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

THE-WIFE_3

Hi! Kim

have you tried glue dots? Wire embellishemnts often come with a little dot at the back for attaching to your card, you can get micro glue dots as well. Hopefully some of the other posters will be along soon with some better ideas.

Hi! Everyone! Still here, been busy with the auditors and had one sitting along side me most of the week so I couldn't get on through the day. TSK!

Beautiful cards everyone and have you got your Easter freebie from Pink Petticoat, its on the blog.

Have been looking at blogs over the weekend and added comments, you've all made such gorgeous cards. I've made a few Easter cards and a few more with the Basic Grey Urban Prairie papers... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/

So glad MSE is back up and running. felt a bit strange without it

bun bun - love the card - really classy looking

rainmac - never knew you had a blog..............super cards - where do you find the time, let alone the imagination for them all.

saveapenny - another lot of lovely cards on your blog and such a tidy craft room................not like that very often I bet.............lol

With mse down yesterday I thought I'd use up some of my bits of card to make up some cards for the breast unit at the local hospital - felt quite pleased that I'd reduced my paper and then what do I do this morning ? I go and order some from 'make the moments' like that rainmac put on the other week...................lol (Not told OH yet...........) Might use the ones I've ordered(or some of them) for a photo/scrapbook for mums friend - it might actually get me around to actually going through photos and stuff I've been putting off.
