I thought I'd give my three mums (Mum, Step-Mum and Mother-in-Law) hand made cards this year. I only have limited supplies as I'm skint :( but I'm quite pleased with them. What do you think?

They look lovely,I'm sure they will be very happy with them.Even more special as they have the personal touch..:thumbsup:

I do too, i made one each for my mum and my mum-in-law; hubby got the choice of which one he wanted to send to his mum, and mine gets the other :)

me and my baba always make our cards, as whisper said its much more appreciated than a card that cost £5+ and no imagination used.

your cards are lovely

and shops jsut charge SO much!!! damn retailers, i like to avoid them wherever i can!! :evil: :hihi:

Thank you :)

em3978 - I've given my partner the choice of which one he wants for his mum aswell :)

it works well that way too :)

especially when you know that they are all FAB :D

I am just finishing my motherday cards. When they are finished I will post them.

They look great well done! How did you do the lettering? I always have trouble thinking of anything other than peel offs :rolleyes:

I jsut dug mine out (i made them a couple of weeks ago when i was housebound) and the one my hubby chose has got squished :blush: :(

They're great! I've not made mine this year as I'm tied up with other things at the mo, but I have been trying to make some for birthdays

Cut your own out of nicely coloured felt! Or other materials, you can choose your own colour, texture and style!

I made one for the kids to send to my mum - here it is : (hope this works!)

Love doing cards - becomes a bit addictive though!

Have you done any Easter cards Harleykim?

I haven't :( I've not had the time. I wish I had though.

Ive always said that things-weather theyre cards or gifts that are made by hand are far better than things that are bought from a shop.
Theres more love in it for starters and when I get anything hand made by someone I keep it forever. Just the thought that a loved one has worked on the item makes it a thousand times more precious, dont you think?

Totally agree Jabber. I've started doing most of my own cards now. I really enjoy it and the response I have had from people has been worth the while. They love 'em (or so they say!)
