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

ELLA

Fluffybishop - Where did you get the little paper, briefcase and tie from they are fab.
I'm wanting to get into making cards but have no clue where the most mse way is for getting the toppers and other bits to create a nice looking card??????????

Loving everyone's cards and tips thank you all so much!!

Fluffybishop, I just wanted to ask where you got the chocolate 'bits' from for the choccie card?? I'm planning on doing another choccie hamper for a christmas or birthday present and thought these would go perfectly if I made a tag or card to go with it.
Thanks

I got the little newspaper from a dolls house accessories shop and they are redily available from dolls house supliers
The tie came in a pack of 3 in a closing down sale of a craft shop last year - so not much help there
The little brief case was made by someone selling on Ebay and is made from leather effect card. Don't think she sells on there now, but Ebay is a good place for card making stuff

The chocolate background paper was also from a shop no longer open, but you may be able to find it if you do a search. It was an A4 size sheet

The 'chocolate is not just for breakfast' is a rubber stamp - have to check out the maker!

The other choccie text was from a book of sayings I was given as a present

Not a lot of help, but a Google search might bring them up

Fuffybishop - Great cards I'm really loving the one with playing cards it is really effective.

Mary and Polly - lovely cards and a really nice thought.

ZLS - Great card it gave me a giggle. Really well thought out.

Welcome all new crafters. Looking forward to seeing all your creations.

ZLS - love the card, I'm not brave enough to even attempt to draw. My handwriting looks bad enough on them as it is!

I've done my male card for the challenge, but it's not photoing (?is that a word?) very well in this light, so I'll add it tomorrow.

I (finally) received my order from artymiss this morning - they included a nice set of 3D butterfly stickers as an apology for the delay, which I thought was quite nice. Looking through, everything I've ordered is either really girly or for babies. Don't know what I'll do for my 4 brothers, 7 nephews, and friend's 2 boys birthdays :rolleyes:

Hi emma, when I copy I just highlight the text in the IMG box (that's when it goes blue), either right-click and select 'copy' or Ctrl and C together. It doesn't tell me anywhere that they're copied but they are. Then in your text box on here, either right-click and select 'paste' or Ctrl and V together.
