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

flourgirl

Yes Sal we had a lovely break thank-you. Mind you I'm ready for off again after today! Went to Doncaster to market then asda then called at garden centre. After lunch we spent all afternoon in the garden, so I feel shattered. Caravan is nearly ready for the off in 3 weeks, this time York for a week. There is a Paper Mill Shop just outside York so I can stock up with stuff while we are away.

Ive [yet another] question.
If i want to make a card which opens at the top rather than a side fold. Whats the biggest i can make the card 6X6. Ay way i can make a bigger card, other than buy A3 sheets?

Hi Dragonlew,

Great ccc challenge card - left a comment on your blog. Can you answer a question for me about blogs as I have only set mine up this week, and don't really know how it all works.

I've clicked on your full profile and seen all the blogs that you are following. How do you get this list up to show you who you are following. I thought that I had followed about 11 today, but when I click on my full profile it just says that I am not following any even though I have clicked 'follow' and entered my details to follow 11 today - hope that makes sense. Grateful if you could let me know how you get the blogs to show up that you are following.

Thanks

Meant to say qwicksave, very many thanks for putting a link up to poppicraft website the other day - I ordered the random flowers and a couple of other bits and am really impressed with them. Very quick delivery too.

Kim you could use 12x12 scrapbook card it will be more expensive though probably 60p per sheet then the envelope. I know you can buy packs of cards and envelopes in the larger sizes, I am sure someone will be along to advise you, and tell you where to get them from.

Ok I think and I am by no means an expert if you click on you full profile you should have an edit profile button click on that and at the bottom is a button to turn on show site I follow hth.

Not sure what you mean but you can make an A4 card from 2 sheets of A4 and join them with a spine from an offcut either on the inside or outside a bit like a book binding - not sure that makes sense but I know what I mean
