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

rainmac

Jailhouse - many congratulations on selling 3 cards!!! I've asked my OH today if he would take a small box of cards into his office and he said he would. There are only about 20 people in the company so it won't make me a millionaire but may be worth a go? I handed over my baby card order yesterday and received a crsip tenner for them today. She said they were lovely so I'll stop worrying now!

Mel your cards are gorgeous!
Jailhouse well done on selling your cards! Thats fantastic!
Rainmac Your cards will sell no problem, I've been tempted to do the same where I work There is around 100 people on my floor so I was thinking of leaving a box...
Craftygranny my son is forever making cards with me, he would love to have someone to send them to, he's only 3! he will be chuffed to bits! PM me your details. How did you make your folders they are fab I could do with one of those!

Can I ask what are you all using to colour in your images? I've been using my DS's pencils!

Just to say I bought the x-cut impress a few weeks a similar type deal to the one Dawnteabag has posted, I love it!

Oooohhhh where did you order the new goody bag from??? Saw it in the mag and I may treat myself x

I ordered it from here. Postage is a bit steep but the prices seem a bit lower than rrp, so I figure it'll even out

What goodybag is this?? I am nosey you see!

JHB I think it may just be you being paranoid (without sounding rude to you!) but I think the pram card would be perfect as you do them so well! Well done on your sales of your cards, think what new things you could buy with your bug with that money

Rainmac glad she liked the cards seems you were worrying about nothing. I need to send you a PM I will try and do it tonight ... having a quick break from nappy cake making before starting with the cello!!

I wish I could take cards into work, or even find somewhere to sell some of my more recent ones! OH says I should make baby cards and put them on the website, nice idea except I am still waiting on him to finish it :rolleyes:

Melissa love the new additions on your blog! they are fab!!!

Craftygranny I like them little folders, how did you make them?

Louby fab rock fairy! so different! great card!

Well I have made no cards today I really wanted to but I am so tired tonight and still have to cello up a nappy cake to drop off in Durham before I go to BunBuns, I guess my new stamps will have to wait and be used tomorrow!!

Did anyone order that sugar nellie goodybag? think it was from funkykits? I had an email saying it had been dispatched but nothing has arrived?? yet my order from sirstampalot was ordered yesterday and here today!
