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

JailhouseBabe

Hi saveapenny - love the cards. My favourite one is also the pink petticoat, it's just so pretty. Must admit though, those rabbits scare me!!

Well thanks to Marg I have made a new home card. I'll post a pic a bit later, but Marg I used the teddy card you sent, but I cut out the square with the teddy in and attached it to a card using foam pads and did the same with the wording, I think it looks nice. I couldn't work out how to print the inside the right way around, few choice words were used hence why I did it this way!! lol

Has anyone made any cards for the marie curie cancer fund? I picked up a few bags today from the range so will send some off. x

SAVEAPENNY - Your cards are all wonderful you obviously have a real talent for it. My favoite is the wedding one the dress is really elegant.

How can I put a link to my photobucket instead of posting each card like that?

Hi Mumhug,

I think all you need to do, is when you are in photobucket go to one of your cards and go to the top of the screen and copy the full address from the browers line ie http:// [click once on the address and it should all get highlighted]. Then right click and copy, and then go into your message on MSE and right click and paste, the link to your photobucket should appear. Submit the message and bingo, we should all be able to click the link and get taken to your photobucket page. I have just done it for mine (as above), and the link below should take you directly to my photobucket:

a preview for your cards should appear on the right hand side which people can scroll forwards and back on to see your cards.

Hope this helps, and is clear to understand.

Can't wait to see it, so glad you're happy with it :T

Marg - many congratulations to your neice!!! My best friend is due in July and I've already spent quite a bit on Winnie the Pooh cross stitch books and charts to try and find the 'perfect' one to stitch for a present (my friend has always loved Winnie the Pooh). Also bought a small Pooh scrapbook kit on ebay to have a play with.

What sort of pooh design are you after rainmac I have loads of designs that someone very kindly sent me when I used to do a lot of stitching which I'll copy and send you

this ones cute - I have several of the ones on sew and sew if you give me an idea I'll have rummage

Rainmac can I be cheeky and ask where you got the pooh scrapbook from? was it a seller who sells lots or just a single one?

No problem mumhug,

What lovely cards you have too - it's great so see other cards, gives me loads of other ideas and insperation as to what I could try. Can I ask where you get the 'cars' from that you used. Are they downloaded or bought? You've given me an idea for my uncle who loves jags, but I wouldn't know where to start looking for one.

saveapenny

CT...PM me your email and I will send you a good jag one I did for my hubbies birthday
