Wow wow wow, what beautiful cards, I'm very scared to make and post one now as the competition is so fantastic
dragonllew - you've been rather busy with your cards, all fab but your pop up vase of flowers is superb :T, I had a quick look at the instructions but it is waaaaayyyyy beyond me, yours is fantastic :j
cookiedough - beautiful card, I love the colours and the way the card fold up, looks pretty and delicate :T
Rusty - how professional does your card look, it is fantastic, do you use a certain programme to get everything in the right places? Love your choice of papers and I love the names (especially the settle down kiddie one 
)
:T :T :T well done everyone :T :T :T:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -
I only placed an order with them yesterday and paid postage, saw the email from them today and another few items seemed to have got put in my basket today (free p&p, couldn't resist).
what have you ordered? I have a basket full and am trying to decide what to order:rotfl: I know it depends on what you are making but would you say 12x12 or 6x6 are more useful?saving for ds2's summer international scout camp - £200

I tend to use 6x6 for cards and 12x12 for other stuff. What are you looking at missus???:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -

mainly basic grey papers. I used the cupcake one the other day and thought it was fab and want to order more but can't decide which ones - I just like them all! think I might go for the 12x12 cos they are more versatile.saving for ds2's summer international scout camp - £200

Everything - what a good choice :T :rotfl:
The Basic Grey stuff is beautiful isn't it. I ordered the Two Scoops 12x12 paper pack yesterday and is arrived this morning. So gorgeous, can't wait to open the pack tonight and have a play with them
You're right about 12x12 being more versatile cos you can use them for any sized project.:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -
crazychatter thanks for the info on the glue gun. I have no idea about what is a good price and what isn't which is why I asked on here. I will look for a cheaper one (looked in home bargains yesterday but couldn't see one)!saving for ds2's summer international scout camp - £200

Dragon You've made some gorgeous cards.
Cookie I love your mothers day card, she will be so pleased
Rusty I want that card for "Grandma"! It looks a bit complicated for me!
Girls you are all so very talented, you should be so proud of what you make:T:xmassmile Looking forward to December:xmassmile0 -
These cards are so wonderful! I love the flower pop up card but wish there were written instructions!
the glitterpot has some wonderful stamps but I just cant justify the money at the moment. I realised last night I really need more toppers, I have far too much pretty paper but hardly any embellishments!
Rusty, I love how you have used the pink petticoat box idea as a card! well done!! I made one last night but used a hole punch for the ribbon holes and it looked silly with such big holes, think I'll use a craft knife next time.

Wow 3 pages to catch up on, phew.
Thanks for all the nice cards and well done to everyone that has posted pictures the cards are lovley. Sorry I am not using names I am very tierd, its a bit of a busy week for me :-(
I found the book card quite easy to make once I got the hang of it.
Sorry if I have missed anything out,

If you have loads of papers how about making your own embellishments using papercraft 'methods' such as teabag folding, iris folding or cutting flower shapes and layering different papers decoupage style one on another... Just an idea :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0
