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

tigzem

saveapenny & jailhousebabe ~ thank you.... never tried decoupage, is that layering to make a 3d effect? Assume I'd just print those onto card and cut out and then add on top of each other (told you I'm new to this!!)

Like the idea of making a house out of card with the number on there, will need to find out the number they're moving to.

Jailhouse, my fave card is the 2nd one, lovely xx

I still not found a design I am happy with for the tags for my card think it may have to go with out. Was going to try something with a frilly edge but I have lost my pinking shears.

You're absolutely right about decoupage

Hi Tigzem
I have 3 new home cards ideas/images but they are in Adobe and I have no idea how I get them on here or photobucket or send them in the pm system on here so you could pm me if you are interested or maybe someone can tell me how to do it? IYSWIM

Marg...if you open the file in adobe tehm go to edit , it should let you copy to clipboard...the I paste in paint and then save as jpeg..if ou havnt got paint send it too me and I will do it for you

Here are a couple of cards I made tonight and last night
I will only post 3 the rest are on http://s333.photobucket.com/albums/m373/SaveaPenny/cards/
Saint Chris is it the font your after? http://www.dafont.com/ is good for finding fonts If you wont the H to be large and go down the page Once you have typed it in just left click and highlight the letter you want bigger and alter the font size...I hope Im on the right track with what you want.
My first Pink Petticoat card

Saveapenny - Thank you! I've got paint I'll have a go - sometimes pcs can be frustrating -I KNOW something should be possible but I lack the experience to actually achieve what I want. Thanks
Your cards are fab I love the gosamer on the flowery one
