This month we’re celebrating our bloggers and their creativity. In January 2015 at CHA, bloggers gathered at our CHA Networking Event to meet companies and to work more with us here on FaveCrafts. Each blogger was then sent a box filled with new craft products from the company sponsors. They set out to make projects from these new products and we were blown away by the results. We’re featuring these fantastic projects all month with giveaways so you can make your own versions of their wonderful crafts.

I have a church ministry that includes sending out more than 600 cards per year. It is for birthdays, anniversary, get well, encouragement, etc. We so often make our own because we can’t find what we

I used to make all kinds of cards. The last few years I have gotten away from it and have gotten store bought cards.

My mother-in-law always makes beautiful 3d cards and has inspired me to learn, for birthdays and any special occasion really
I love making cards for all occasions, even “just because”, especially now, since my little one has gotten old enough to be interested in helping with some of the crafts lol
I’m a beginner and haven’t made any cards yet. I look forward to making cards to celebrate the special occasions in the lives of my loved ones with personalized cards that are more meaningful than cards made by mega-corporations.
Christmas Cards
I love to make handmade Christmas cards
I make birthday cards for my family, and sometimes make “just because” notes.

What a gorgeous card! The vast majority of my cards are thank you cards. A few friendship, just because, anniversary, get well and baby cards… in about that order.
I love to make my own Birthday cards – this way they can be personalized to each individual person.
I like to make Christmas cards. We change them up every year from stickers to stamps to change the designs. Everyone gets a kick out of them and everyone is different from each others. It’s always a lot of fun!

All my cards for all occasions.
To be honest with you, I’ve never made a card. I do use my cuttle bug to make soles for 18″ doll shoes though. I wonder if I could emboss craft foam with the embossing folders? It would be pretty nice to make textured soles for the shoes.
I make birthday cards and wedding anniversary for my siblings and their spouses and children. I also make sympathy cards and thank you cards,
The price of purchasing cards has become ridiculous. If I manage to find one that’s pretty outside, it is either blank inside or has a saying that’s too generic, or just dumb! If I’m going to write my own card, I might just as well create it entirely. It also burns me up to have to pay for a store card that I still have to complete or “doctor-up.” That’s why I prefer to make my own cards. They are aesthetically pleasing, say what I want, personalized, signed, either serious or humorous, and are a reflection of myself, because I made them. Those who receive homemade cards also appreciate them more, because I thought of the person the whole time I was creating their card. It becomes part of the actual gift. Created cards are special, personal, appreciated, and fun!
I love to send cards. God bless
These products will catapult you into the wonderful world of card-making. Once you feel the joy and satisfaction of your own creation, you will never want to purchase store cards again.
I send out birthday and get well and sympathy , thinking of you and praying for you cards to all my church family and my family and friends. This is my what the Lord has put in my heart to do. God bless you all
A personal card made by you carries muchmore meaning than a store. I make my cards and i find people keep then long after the event is over.
Mostly Birthday Cards but also some funny cards for my great grand daughter.
I particularly like to make sympathy and get well cards, mainly due to the fact that I lost my dad, sister and cousin , last year. I’d like to think that I’m adding my personal thoughts and feelings in those type of cards. I think now , that I’m more in touch with others losses.
Making your own card adds a second, even more thoughtful gift. Your recipient will know he/she was on your mind and in your heart for a very long time.
What an awesome prize! My first thoughts are invitations or any greeting card but I might take it one step further and a make mini album or recipe book! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
