Having lived in the U.K. for over a decade, I caught the card-bug. The
British are champions when it comes to sending cards. Entire high street
shops dedicated to them and cards for every occasion you can imagine.
Maybe that is why I got into card making too!! Isn't it lovely to
receive a (handmade) card from a real person wishing you all sorts of
good things amongst bills, junk mail and useless reminders from
companies? Sure, we should be eco-friendly and save paper, but many
cards (mine included) are made of recycled paper nowadays.
So, here I was this year, wondering what to send for my own personal
Christmas cards... Of course, I had to use my brown recycled paper and
maybe incorporate some elements of things I sell in my shop. But I also
wanted them to feel more personal and be multilingual, of course!
I used
- brown & grey kraft paper (100% recycled)
- photo stickers
- airmail twine
- different kinds of washi tape
- decorative vintage travel theme stickers
- upcycled packaging
- and some real stamps!
I am really pleased with the end result. Hope my family and friends like them too
