Hi JailHouseBabe,

Many thanks for the glitter papers you sent me, I'll have a play with them later and see which one is best for the cherry on the cupcake.

Thanks again.

Hey all,

I'm going to be moving over the next couple of weeks so not going to time for card making but just wanted to ask a silly question. Saveapenny very kindly emailed some decoupage sheets.... how would I cut them out?? They look far too hard to cut out but I can't imagine any other way of doing it.

Thanks xx

Aww Mumhug..yeah just come hear shout scream or cry we dont mind..hope you pick up soon xx
Flourgirl thats really lovely...You inspired me to have another go at stitch cards, I found a template on the net and I have been sat all afternoon with my feet up doing, Its been lovely
Tigzem...Best to use small scissors or a craft knife and turn the paper not the knife...Once you start you will be supprised how easy it is
Start with the biggest pattern so you build your confidence up doing them

Glad you all liked the Daisy and Dandelion cards, it's always more satisfying whenyou can make something for nothing:D

Saveapenny Glad to hear your stitching and enjoying it. PM me your address if you need any patterns I have lots, and will gladly share. We will be back home on Monday night.

Tigzem I treated myself to a pair of scissors from Pergamano, the are curved at the end, very fine and very sharpe, couldn't get on with a craft knife but the same principle applies to turn the paper when cutting

Mumhug hope you're feeling better soon

We are just about ready for going away, I'm not looking forward to the journey -320miles:eek: . Still once we are there it will have been worth it, we haven't seen them since October, wish they just lived round the corner.

minimacka bunbun melissa and flourgirl your cards are all lovely.I really wanted to say thank you for your nice comments I really wasn't expecting any i was just explaining why I had not been on. You lot are sooooo lovely

JailhouseBabe

Evening all

Thanks for the link minimacka, I've downloaded those images and will have a play with them when I get some better paper.

Flourgirl - your cards are lovely. I don't think mine will be up to that standard!

mumhug - I find getting my crafting stuff out helps me; it's just having that time when you can focus on the cards or whatever and take your mind off everything else. Failing that, I walk the dog Glad you're feeling a bit better

I've been busy - I made a couple of cards on Tuesday; my first door hanger yesterday; and have put together a bit of a pamper hamper for DD's friend - including one of those cellophane cones with chocolate and marshmallows (can't really call it snowman soup at this type of year!).

I'll post pics on the relevant threads when I get batteries in the camera

Thanks Flourgirl ...I have a few from when I used to do it before. I will see if I can get back into it ...lol I forgot just how much time it took to do 1 card

I have been looking through all your lovely cards and trying to get myself inspired again. I have more card making and scrapbooking products than a shop and need to get into swing of making some cards. Think will make a box of cards for hospice to sell as that got me in the mood the last time.
