Hello and thank you for your interest in our site. My name is Hazel and I have been making my own greetings cards for about 7 years now. I own two other websites besides this one Design-A-Dream which is a site for other designers to purchase my graphics to use in their own designs and Crafty-Cuts which is a website for cutting templates for electronic cutting machines.
I also design card making printables for card makers to download and make up to give or to sell. These are to be found on the following sites:
Card Making Downloads
Crafts U Print
Crafty Cardmaking
Home Print Studio
Craft Rabbit
Why not take a peek to see what else I do. Just click on the names of the sites and it will take you straight to my designs. If there are any you see that you might like as a 'quick print & go' card that isn't on this site, let me know through the 'contact' page and I will do my best for you.
Please remember that although this website operates 24 hours a day, unfortunately I do not, if you have any queries please email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
When I started making my own greetings cards to give to friends and family, I purchased an electronic cutting machine and started to design my own templates for use with the machine. I then started selling them on ebay and built up quite a good reputation with the 100% positive feedback from my delighted customers.
However, in eBay's infinite wisdom they decided to dtop the selling of anything in 'electronic' form and I had to close my shop down. They did me a big favour (although I didn't see it that way in the beginning) and I opened up my own website selling them. I have now sold all atound the world.
About 3 years later I was asked by Sammy Murphy of Card Making Downloads to design for her site, which I accepted, then the owner of Crafts U Print contacted me and asked me to do the same for hime . . . and the rest, as they say, is history. Except a designer friend of mine, asked me if she could use the backgrounds that I designed in her own designs, at a fee, I said yes, and soon many other designers asked me if they too could use my designs and so, Design-A-Dream was born.
Now, friends and family have said, I'd love to have somewhere where I could just download a decent card and print it out to give, but I don't want to go to all the bother of 'cutting', 'sticking' & faffing about . . . so, now we are here!
