Card Challenge of October

This month the lovely Paula from CRAFTS U LOVE is challenging you to create a card for Christmas using Blue and Silver.


Crafts U Love was formed in September 2001 by Paula Baughan and Jenny Baughan (Mother in law). Both avid card makers at the time frustrated by the lack of quality craft companies. Using a spare bedroom and having a bathroom as a stockroom with an ironing board as a packing table was hardly ideal at the time, but served a useful purpose..
But how things have changed since then. In 2002 Paula's husband Geoff left his job to take over from his mother Jenny. Using his IT, Sales and Marketing background Geoff rebuilt the website and started a marketing campaign, which included full page adverts in various magazines, website promotion and attending shows up and down the country. Using Paula's creative talents and general business skills the business continued to grow and after moving home 3 times in 5 years to accommodate the business, it eventually outgrow their home. In July 2006 Crafts U Love moved to their current premises in Charlwood, Surrey. This enabled them to grow their product range and increase stock levels.
Crafts U Love is currently one of the largest Die Cutting and Rubber stamp stockists in the UK and now also stocks most of the world's leading die-cutting systems all of which are complimented by a wide range of general card making and scrapbooking products.


Here are the cards created by our design team to give you some inspiration.
