The Quick Cards team peruse the goodies in Hobbycraft…

We had a team outing to Hobbycraft yesterday. We had great fun! They’ve started to get some Christmas products on the shelves which is great for us because we’ve been doing Christmas for almost 2 months now (I swear it gets earlier every year!) Here’s a peek at some of the gorgeous projects coming up in our next issue - our first Christmas issue...

I was always the first to get covered in powder paint and glue at school and not much has changed since! I’m so lucky to be able to combine my creative hobby with my job and work on the art team at Quick Cards. The best part is that I get to design our fab cover gifts and then see the fantastic creations you all make! I also love styling the photographs of the beautiful cards our designers make.
