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

mookybargirl

I'm in Houghton. I love the tunnel. OH thinks I'm mental! :rotfl:
I spend a fortune every time I go to Boundary Mill so have to limit myself
I've made my green card tonight, it's not very good but I'll pop it up [STRIKE]tomorrow[/STRIKE]. I figure I can only get better

Edited - here's my card

Hi Dragonllew thanks for looking for me if you wouldn't mind sharing the template for the bottle with me I might be able to put the decoupage together with it. what do you think?

I am sure it is lovely Mookey I am very new to this, all my cards were rubbish and it is only in the last few days I have actually liked any of the cards I have made

Not sure where houghton is although I have heard of it


Thankyou mumhug, I just wanted to give it a try, I wanted to put a scallop circle on but it didn't work so left it off and had to come up with something else

I just ordered cupcake papers. .. but the glitterpot has a £5 min order so had to order something else I ordered this

but didn't read it like a silly plum so its not a wooden one like I thought it was ... what do I now need to buy to stamp with it? is it the clear blocks that jailhouse was talking about earlier? help please (sorry )

Hi! Rusty, love your green cards, epecially the zoo one.

'Fraid so, its a clear block and probably a glue stick to hold it on to the acrylic block, once you've got your block and an ink pad you'll be away.

I have done my green challenge card have popped it on my blog.

Hi
Rusty yes you will need a acrylic block although I have heard of people using a cd case(never tried it myself)
P.S Your images are ready to go and will post in morning, not had a chance to get to P.O before now

Rusty - you're supposed to be a local
It's the bit off the A690 between Durham and Sunderland

I've added my card further up the page (runs away and hides)

Fabulous cards Rusty, I love the zoo one:) I wish I had ordered more Basic Grey when they were first on offer. I have just got another order from Glitter Pot today I got the Cupcake and Boxer 6x6.

Gorgeous card Mookybargirl. Well done:)
