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

mumhug

I am sorry I have been told by hubby it is alot of effort to ask of people to do all that to look at the album. Unfortunatly there are at least 3 pics on each page so its not worth covering up all pics with paper (although thanks for the suggestions) . Never mind will have to post pics of the next one.

Firstly, thankyou for all your lovely comments about my cards :A

Rainmac What lovely pocket cards, you are so clever. The post it note holders look great too. Well done on doing the run yesterday. :T

Mumhug Hope you are feeling better now. I like your card for the MSE challenge

Craftygranny Hope you are feeling better too

Rusty Hope you & your family are ok & that you enjoyed your day at the beach. I thought the idea of the balloons was so lovely.

Rinroo Welcome. :hello: When my Mam & I first started making cards, we found it really useful to watch the papercraft show on QVC to get ideas. It's usually on, on a Tuesday from 2 until 4pm. We've never actually bought anything from QVC as it can be quite expensive. We record it so we can spin through the parts we don't want to watch & pause the bits that we do while we jot down ideas. I look forward to seeing some of your cards

KimPossible What a great male card, was it difficult to make? I like the CCC card on your blog & absolutely love your apron card, it is so pretty!

MrsTidge Welcome :hello: Looking forward to seeing some of your cards

Popkins I like your shopping card. My Mam saw it & said it would be the perfect card to send to me - she's right, i'm a shopaholic!

LucyLu What a fab cupcake card, it looks yummy!

Flourgirl Great apron card & male card. I like your idea to have a sketch challenge next

Louby-lou-lou What a good Fathers Day card. I totally agree with you about Lakeland, it's such a shame they stopped selling the craft things

Quicksave What a clever idea using a cd case, it looks fab!

Furrypig - Great football card. I think I might do a Newcastle one for my bf for his birthday next month.

Hope I haven't missed anyone off, I had so many posts to catch up on!

Popkins just read your last post, hope you have a fab time in Spain!

WOW qwiksave thats a very goth looking card Well done :T

Furrypig love your thanks card, the brad in the middle of the "a" is so simple but extremely effective. I like sticking letters on at a quirky angle, it looks more interesing than straight. Brilliant :T Also your football card is fantastic, the decoupage is perfect :T can't believe you have never done it before. Could you put the link up for the papers please or PM it to me, pretty please:D


Mumhug Your football crazy card is fab, the player looks a right cheeky chappie :T

I didn't use a template for the apron card I just used an A5 card and rounded the corners in by drawing round the roll of DST. Bit of trial and error really. The pocket is made from a 3" scalloped circle (thank you Rainmac) cut in half.

Popkins I'm so sorry I missed your card out.:o It's lovely :T:T I know a few people who would love that card and I love anything pink, so perfect Have a fabulous time in Spain.

Qwiksave - clever you. I had a go at calligraphy many years ago and enjoyed it. Dont think I could do it now though - I did try some years back and made a mess of something -sort of put me off.

rainmac - how do you do post-it note holders ? I'd love to have a go if they're not too hard

popkins -have a lovely holiday

mumhug - I look forward to seeing some piccys of your next scrapbook

Just popping in to say..

Sorry I haven't had chance to go through posts on here for a few days. I've just caught up with all the blogs I follow, and have posted my male challenge card on mine. I'm not very happy with it but haven't had chance to do my other cards yet

mumhug
