Tigzem - well done, a great card, the flowers are really pretty.

Rusty/ saveapenny yeah, it was me and Rainmac, the boxer fibres are just a pack of fibres that match the boxer 6x6 paper pads that we got from the glitter pot.

Saveapenny - I am really tempted to order some more stuff from there to match the stuff that I have, but I spent 30 quid there the other week and it puts me off having to pay another 4 quid postage if I order again. The basic grey 12x12 paper kits are fab, I ordered the sugared and the archaic ones. They are a great price at 6.49, most shops are still selling them for about 12-16 quid. If you buy the papers individually they are about 60p a sheet and you get 18 sheets here, plus you get 2 sticker sheets (an alphabet and an icon one) which would cost you about 2 quid each.

Furrypig - fab card, I think I have those papers and chipboard but I have never used them, I just can't figure out what to do with them.

Aww Thank u Melissa & Mary ~ nice to hear u think they're nice. I've got lots made up, now just need some birthdays to give them out!!

I want to have a go at making some toppers using a flower shaped hole punch with some gems in the middle, will show you if they look ok.

Will keep popping by to admire all the lovely cards xx

And this is a Valentine's Card I've done... the card for these 2 cards is sparkly card from the paper mill ~ fab shop!!




Next time I'll take a pic before I put into celophane bags.....

Great cards Tigzem - welcome to the thread.

I went to a Papermill shop today (closest is 70 miles away) but I was like a little kid in a sweetie shop. Only spent around £20.00 but could have spent more, but have got some lovely bits and pieces now. Currently have 3 for 2 on some embellishment - luckily the things that I wanted :j , and also for spending £10.00 they were giving away a free gift, so I did 2 different transactions and got 2 - looks like a mouse but dispenses glue - not sure what the proper name is, but have been looking for this for ages, so 2 should last me a while.

Tigzem I really like your card making style, simple, clean lines stunning results!

Melissa I bought the papers and chipboard a while ago and made a rugby themed card for my other nephew which I really loved, not so keen on this one as I did knock it up in a few minutes literally, so its a bit crooked and not quite as good as it could be but I was keen to try and do the challenge! They are nice papers/bits but there are a lot of the chipboards that say dad on so not sure if they will all get used as my dad isn't into cars!!

Polly, sorry you're still feeling rubbish. My boys both have horrible colds and I've got a very sore throat.

Looking forward to your challenge melissa :T. I have a BIG problem as I can't find my Sugared 6x6 paper I bought from the Glitter Pot. Wanted to have a look and a play with the papers last night and couldn't find them anywhere???

saveapenny - hope you are feeling much better soon too.

Hi tigzem, beautiful cards, thank you for posting them and looking forward to seeing more of them in the coming weeks

So madly jealous of you going to the states furrypig. Have a fab time and don't spend too much (unless it would be silly to leave such bargains behind ).

Arghhhhhhhhh snow, deep cold snow lol. My daughter's school has been closed so might have to introduce her to card making.
