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

melissa75_2

Right everyone I've just gone through what seems like 1,000 pages and here are the entries for the challenge:
jailhousebabe CT19720 mumhug furrypig
paddindtondoo Rainmac Marg bunbun2
gemm85 skiergirl she-grinch dragonflew
rustyflange flourgirl saveapenny
Can I just ask if that's everyone??? I am really sorry if I've forgotten anyone but I didnt check through everyone's blogs. I'll wait a bit before I draw the winner in case I have left anyone out!!!

I have managed a bookatrix card using the template from saveapenny i am so happy as I didnt know what to do for my niece's holy communion. The trimming around the edges is not very good but i didnt notice untill it was too late.

Wow mumhug, your bookatrix card is fabulous, well done. Did it take a long time to make and was it difficult? Looks like it took an age and was very fiddly

princesspoppypop - I love all the cards you've posted recently, you're so clever and have such an eye for colours and detail.

Oops, just realised that the cards on my blog that I said were made using Daisy D's paper were actually made with Daisy Bucket papers, sorry!

princesspoppypop where did you get the template for the doggy?? He is just so adorable

Loving all the cards i've seen on here, still in a lot of pain so still not up to staying on to long, but I promise to catch up with people's blogs ASAP. Miss catching up with everyone's excellent cards :0(

Good morning, everyone. I was having surf about (as of course, I am extremely busy doing the accounts) and I found this site that has some freebie templates for cardmaking.

The post is here and I've just had delivered some die cut decoupage (cut too many heads off in the past!) of some art deco ladies, I've got a few birthdays this month.

Some lovely free downloads

Does anyone know of any cardmaking swaps?
I'm feeling really low and joining a swap would give me a goal...and an excuse to make some more cards!

I'm in a card exchange with friends in the US, I love getting mail from the States and its the same for them. It's also an excuse for me to keep in touch with long time friends as they go on my list as well. I wouldn't mind taking part in a monthly swap, npsmama. The themes are endless

Thanks for the link to the freebies

I'd love to do a US swap - it's a good chance to see what's on the other side of the pond. Do you do it via a website and if so which one pls?

I'd also be up for a monthly swap more locally.
