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

rufusdog52

Morning everyone, I want to cover a small note book with paper to go in a red themed basket but I dont have any thing with red in it at all. I have downloaded lots of sets of background papers from the free sites but its all pinks and browns etc nothing red. I dont suppose any of you lovely ladies would have anything digital with a red pattern or flowers that you could send me would you please?

I am just on my way out bargain hunting for the morning but will be back online later this aftenoon.

Have a nice day everyone xx

If there is a pattern you like I can try and change it to red for you if you email it to me

Hello!

What an unexpected find this thread was. :T

Just wanted to suggest that for some inspiration try www.ukscrappers.co.uk who have a very active cardmaking section and it costs nothing to join. Loads of inspiration can also be found also on www.splitcoaststampers.com they are definitely dedicated to cardmaking and sign up for their weekly newsletter, its totally free too. You'll spend hours blog hopping if you peek into their forums and they are very helpful if you've come across something you are not sure how to do.

Lots of stuff too on www.pagemaps.com and seek out their card maps that will help with a card layout.

Please excuse if this info has been posted before.

dragonllew, thanks for that link, it's got good papers on!
Welcome The wife, great suggestions but I struggle to follow these forums, I'm not sure I could cope with any more lol!!

HUGE CONGRATS to Melissa!

I went through all the cards I have made recently and fine tuned them- adding a few gems and extra sticky tape and I am happier with them now. I'm worried that they aren't good enough so I do hope that my aunt and godmother like them and do use them.

These - you can make them any size you need

Thanks, that is what I am making for presents for my friends kids - didn't realise what they were called though.

This is what i've made - 1 done, 12 more to do.

It's great that they are going so well mumhug, I wish i was good enough to sell my cards, I'm going to keep practising and maybe later in the year give it a shot.

Hello
I need help please.
I've got a cuttlebug which I've not used much. But today, I've bought a set of spellbinders nestabilities rectangles. The lady in the shop said they were compatable with the cuttlbug. Then, just as I was leaving said something about 'packing it up' I don't know what she meant:eek: . We'd already talked about a 'self healing mat' but I thought that was just for embossing with them. I am now wondering if I've wasted my money. Can anyone please tell me how to use these dies with my cuttlebug? I only want to cut with them at the moment.
