Spotlight on card makers

Karen Colbourn is 35 years old, married and lives in Billericay. She has a full time job in London
Karen says " I started making cards just under a year ago. I saw a pack that contained "Everything you need to make 8 home made cards".

It sat in the drawer for a couple of months, when I finally started using it I was hooked.

At the moment I sell mainly to friends and family but hope to finalise my
portfolio later on this year and approach retailers.

My long term plan is to work from home, producing quality handmade cards.
I hope to be able to combine this with a starting a family.

Karen Colbourn is also an AIB member since July 2003

Jade Elliott is 21 and lives in Essex with her husband Lee, she has been making cards for two years and selling to shops, friends and family.

Jade also has her own range of wedding stationary which she sells through her website.
Jade is very artistic which reflects in her card designs and has always been interested in arts & crafts.

We think her future is very bright indeed!

Emma Kogel is 19 and lives in Essex with her family.

She has been making cards for one year, she is very influenced by Art and also produces fine frt featuring Fairies and Goblins, Emma is attending college next year to study fashion and design and this strongly influences her card making we will, I'm sure we'll see much more of Emma's work in the future.
