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

Lovely card mumhug - I just don't think I can cut out well enough to ever do decoupage. I blame it on being left-handed, but only being able to use scissors with my right hand for some reason.

Saveapenny - thank you

ETA: Just as I posted this, the postman knocked on the door. Gosh saveapenny, thank you so much!! I'm glad I have the day off today, so plenty of time to play I'll pop a little something in the post to cover the postage

Mumhug I love that card well done.

I have tried my hand at making a pockett book but my first attemp went wrong. I am now working on my second attemp and I am hoping it goes well. I got some nice background papers today and some lovely brads althoug there a little big they will come in handy.

Lovely card bun bun not too cute n cuddly thats the sort of thing I can never find in shops for my hubby.


Think I might go ahead and order from ''mad about cards'' tonight so if anyone has had any bad experiance of them or the x-cut impress could u give me a shout please.

Pathetic but I get nervous about buying from internet if its a place I havent used before.

Any luck on finding a punch savapenny??

No not yet mumhug...cant get it sub £8 I might nip over to my local craft shop tomorrow and see what they have ...have you tried typing "mad about cards reviews" into google ? that machine looks very good 19.99 seems a good price to when you see what you get...sorry though never ordered from them

Finshed the card and I am very happy with it, I have not made the tags yet. Any one know of a site where I can down load a tag shape please.

Going to have to scan the card again as I have lost the memory card reader. Now where did I put my head lol.

Thank you i didnt think of that will try it now.I think the machine looks good does perforated embossing and die cuts. I am going to use my birthday money stash:o

I really hope you can find your punch tomorrow. its frustrating when you need something specific.
