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

flourgirl

I use this site quite a lot. I cut and paste into word then fiddle about with portrait or landscape settings until verse is where I want it then save in folder. I have quite a few that I use over again, only because I'm lazy and I know what will fit the cards I have made.

Saveapenny will be able to tell you about the inserts on photobucket I think

The brown paper is DCWV stack pack
If you PM me your email I will send you something

Verses off Photobucket...I f you save the file by right clicking then save picture that will store it o your PC then print it out, This will usualy print them out at A4 size
Im like Flourgirl I usualy copy and paste them into word or other word program then like microsoft office and then go to FILE...PAGE SETUP...PAPER
Then alter the size you need for your card, You can also go to FORMAT clicl Borders and shading and this will edge your insert so its easy to cut to the right size. This will give you a proper layout save messing with the right position.
I always do a seperate insert because it also doubles up as a good cover up for anything thats on the back

I hope that all makes sense

If anyone needs inserts just PM me your email and I will do one in what layout you need

Flourgirl...I loved making it, it was just so different to making cards. I cant wait to give it to her...5 weeks and counting then I'll be a Nan

Don't forget to tell us when the babe is born. I have 2 gds 5yrs and 16months, 1 each son, youngest son has a partner who has 3 of her own 15. 12 & 10 we met them for the first time last week and the middle one asked if I would be their Nan in Law, so I was quite chuffed

wow great cards everyone!! :T

saveapenny - the melon card is my fave, the colours are so gorge, where did you get that paper from?

flourgirl - fab cards as usual, the mens ones are great, i may just have to shamelessly borrow some of your ideas for when I need to do some mens cards (as long as you don't mind that is!) and your stitched ones are lovely, so intricate sounds like your class was an experience and a half, I'm sure they all appreciated you taking the time to do it for them

Saveapenny - gorgeous nappy cake. I saw a couple on a market stall today they were selling them for 13quid. Now I don't mean to be rude!! but they were nothing compared to yours. Theirs had hardly any nappies on them and looked as though they had been thrown together.

Flourgirl - glad your session went okay!!

Furrypig - I've had a few replies about the KI cardstock. The cheapest so far has been the shop I found before. The prices seem to range here from 1.75 - 2.20! Here's a link to the forum if you want to keep any eye on the replies.

Sorry I don't think I thanked you yesterday! I have seen it slightly cheaper than those prices but it still seems a lot when it's 50 cents in the USA!! I have some in my basket but not going thru checkout yet as trying not to spend money until after friday in case I get lots of bargains there!!!

Fab cards everyone.... I'm in the middle of moving so not doing much at the moment!

Saveapenny, do I just print the papers on a normal printer on normal paper? I still don't get how you colour in the templates!!lol
