, shoulders, and legs to avoid getting cramp as you concentrate on this all-absorbing hobby!  

So when you’ve finished with the card making crafts what are you going to do with them?  You can give the results away to family and friends who will be delighted by having something hand made that you’ve taken time and thought over to personalise and make it unique.  Or, you could market your products by taking a stall at the local craft fair where other people are selling and your card making crafts stall will be a welcome addition.   There are other online markets such as Etsy out there, to advertise your creations on.  Altogether, card making crafts are a satisfying, enjoyable and mindful way to spend the day.
