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

Rusty...the shapes have to go where they are , but what you use is up to you... the centre ( ribbon or card ) can go over or under the shapes , but all have to go in the spaces shown and can be any size of card
Hope that makes sense..I will see if I can get mine done tomorrow as an example

Soblivion...nice to see you back

Hi all thanks for all the updates and cards I really appreciate all your tips!!

Thanks for the sketch Saveapenny just a quick question do we just have a week?? Will try and get it done when I'm home but might be tricky as will only have a couple of days and lots to catch up on!

I goy a big bite for my birthday and have not even used it yet!! Was a bit nervous to be honest so maybe we can all experiment together!!

Here are the cards that i made last week, one is my valentines day card to my oh and the other two were for the birthday party that we went to at the weekend. I made one for my sil to give her.

Valentines day card


Birthday Cards





Thanks for setting this weeks challenge saveapenny, im looking forward to making a card, if i see a card that i like i usually make a sketch of it to use later one, i have bits of scrap paper everywhere.

Rusty - if you're confused saveapenny posted a link to a site that had instructions about a sketch card a couple of pages back.

minimaka - those cards are gorgeous - where did you get the quotes from please?

furrypig - you need to get your big bite out of the packaging asap it's fab - can't believe you'll be home shortly where does the time go? - You can use eyelets all over your scrapbook pages of your hols

saveapenny - she's a lilac colourpoint persian (bit grubby) chinchilla would be far too active she struggles to find the energy to get onto the sofa - I'm getting a ife support machine to keep her going OH wants a parrot once she's gone :eek:.

Have a great day - I'm going to sort DD's bedroom with her this morning and then we might craft this afternoon :T

Snipped ya paddington sorry

The valentines quote was from a big box off stuff from qvc that i bought when i first started, and the birthday quote is just a rub on that i bought from a local craft shop i think. I would imagine that the birthday quotes you could pick up from anywhere like the range?

I am in the process of designing backing papers for anyone to download and print and use, but I don't know how to go about sharing them with you all. Anyone know the best way?
