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

Morning all!
I got a wonderful stash from Hels - thank you so much for your generosity! I made three cards with the stash and have posted them on my blog: http://justbecauseitmakesmesmile.blogspot.com/

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy just one Whispers Strokes pen? I just want the skin tome one from the pastel set as if I use the yellow one in the Basic set Tilda looks like she's got jaundice!

I've only seen the pens in packs of 12, but Artymiss have the pack for £8.99 at the mo if thats any help ?

I am really desperate for some different ideas for a ruby wedding card. I want it to be a shaped card of some sort. What about a champagne bottle? What do you lot think to arty farty templates? a lot of people i know don't like them i can't make my mind up if i should try and do a cake.

Just set up a facebook group for my cards with a link to my nappy cakes on there

I love your pocket card, rainmac, for the CCC challenge, I've made these for Chritmas cards using up Christmas papers. Had a look at the ones on your blog, that's a great idea with the tea bag and the pink one is gorgeous.

I used some A4 co-ordinating colour papers from Pink Petticoat designs and it worked out cheaper than using a page of scrapbook paper, especially if the ones you have are single sided.

rainmac, please can you help? My blog is coming along but a quick question, do you link your photo's on your blog say from 'photobucket' where most of my card photo's are stored ?

No, loading them straight onto Blogger from my camera is far quicker. If you go to New Post and then there is a little icon you can click on for adding a picture, click browse and find your image you want to load.

Does that make sense?

You can of course load them from Photobucket if that's what you want to do!

Louby-lou-lou, don't know much about 'arty farty' templates as I am not keen on loads of cutting out. I've seen them on create and craft tv and thought NO, not for me!
For some inspiration have a look at the gallery on www.splitcoaststampers.com they have some gorgeous ideas. I searched for 'ruby wedding anniversary' and came up with quite a few pages.

Just had to put this link in as the poem is beautiful.
