harmonious colour use across all three projects

Jeanette Kirton

How long have you been
making cards?
Over 20 years; I started by
using old birthday cards from
friends and relatives. I would
make toppers with some extra
cardstock to make them into
new cards.

Do you enjoy any other crafts?
I also like to crochet and sew.
I’ve made toys, all my curtains

in my home and I do any sewing

jobs my family needs doing.

Do you have a favourite

cardmaking occasion?

I enjoy a challenge, so when

a relative or friend asks for a

card with a personal theme for

someone, I love to come up with

the ideal card for them.

What are your favourite

products or techniques?

Stamping, embossing, colouring

and using stencils are my  rst

loves, but I also like to make

cards using all my dies, of which

I have many!

What are your crafting

aspirations?

I love being creative, and being

part of the magazine ful lls all

my aspirations.

Do you have any crafty words

of wisdom?

Crafting is a fabulous way of

relaxing, and is so rewarding.

It also gives a great feeling

of achievement... so craft,

craft, craft!

How does it feel to be a

Papercraft Magazines Designer

of the Year winner?

I’m over the moon to have been

chosen as one of the winners,

and I am looking forward to

the experience of being on the

Design Team and being part of

the magazine.
