Love what you have done, I have some of the same craft supplies and it's nice to see that you're not using the latest crafty 'must haves'... even in 2014. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi, very nice job ! You make such beautiful cards and it's always a great thing when we can use up our scraps or recycle anything into something new and beautiful. Well done ! Cheers ! Janis
I love this video, and your cutting tool with the different templates that you use. Great ideas you have given me, with the pile of Xmas cards that have been given to me each Christmas. Thank you
Great idea, I cut my Christmas card fronts out with stitched squares, circles or ovals in different sizes depending on the design. I then used doily and ornate dies to back the pictures or edge the cards. I had made about 30 by the end of January and have have lots of pictures ready to start again In a couple of months. I am in UK and make about 150 Christmas cards for our family, friends, fellow Rotarians, Inner Wheel and Town Twinning members plus our many friends overseas. Cards help us keep in touch and although some people moan about postage I give out as many as I can by hand and even those I post are not as expensive as they would be if I had to travel the miles to deliver to friends in Virginia, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Australia. Keep up the good work
Thank you Ruth! Your cards sound beautiful :) You sound like a very busy lady :) I agree, I love to send cards to friends and family. TFW Much love Jane :) xxx
@@thebookladyjane This was my first year I didn't make Christmas cards. I got so busy making other things and ran out of time. I f you would like to visit my channel to see. I did do some cards years past. Happy New Year🎊🎉 Tammy 😇
Hi Amy, thank you :) The tool I use is called the Ultimate Crafter's Companion, here's a link to it for you th-cam.com/video/TD9wlkBNk9I/w-d-xo.html I'm so glad you found something useful in the video. TFW Much love Jane :) xxx
So Gorgeous and talented. I’m trying to figure out what the cost would be to start this project. What is the name of that cutter you have? The rest is double stick tape and what else?
Hi Mindy, the cutter is called a Big Shot. I mainly just use my scraps when making recycled cards. Thank you for your lovely comment and TFW Much love Jane :) xxx
Hi Rachel, the one I have (Sizzix Big Shot) cost about £80, but there are smaller, cheaper ones available. You can always, just use a template to draw around and cut your shapes out that way. Hope that helps TFW Much love Jane :) xxx
Hi Vivian, thank you for your lovely comment. I've been crafting for many years, so my tools have been collected over a long period of time, but I guess if you bought them all at the same time, it would be expensive xxx

thebookladyjane Thank you very much.
I need to get me one of those cutters, id like to do this, but i would have to cut everything out by hand. Are they very expensive?

Super!
Thank you :) xxx
Great ideas but I have none of the tools you are using to recycle your cards. Must be quite expensive to buy everything??
Hi Vivian, thank you for your lovely comment. I've been crafting for many years, so my tools have been collected over a long period of time, but I guess if you bought them all at the same time, it would be expensive xxx
I do this too!! you'll have to PM me your address so I can send you one this year :-)
Samantha Wright Will do Sam ... let me have yours too tfw :) xxx
Way to fast
Where did you purchase that roller ???
