HI, I would like to attempt to make a simple yet effective hand made card for a 1 yr old girl and suggestions on what i could do? I thought I could spell her name out using cut out letters but this might me tricky

There are these

Hi all again,

Poppy, I love those cards

Marg - Hi thanks for the welcome, I've been on here before some time ago (I think lol)

Glue and syringes - I didn't have any trouble using the silicone without any syringes even with tiny bits of paper, but I suppose it takes a bit of experimenting to see if you get on with it or not. I'm dreadful with different sorts of glue, but found this one easy.

Actually I've got a card dilemma of my own. A friends birthday and she's very into all things spiritual, historical, Grail, Tarot cards etc.

Ideas I had -
1. cross stitch card but I have a habit of sticking the wrong parts of the aperture and messing it up if I feel under pressure.
2. Using images like tarot cards and using them for collaging a card.

But don't really fancy doing any of these, so any more ideas please?

I have a egyptian theme decoupage set if your interested PM me your email and I will send it you

Flourgirl, its just Papermill white card but I like this one as it has a sort of linen effect, not sure about the 'happy birthday' but I do like those freebie papers.

g.nite, everyone, sweet dreams and whoo-hoo my furniture comes tomorrow.
