Hi Heather I just watched your card making ideas video & had to tell you I love your ideas! I was about to sell all my card making/cards etc as I’m always quilting nowadays, but you’ve given me new inspiration to begin ‘sewing’ my own. Thank you sooo much 🤗😄
Hello Heather,
I have just watched and enjoyed your lovely video, your cards are so pretty and the various colour and texture choices make them so interesting. I was recently going through my ‘Bits ‘n”’ bobs box with a view to clearing it out and throwing the tiny scraps away, but now I think I’m put the small scraps into another box and keep it with my card making things. Thanks for sharing this fun quick ‘n’ easy idea.
Hi Heather, I just love the way you, fabric scrap, paper, glue and string have it going on. lol I have seen cards like this and have always wanted to do it but never thought I could. I see now and how to think out side the box. Heather I just have to say thanks for sharing all your neat ideas. Now I have to try them.
