Oh what a shame. I'm fairly new to card making. I started by sending handmade cards to my teamies on UKS and then expanded my list to include my crop friends. This last Christmas, for the first time, I didn't buy a single manufactured card and had some lovely remarks on my handmade efforts. My mum and my sister also got interested, neither being papercrafters, and we spent a lovely day at my sister's house making cards together.
