rainmac

Fab cards Lucy and great challenge card, thanks for taking part :T

Sally, brilliant cards. I love the b&w baby card, so very different and so cute Also love your beautiful sympathy card, it's stunning

Thomas, yet another fantatsic card, your teacher is going to LOVE it :j :j :j:D. Please post them Rusty, it's fab to see what a young one can do and to be honest, we can then nick Thomas' fab ideas

This is my Father's Day card entry for the challenge...



I made the card using a fantastically easy to follow demo on YouTube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDfbyHXKvY. I used Bazzill cardstock and Secret Garden papers from the lovely Paddington It's for my dad. I have 2 more dad's day cards to make but hope to enlist the help of my two monsters to make their dad's one.

This is my entry for the CCC Shape It challenge this week...



Used the same card base as for my Father's Day card. This card is for my son's friend's birthday.

These are on my blog along with another card (same shape ) and two little things I've made and hope to make more to give and to sell, please have a look, all comments welcome... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/

Fantastic cards everyone - I've been a bit bad about updating stuff and posting.
Thomas really needs a craft box (or 2).

Thank you for my blog award I'll post it up later.
That paper looks familiar rainmac

Wow Rainmac, those are amazing cards, never seen cards that shaped before. :T

My Cuttlebug has come!! :j:j:j

Just had my first play!


(These dies came with the machine)
Guess a lot of my cards will have the cuttlebug treatment now!

rainmac

Looking forward to finding out what you do with your fabrics x

Be prepared to spend lots of pennies qwiksave - you'll get the bug :rotfl:(sorry) and need to buy loads of dies.

Keep an eye on the sizzix site as they often have dies at really cheap prices and they're compatible although I have to run the sizzlits through twice to get them to cut sometimes

Rainmac Gorgeous cards and gifts on your blog I love the diamond cards.:T:T You can do these on the ultimate pro but I can never get them to stand up I think you must have been looking at the same You tube as me I fancied having a go at the post it booklet and there is a tic tac one too have you seen that?

Quiksave :T:TLove those stamps, you lucky thing having a cuttlebug. Looking forward to seeing how you use them on your cards.

Look what the postie brought me this morning it's from the lovely Emma, Thank-you Emma for the goodies:T:D What a lovely card, think I will be pinching that idea if you don't mind;)



This is my mantelpiece at the moment, I'm getting a fab collection of cards from you lovely people, I really appreciate them. Thank-you to Rusty, Emma, Rainmac and my lovely friend Lesley :A

rainmac - I get the feeling that a lot of people will be having fabric covered notebooks this Christmas (thats with the larger samples) the rest I think will end up as cards..............lol
