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

MrsTidge

Evening ladies - boy this forum sure moves fast!
I've had a manic couple of days and was out last night for a colleague's leaving do so have felt a bit delicate today. Too tired for personals, suffice to sayt here have been some absolutely beautiful cards posted as usual!

I actualy managed to pass a couple of pieces of card through my cuttlebug today-I am so impressed with the quality of it all - I am in love!

Could do with an early night but unfortunately it sounds as if the teenagers next door are having a MIchael Jackson tribute night - and the parents are away so who knows when they will quieten down.

Need to make a card for a 3 yr old boy for tomorrow - think I'll do a spaceman one but will try and squeeze it in tomorrow -can hardly kep my eyes open and it's not even 9 o'clock. I wish just once my 3 yr old would sleep later than about 5.15am!:sad:

Anyway - fab weekends everyone xx

Can I come too please, I am south of you Choccy but have a car, lets book ourselves in somewhere swanky for a fortnight and craft till our hearts content. Yeah right :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Hehe does anyone live near me? I live near Catterick Garrison/ The Oop North Richmond hehe

Fingers crossed, though, I'll be in Manchester on Thursday night due to a comp win... when I entered I had expected my mum to look after the kids if I won (which I was sure was very remote possibility!) but she's been in hospital ... but I really really want to go wah.... I have emailed to ask whether I can take my 11 year old son instead.. Never been to manchester before it looks huge on the map.. I'm scared :rotfl:

Even got myself my box maker thing out for the first time and made some boxes hoping the crafting would calm me down..which it did. I'm impressed with the boxes too :rotfl: so there's nice

Going to quit waffling and go to bed I think hehe

:j

nighty night xx

Rainmac- i used the card i filled a box of in my local craft shop, but like flourgirl i did buy 250g card that would go through printer and also stamp on that. Have you looked at your technique, the lady in my local shop said about moisture on the stamp ie "huff" [exhale]on it, dab the ink and re moisture ie "huff" on it again then stamp, by rubbing your finger and thumb [of other hand] all over to stamp .

Saveapenny- i went to Norway last year and it was v cold too also thought it was v expensive for food and general necessities!

EmOC and Flourgirl- ive printed and assembled a card from ur pink petticoat papers [courtsey of the v high tech/ v high quality work printer]- ill post it later- thanks again.

Sorry ive probably left lots ppl out but my memorys bad tonite but i thought all cards today were great and threads move v fast today

Thanks Kim :A I think my main problem is trying to rush and stamp too quickly to be able to move onto the colouring in
