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

mookybargirl

Oh, I'm so excited :j
My poppicrafts just arrived to work. I ordered the same flowers and ribbons as flourgirl, and I also added the mixed flower shaped buttons. It all looks great and really good value. :j

All your cards are absolutely brilliant and really professional (so much for beginners)! I thoroughly enjoyed making my exploding box card so have decided to handmake all my cards from now on and thanks to whoever posted the link to madaboutcards I am now considerally poorer Where do you find the gorjuss girls images?

furrypig - Not sure if you know this, but you can contact Clubcard and explain you won't use them before the expiry date, and they'll re-credit them back to your account as points and will come on your next lot of vouchers, so you'll have more time to use them up.

Rusty and all - What are those red round things on your card? I've seen them on a dinosaur card and someone's green and blue card, but not sure what they are or where to get them.

Mookybargirl Glad you like your stuff from Poppicrafts, it really is good quality stuff. I think it was Rainmac that posted the original link some time ago.

The red things on Rusty's card are card candy from http://www.craftworkcards.co.uk/embellishments_list.asp?type=emb&embellishment=156

£1 per pack + £1.95 p&p, you just stick them on with tiny foam pads

Melissa - I placed my order on Tuesday and have had an email to say it will be delivered today before 3pm. I can't wait.
she-grinch - you've cheered me up. Isn't he gorgeous?!

I can't believe I still feel so carp. The doctor seemed to think it was a 4 day virus and I'd be back to normal by Wednesday. Saturday's exam is now looking doubtful.

Rusty - heard anything from OH yet? You must be on tenterhooks.

Rainmac - can you let us know what you have to do with the ticket from Tescos you receive to go to the Hobbycraft show in November please - i'd be interested in going too, and as it happens I have some vouchers to use up buy the end of July. Would anyone else be going and travelling up from London?? QUOTE]

All you need to do is go to here and buy a ticket for the show with £2.50 of Clubcard vouchers (the ones that come through the post). Furrypig said you can use the ticket for any of the days the show is on so we can decide when we can all go nearer the date. When we went before Furry travelled up from Surrey, my geography is rubbish but think she came via London.

Thanks very much for the link Rainmac, I'll check with OH that he doesn't mind having the kids for a day. I'm in Surrey too, just a different end from Furry, so pretty sure she would have come via London.xx

JHB that doesn't sound good keep your chin up, really hope you get well soon xx

I heard from oh just after 12pm ... he was in there an hour and a half :eek: there was 3 of them and they said yes in all the right places and no no's ... he said because there was 3 of them he couldn't read all of their notepads :rotfl: cheeky monkey! was only a quick call as he needs to get back on the road to come home before rush hour! will speak to him properly later on but he said it seems to go well but like all of the others there is other people to interview.

Good news is he has another interview on Monday ... this time in Hedon so sunday night I shall be home alone as he is going to stay at my aunties over night for his 8:30am interview
