Card Making Goodies from Create and Craft
When I was a kid, I used to love making presents for my friends and family. I spend ages making them pictures, paintings, cards, friendship bracelets among other things. I still enjoy crafts, but have turned more towards sewing lately.
However, when we were sent some card making goodies from Create and Craft, it ignited my interest! Our four year old twin girls joined in with the card making too and they really enjoyed it!
3 spools or ribbon (varying colours)
Essential book of 2016 sentiments
Self adhesive pearls
Small Letter beads
Pack of cards and envelopes
There were a variety of different shaped cards which was nice, and they all fitted into the envelopes perfectly. All of the cards were the same ‘ivory’ colour which I thought was nice as you can really let your creativity loose on each one!
The girls made a card each for their dad for Father’s day. Inside the essential book of 2016 sentiments there are lots of different messages in all different shapes and sizes. R and M used one each for their cards with the message, Happy Father’s Day to the Greatest Dad in the World’
Other messages include: Friendship isn’t a big thing, it’s a million little things, I’m so sorry, Wishing you good luck, Get well soon, To a wonderful mum on Mother’s day, Belated birthday wishes, Here’s to a bright future graduate and many more! It’s a great selection of messages in all different shapes and colours meaning that you can make a card for anyone and any situation.
The girls decorated their cards with ribbon cut into different sizes and they used the adhesive pearls and letter beads for extra detail.
Here is a selection of some of the cards we made:
Overall, we really enjoyed our card making craft activity!
For the purpose of this post we were sent the above items. All views and opinions are 100% my own.

I used to love making cards with my son when he was little. This looks like a good pack. The book of sentiments is a nice idea

This looks like great fun, and much cheaper than buying cards! My niece would love making these.
