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

flourgirl - I must admit, I cheated with the bow.
I used two pieces of ribbon: 1 piece folded into 2 bows (stuck with DST), then another wrapped tightly around the centre to look like a bow (again with DST). I just couldn't tie a decent bow this morning, and couldn't be bothered to go downstairs for a fork.

Hi everyone!

I used to read the original cardmaking thread but then lost track of it. I discovered this new one about a week ago & have eventually caught up on what all you talented ladies have been up to!

I've thought about joining the forum for a while & I've eventually got the guts up to do it as you all seem so lovely! This is my very first post ever!!

I've been making cards for a while but i am no expert! My Mam got me into it & we're always looking for inspiration & I've got plenty from here....thanks! I must admit though that I am much better at shopping for the things to make the cards than actually making them. lol

Hope you don't mind me joining in!

I brought a corner punch very similar to this in hobbycraft on sat and they were reduced to £2.59 if that helps anyone.

Thanks for the info mumhug - unfortunately the nearest hobbycraft to me is a 35 mile round trip :eek:. How I wished I lived closer, i'd be in their all the time!

Yes it is possible - here is a link to how it is done, but if you do a search on google, you may find others.

I've tried it and it does work, but found it a bit trickey as i'm left handed.
