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

CT19720 - S Michaels - ZLS1984 Great cards So pretty

Jailhouse babe - I also get behind reading all the posts 7 then get lost & confused.......

Rainmac - thanks for your holiday good wishes, that's where I go wrong, trying to cover everything - I've never needed the wellies!!:rotfl: Hope Thomas is getting better.

Saveapenny - Like your idea of leaving his stuff out:rotfl: though he is quite good at letting me have most of the weight...... it's the sponge bag in the case that is the worst - now our hand luggage is all shoes. FWIW I also thought of another brad on the bottom part of the card with either a ribbon or cord loop or, what about a fine covered elastic say like a hair bobble without the bobble. If you got one for blonde hair it would match....... Oh & we're going to Tenerife.........

Saveapenny, Just had another thought - could you somehow attach a loop of fibre/cotton etc to the base of the flap on the inside and have a brad or paperfastener on the actual handbag, so that to close the flap you just loop the fibre onto the brad? This may work.

This is just what I was going to suggest!! Would look quite good but not sure how easy it would be to do!

Great minds think alike and all that jazz!

Just want to add that there are some lovely cards on here especially the creativity thats already happening with saveapennys sketch, I love how people interpret things and have their own style, looking forward to getting home and having a play!

Well done all xxx

Marg...hope you have a brillaint time, I wish I could fit in your suitcase but by the sounds of it there wouldnt be room ...Im hoping to book my summer hols soon ..Probably another cruise maybe Norway, We have a Greek one booked (back to Santorini in September) but you can never have too many holidays

I wish we could get away now but hubby as to have his kidney stones blasted again, Ive missed my winter sun this year

The double sided tape on tape worked a treat ..thanks Paddington
I was going to try the brads but I hadnt got the right colour thread to tie round it

Hope you all like my card I made tonight

Great card saveapenny. How about repositionable glue dots so you can stick it down but it can be re-opened?

Done my challenge card! I'm not very happy with it but that's because it's a man's card and I always struggle with cards for blokes...



I'm re-using the cross stitch beer glass from OH's birthday card for this one for my uncle!

Savapenny - Love both cards. I love the idea of a handbag that you can open. I always fasten mine down permanently with double sided tape.

ZLS - The cards are great. My favorite is the lilac flowered one it is so pretty.

Marg - Have a good time.

Gorgusslass - Welcome. Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Raimac - Fantastic card. :T You should be very proud of it. Any man would be pleased to get that (or any woman if beer is their thing lol:rotfl: :rotfl: )
