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

Morning Ladies

Hamish Congratulations on your ppi claim :j

Marg I like both your cards but I really like your challenge card & the insert looks lovely. The one you received from Gemma is very nice too, bet you were pleased with it

Flourgirl I didn't know how much to charge my Mams friend for the wedding card that I made for her, I originally said £1.50 but my friend said that was too cheap & that she would give me at least £2.00! So I'd say £2.00 was a good starting mark

Rusty Hope you are having lots of fun playing with your Cuttlebug, they are fab aren't they!

Gemma Fab card, I've left a comment on your blog

Melissa Love the nappy cake, well done! I like the cards aswell, you've been busy haven't you. I especially like your summer challenge card. I've left comments on your blog

Bunbun Great cards, I think I like the one with the guitar the best

Choccy Hope your leg is ok today & the physio doesn't manage to make it fall off today!

Saveapenny That's great news about your cruise! :j

Emma I've left a comment on your blog about your anniversary card. It's really nice

Dragonllew Hope your hand gets better soon

I'm off up to my Mams today to make some cards, I didn't get the chance yesterday as I had to go to the dentist. I had to have a filling so I had a sore mouth aswell as a sore shoulder! I am feeling so much better today though & I'm in a real crafty mood! My Mam says we have an envelope from Lili of the Valley aswell so I'm looking forward to seeing the goodies that I bought too.
Hope you all have a great day, I'll catch up with you all later & hopefully have some cards to show you. x

Rusty - you will need a ?brown? slightly jelly like mat when you use your scalloped circles with the bug.

Emma - Love your anniversary card

Dragonllew - Hope your hand is better soon - What did you do to it?

Must dash - work calls..........doh!

Oooh I didn't know that? what are they called? do you know where I can get one from? sorry for all of the questions I am a complete novice!!


I have just finished uploading the pics from the farm we went to with the kids there are some brilliant ones

Dragonflew - me and the OH are going to see the wrestling in November at the echo Arena. I can't wait - I have never been before. I've already booked the babysitter (Nanny), looking forward to seeing John Cena!!!
Rusty - thanks - I couldn't get the attachment to work on your email - my computer's a bit stupid!! I got a few tips from looking at your pics and having a quick browse of the nappy cake thread. I wanted to make a three tier one but because the teddy was so huge I decided to do two tiers instead. I really enjoyed making it - I can see how it gets addictive! The papers are basic grey on the gorjuss card - I can't remember what range - I'll have a check and see.
EmmaOC - thanks - it was OH's suggestion to put the nappy on the teddy, after I put the hat on him. Normally he has no interest at all in my crafting - but when I was making the cake he was really enthusiastic.

Fifi folle - my lili of the valley stuff came yesterday. I'm having a bit of trouble with the stamps - but I think that's because I need a bigger acrylic block - I've ordered one and I'm just waiting for it to be delivered. I've already made a card with my rocking horse stamp - it was really nice to colour in. What did you get from there?

The tendons are pulling my middle finger bent it causes pain down my finger and across the back of my hand and up into my wrist. I have splints to wear on it but have somehow managed to lose the one that is comfortable so have to go back to hospital to get another one made on tuesday.
Melissa lucky you going to see wwe my son would love that we are going to see TNA as it is coming to Bournemouth so no travelling :j

Oh no! I am sorry you should have said and I would have copied and pasted it or something!

I have posted up pics of the christening cakes I made for the 3 girls, nade 2 x towel cakes and 1 x nappy cake, they are over on the nappy cake thread if you want a nosey

Dragonflew - I watch TNA now and then, but I prefer WWE. I wanted to go and see them in April but I thought I might get too excited and that it would be too much in my condition.
Rusty - I'm having a few problems opening stuff at the minute. I bought a digital image the other day and I can't open that either. I'm off to look at your fab cakes!

Rusty - fabulous cakes - you are so clever!! I love the little cupcake that you made - what's inside it, is it a flannel??
