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

melissa75_2

Sorry skiergirl -I haven't got one so I can't help. Could you maybe use something recycled for the challenge - like a piece from an old greeting card, or some buttons or ribbons that you've taken from an old dress? I think my card will be made from great bargains that I've managed to find rather than a recycled theme.
Bunbun - I'm glad your stuff has arrived - neither of my parcels have been delivered today, so I'm sulking. I have so much stuff that I could do with having another clearout!!
Saveapenny - I'm off to check out your blog in a minute!!
Jailhousebabe - brilliant card, I can't believe it only cost 6p - now that is a credit crunch card!
Rainmac - lovely card, the colours are so vibrant. Was the stuff out of one of those packs in the sale??? I hope so 'cos I ordered two, I'm sure one was the same colour as yours, and the other was a peach colour.

Made this earlier, I wrapped a bit of foam board in gold foil to make the inside of the bible look like it has gold leaf on it. Details on me blog.

Gangstabird - lovely card, I love how you've used the eyelets, I'm sure I haven't got a link to your blog either. Are you entering your card into this week's challenge?
I've just finished my first project with my bind-it-all machine and I've just posted some pics on my blog, here's the link:

Madmam - what on earth are you on about - its a beautiful card? I really like your stamped image - what range is it from as I don't think I've seen them before? It looks like a lot of work went into your card I love all of the different materials that you've used - are you going to enter it into the creative card crew "texture" challenge???

Melissa I love the book you have made with your bind it all machine. the papers and embelishments are gorgeous, I love the colours.:T is it just lined paper inside? are you going to use it as notebook? I hope your stuff arrives tomorrow. It is so annoying when you are waiting for deliveries isn't it?

gangstabird I love your Christening card. it is very plain and simple (in a good way!) - just perfect:T

madmam fab card. I love the stamp you have used:T

Rainmac Beautiful card gorgeous colour reminds me of the seaside. :T Have left comments on your blog

Saveapenny You have been busy they are stunning. :T The flowery ones are very retro and remind me of my teenage years and "Flower Power" I still love the Scott McKenzie song
"If you're going to SanFransisco... be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...

Gangstabird Lovely card for a christening, it has a very calm and serene feel to it. Hope the baby is calm and serene when he's getting christened !:T
