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

Lucy_Lu_4

Thank you Emma.

How does it work? The next theme is Father's Day and male themed cards isn't it? So do I post a picture on here matching the theme and say that it's my entry? Is there a deadline?

Thanking you,

Lucy

Hi Rusty

I have found the craft caddy on the Wilko's website - it is currently showing as sold out though.

I do not know how old Thomas is but this is exactly the same as the one I bought my son at Xmas.

Hi Lucy

That is exactly how it works, I hope I am right in thinking that the challenges run for two weeks and it started yesterday.

I have to log off now as my youngest is screaming the lounge down :eek:

Hi Popkins,

Welcome to the thread – look forward to seeing your creations.

Have you thought of doing a 'wordle' football card, which i've done a few of and they have gone done very well. Basically you type out the surnames of all the players in a specific team, and also add the surname of the person you are doing it for on the create page of the Wordle package (http://www.wordle.net/). The more times you type the surname the bigger it gets - choose your colours and away you go. These are 3 that I have done in the past - 2 football ones (a Chelsea one for my Son, and a Crystal Palace one for his friend) and one based on my uncles hobby of barn dancing:






These are very cheap cards to make as you only need to print out the text and stick it on a blank card.

If you want inspiration for cards you can always look on blogs that people list as that is where I ofter get my ideas from when I get stuck with a particular card - mine is http://ct19720.blogspot.com/, and if you want to get ideas for girly card these are the ones that I have made in the past to http://s490.photobucket.com/albums/rr261/CT19720/?start=all


Hope this is useful.

Ooooh thank you ever so!! Loving the wordle idea & giving it a go at the moment - will keep you posted how it goes - at the mo just having some problems getting it so that it doesn't print A4 size!!! :T
