Some freebies

Just a short one this time. I buy “Crafts Beautiful” magazine each month so I though that I would share the magazines website and links to some fabulous downloads, templates, papers, digi stamps, colouring pages and much more for you to try out.

The magazines website is www.crafts-beautiful.com from here you will find the links to the freebies. There is also a chance to win some craft treats as they are giving away £13,000 worth of craft related treats.


If you have found this useful or if you won a prize then why not buy me a coffee to say thanks.

Father’s day Mom

This time I have found a selection of father’s day greeting cards for single mothers. If dad is not around and your mother is doing the work of both parents then she deserves to be pampered on father’s day as well.

It is not as big a selection as I would have hoped for, so to all you card designers out there I would like to see a bigger selection next year and how about for dad on mother’s day.

Happy Father’s Day

Where to show off your work

When you have spent ages honing your skills at crafting your cards, you deserve to let the world see your cards. I know that it can be hard to let work that you are proud of be open up to critique but this doubt will soon vanish when you get your first positive comment.


This Journey that is Life Card



There are a number of options from paid to free and ready made to build your own. Galleries are great options but another outlet that is often over looked is Print On Demand sites, after all one of the best forms of critique is when someone buys your work.


Birthdays Are Good For You Funny Birthday Card



There are print on demand sites that are dedicated to greeting cards and other sites that as well as greeting cards also sell many other things. Keep an open mind as that card design may also look great on a T shirt, phone case or coffee mug.

Below are some print on demand sites that might fit your needs.









The above is just a small selection of print on demand sites, why not leave a link to a print on demand site that you like to use in the comments section.

Save money on your greeting cards

Save money on your greeting cards


Looking to save money on buying your greeting cards now is the time to get ready. With Black Friday (25th November) and Cyber Monday (28th November) coming up many stores will be offering gargantuan savings, each store trying to outdo the next, some have already started.


To make the most of these savings you need to have a plan of attack. After all, if it is a site wide sale you can also get the greeting cards you need for the whole year and not just the festive cards. So let’s make a list (I love lists);

  • Who do you need Christmas or New Year cards for?
  • How many Birthday cards will you need next year?
  • What anniversaries are coming up in the next twelve months?
  • Are you planning a wedding, why not get the invitations now?

Have a list for each occasion and then add the name of each person under each occasion (on a separate line), so your husband will appear on Christmas, Birthday and anniversary. Once you have your lists you are ready for the next part.


Find a site that you like or maybe more than one and register as a buyer with them. The reason for registering with them is so that you will get the emails from them telling you what sale they have on and what code to use at the check out. Now that you are registered with the site do not sit back and wait for the email with the sales code to arrive in your inbox, as some of the sales that have the biggest savings are over and done in a short time (flash sales).


Instead you should start to pick the greeting cards that you need. Add the cards to your basket but also make a note of the product number against the name of each of the people on your list just in case your cards disappear from your basket. This way you will be ready when that email arrives with the big discount code.


This may not get you a saving on all your greeting card needs for the year but it will give you a big saving on most of them. To start looking why not try some of the sites below.
