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

saveapenny

Marg...the wording on most of them is done in Publisher I dont at the minute have somethign like paintshoppro to do the monograms so I played about with publisher and it seems to work ok for now
On 1 of tehm that just says invitation that is a stamp
Some are printed directly onto the card via a card making program I have and some are printed onto a sheet through publisher with a boarder around them then matted onto card and foam pads to give them a bit of depth
A couple are just peel offs and coloured using peel off pens
I think I have covered all of them ...if there is one yu mean that I have missed link to it and I will cover that one as well

Thank you for your help minimacka its great to get feedback
and thanks everyone for your nice comments we all second guess ourselves when making cards and never sure they are good enough
I have fiished the final 2 now...just plain printed ones in brighter pastle colours which seem to be the in thing this year ( thanks minimack again)
I have done cut outs for the inside to show all the colours as well

This is a card I made a while ago, it was very easy to make but looked quite effective when I had finished.

ZLS1984 - I have found this tutorial for the book I made if you scroll down on this page you will see she has make a youtube video of how to make it, so if my instructions are rubbish at least you can have a look and see for yourself. There are also some really usefull tutorials on her blog, how to make butterflies out of flowers and lots of other things.

They sell them on lots of the craft websites but P & P may be a bit steep if that's all you're ordering.

i have been told by pinkladymel that they can be bought in poundland but I don't have one near me! I also want to buy some self adhesive gems so do let me know how you get on!!

I've never seen any sparkly gems in my pound shop - I will make a determined effort to look on Friday - you can never have too many sparkly bits (or paper )
