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

Marg

Thank you all for your concern & good wishes for my holiday I am feeling better just a bit fragile.....
This 'card' has all been done on the pc and is aimed at a gap year back packer. The shape at the bottom of the challenge just looked like a road to me & I couldn't shift the notion so I did this.....Sadly it didn't work as well as I hoped & looks more like a seaside post card but time has run out.

Hello everyone, hope you all had a lovely weekend. I've not had chance to make any more cards yet, so hopefully this week I will.

Just thought I would let you know that B&M have some sheets of rub ons for 49p. I got two, one for a baby boy and a happy birthday one.

Not quite sure how well they work as I have never used them before but fingers crossed it all goes well.

Right, hope this makes sense... cut the words off the sheet that you want to put on your card, place on the card face down and rub (not too hard) with a lolly stick or something else flat and blunt, lift the paper away gently and ta da the words should now be on your card

Great cards everyone :T
Marg - I love your card, very creative and personal :j
ZL - your card is so bright and cheerful, it's fab :T
Dragonllew - your cards are all beautiful, well done, my fave is the cat one

Hi all, Love all the cards on here, :T its great to get some inspiration...am going to attempt a mothers day card tonight....

I was just wondering, what you use as the base for cards..I have got quite a few of the pre folded ones with envelopes, but they seem pretty small and I have been watching ideal world this weekend a bit and they seem to use large card and it looks much better...

Hope Saveapenny is ok x

saveapenny's husband - send her my love - I hope she feels better soon.

orchid-96 - I don't tend to buy pre-scored cards as they can be quite expensive. I normally just fold mine myself from sheets of a4.

Marg - great card, really bright and cheerful.
