An interview with...Sarah's Card Creations

This week's interview is with Sarah from Sarah's Card Creations!

  
What is your business called and how did you you choose the name?

My business is called Sarah's Card Creations. My name, Sarah, what I make, cards, and then creations as I am creating them. It just sounded good and made sense.

  

What do you make and where do you sell it?

 
I make handmade cards for all occasions, canvas clocks, shabby chic paper albums, chipboard keepsake albums, note-a-balls and mini trinket boxes.

I sell online on Facebook and through my website www.Sarahscardcreations.co.uk. I have a page at Wowthankyou. I attend local school and craft fairs.
I supply It's A Wrap Cornwal, with chocolate themed cards exclusively made for them.




Where do you find inspiration to make what you sell?

I use my imagination a lot, but also have many papercraft magazines and books that I will go through to find inspiration.
I have my own little book which holds sketches of many of my card layouts I have done. I keep a photo record of all of my creations and sometimes just going through these helps.
I have been on some paper craft courses at Scrapangels, which is in St Anges Cornwall and these have helped me move on from just cards to other crafts.



If you could teach any craft to someone who would it be and what would you teach?

I would love to teach anyone who is willing to learn any of the skills that I have.
I did use to hold a crafting group at my old house in Cornwall, where I would teach the girls how to make different styles of cards.
Failing that I would love to teach Tom Welling to make a canvas clock.

 

Name a few of your favourite shops/businesses that sell handmade items.

Angelcrafts ~ Helen is aways so friendly and helpful
Handmade With Love ~ Lou takes care in what she makes
Nappy Cakes Cornwall ~ Kerry makes beautiful nappy cakes

   

If you had unlimited time and creativity, what would you like to make, even if its something you haven't tried before?

I would love to make a scrapbook of my life so far and one of my little boy.



How did you find Crafters Showcase and what would you like to see us do to help you promote your business?
 

I found you on facebook while I was finding ways to promote my business. I love the weekly showcases and getting to see everyones talents. You do a great job.
Maybe do a charity auction, where everyone on your page could donate something to it?
