CT19720 - Oh dear! another symptom of being OLD! The wavy lines on your Easter Eggs look like trimming my Mum used to put on my frocks when I was a little girl & it was called ric rac braid.
ZLS1984 - Really Love your card wonder if the back tag needs to be a bit darker so they show up against the pastels? Hope you don't mind my suggestion:o

Marg, no they are not ric rac braids. Just me using pinking shears and trying to do two different thicknesses and colours. Thought it would be easy to do one thinner than then other, but it didn't turn out that way. Got there in the end though.

Not my 2 year old lol think it was hels

The tags for the card have to be slotted in at the front, in between the 4 folds. I will try a darker colour and see how that looks.

Hi,

I've been a busy bee and here are a few of the cards I have made since the weekend. Not sure which one I like best, or why I made Easter cards already! My OH gave me my stamps and embossing powerds today for my birthday, so looking forward to playing with them






I like this one and thought it would be easy to do, but found it very fiddly!

Love your cards, my fave is the vase of daffodils, that is really lovely :T

Happy Birthday for today :j

:bdaycake:

Lovely cards everyone <- sorry that's collective but I've not been able to see any pics on this computer till today:mad:

DH loved his cards and his bits for his birthday. He said I should make all the cards from now on, he said it's so much more personal re the words. I was quite gobsmacked to say the least. Hope he likes the valentine's one as much.

Marg...CT and Hels...lovely cards ..you have all been really busy and it shows
I love glitter too but hubby is thinking of baning it from the house becaue I cover everything

Rainmac...thank you so much for the box...I have been working on it this morning so everyone can use it and for the cost of 1 sheet of A4 card it can be done
Here are the templates...hope they work out I havnt had chance to try them yet


The lid might be easier to do onece the box as been done im not sure my measurements are right on the box lid
But for less than 10p a box its got to be MSE crafting

dark lines are scoring ---- are cutting
When you score the box fold both ways


ZL ...have you got my photobucket?....in the art nouveau section cd2...there are a load of tags there..if you see one you like but the colour is wrong let me know which one and I will alter the colours for you

CT..Happy Birthday...hope you have a great crafty day
xx

Thanks savapenny - had a great day so far, but no time for crafting yet.

Are these the measurements for a 'peek a boo' box? If so I placed an order and got 5 from craftywarehouse, but will only be using 2 of them. If anyone would like one of the 3 thats left, let me know and i'll pop them into the post for you.
