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

cazarol

sorry saveapenny, I am a der der. I sent a pm offering some stamped images but then when I read further on think it has probably already been sorted!! Dont get much chance to browse on her much these days but do like to pop in now and again!! Just wondered which section the stamped images have been put on your photobucket?? With the hangler ones do you think we just save the picture and then print it off as it is?
Many Thanks for this thread...it is fab:j

Has any one used this site before, it looks good and has some dewdrop ink pads quite cheap.

I used the site for the first time on Sunday and I've just checked and the order is dispatched (good knows when I'll get it cos of the weather tho).

If you do register first for the emails you will get a 10% discount code emailed to you (if I remember right though it will have expired via paypal but you can still use it if you pay through the site), free p & p with orders over £40 before discount. HTH.

Thanks groovy girl, I am really wanting some inks from there but going to wait. If I can get British Gas to hold my debt until I change back to them , then I might have some spare money.(mwhahahahahahahahahahaha)

They are both fab cards Jailhouse babe - i'm exactly the same as you when making cards, I am not always happy with the way they look, but when I post them up on this thread and people tell me they are great then I think actually they are aren't they :rotfl: :rotfl: . I made one for my boss for her birthday back in December and today she told me how beautiful she thought it was. That one comment makes the time and effort spent on them worthwhile.

wow I am finding it hard to keep up with this thread! I may just have to give up work and sit here all day instead... although my OH would certainly have something to say about that! :rotfl:

furrypig - glad you got there OK and have a great time, bet the weather there will be lovely, and we are all forecast yet more snow! I hate driving in the snow, I get so scared! :mad:

saveapenny - love your fairy card, it has a very professional look about it

polly - hope your second appointment goes OK and you are feeling better soon, and mary - it must be MSE dentist visiting time as I also have an appointment coming up, next week! although not to have anything done thats half as bad as yours sounds, hope it goes ok for you!

ZLS - very groovy card, I love retro stuff

mumhug - we want to see your book card very soon!!

CT - you have a very genorous boss! I have a fiskars trimmer which I love but I need to get myself a bigger one I think, as its quite small, and was only about £10. Its extremely lightweight as well, they do have larger versions

jailhousebabe - both your cards are gorgeous but I absolutely love the butterfly one, where did you get the paper?

I do, but there are only the two of us in the office. I asked her if she was willing to put some money towards some bits I want to get in hobbycraft at the weekend, and she just said give her the bill on Monday:D . I did buy her half a Tom Tom £50 for Christmas so I think she thinks she owes me!! I'll look out for trimmers over the next few days when I am out and about and see which ones maybe suitable.

Thanks Gemma

The butterfly paper is from a Papermania Flowery Colossal Paper Pack (50 sheets of 8" x 8"). I'm fairly sure it was from the arty miss website, but I can't see it there now. They have got other packs though reduced to 99p.
