Making cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (part 2)

saveapenny

Thanks everyone for your kind comments on my card


Furry ..glad you go there safe. We went a few years back in the Febuary for superbowl and it was so cold we had to buy new clothes and they had to shut seaworld as it as too cold for the animals but still had a great time.

Soblivion...Wordle is a geat little site you can do alsort of backing papers with it...I used it to make the Leeds card backing paper. I also did one for a frinds som with all the names of his favourite bands on then just layered a guitar on top

Jailhouse...its paper run through a cutlebug its still called embossing even if you dont use powder and heat on it. I have some Fiskar boards for embossing that I dont use anymore so PM me your address and I will send you a couple.
They are not as good as the cuttlebug but you still can get some textured affects. I will share them out so anyone else who wants some just let me know

Abusybee...No I didnt use a sketch I just played about with the layout still I was sort of happy with it.

Minimacka...Its not a stamp just an image I printed off called lily of the valley...you know where to find them
If you want I will do a stamped image section on photobucket...just let me know I have loads of them. Im not very good at stamping so this is all I can offer sorry But I will have a go later with what i do have
I have a couple of stamps you can have if you want them?

Marg...Your welcome ...Im always a late to bed person expecialy when I have something in my head that I want to do

Hi Minimacka
I'd do it willingly but I don't have any stamps or know anything about stamping - sorry - also I don't think you're being cheeky or need to apologise we are here to support each other & have a bit of fun.

Anything else I can help with just ask......

Mary43 - Lucky you! I inherited my Mums crafty stuff & as it's years old it doesn't have card stuff but lots of buttons & ribbons etc.

Saveapenny - I looked at photobucket first to see if there were any there but I couldnt see any. I know there are some that I sent to you but they are quite specific and not what i actually wanted. I wanted some fairys', girls etc that kind of thing just to practice, there are some lovely cards being made with stamped images and i fancied a go.

A stamped image section would be very helpfull to me but if it causes you a lot of trouble then thats fine.

awwww mini macker I wish I could help you, I do not have any stamps either and have not attempted fairys yet.

I tell you what I will do I will sketch some cartoon fairys tonights and see what I come up with. Now do not panic you do not have to take them and I do not mind having a go as its practice for me.

I think we should have a group MSE outing to paper mill and mob them all at once :rotfl:

Sounds fab to me, do you think they'd give us a group discount?

A little request -

Does anyone on here have any stamps that they would kindly stamp some images onto paper for me, i would really like to have a go at colouring in but am a bit hessitant to buy a stamp as they cam be quite a bit pricey. I would reimburse any costs for the images and postage or even send some stash in payment. I know that you can buy them stamped from ebay but to be honest paying £2 for delivery seems pretty expensive to me, for what would be a stamped piece of paper. I hope you dont find me being cheeky and if i offend anyone please accept my apologies but maybe some one out there might be able to help me. .

Sorry, I don't have stamps either. And I absolutely know you won't offend anyone on here asking as nicely as that, we're all friends

Marg...I did this one for a friends birthday
I used http://www.wordle.net/create to make the backing paper which as all the team names on, then decoupaged the badge myself
If you want I can find a good image and make you a sheet?

Hi Saveapenny

This is a great package, been playing with it today and will use it to do chelsea one form my son. I've been playing with the colours to get the text in different blues, but it appears that you can only change the colour to pre-set ones. Is this right? I tried to custom the colours but can't see where I would pick the colours from as it only shows different greys. Any ideas how I can get the text colour as only blue?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I know that this is not in the colour theme but can I enter this one into the challenge.
