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

craftygranny

Well i got all my ready swaps ready and gave them to my son to post yesterday when he came . I also made 3 image wallets pics on the blog and the lovely goodies i received from cazarol , the card from choccy, and my fat page / atc from paddington.

I have a strange request my grandaughter kaitlyn is nearly 4 and loves to craft and when the postie brings my cards she says they are hers and tries to steal them. Does anyone have a crafty youngster who would make her a card and she will send them one in return. My poor postie will be grateful she railroads him every morning to see if he has anything for her. lol Hope i haven't offended anyone by asking .

furrypig I did a Kanban kit card for my OH of a Harley and thought I'd see if they did sports cars, not sure if there's an Aston Martin on this sheet though, a bit out of my league!!

Gemma, if you check out the link for the Kan-ban card above and have a look at the sellers other items, she has a lot of dies and I bought from her before.

I received the latest copy of the DoCrafts magazine from The Glitter Pot today, it's great (lots of ideas for altering containers ). Bit too much about Xmas in there for my liking though, I have no intention to start thinking about Xmas cards til at least the end of August

I have to confess I have just ordered the new goody bag and a few other bits from the new collection, I probably won't do anything with it until after august though (well I am 40 next week so I 'need' a treat :rotfl: lol)

ok another plea from me!!

Nephew has his bday age 14 beg July and he is James Bond mad!

Any ideas for a card that I can make??? Thought that might be a tricky one for you all!!!

Also I am away from tomorrow morning until Friday night at a conference in Birmingham so will miss all your chatter and tips but will catch up on Friday!! I hope!

Hey Furry, you could use a martini glass? put the words shaken not stirred on it, then you could cut out a picture of bond and mount it on some more card so it looks framed? any good?

See you when you get back
