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

louby-lou-lou

I didn't get chance to come on yesterday as i had hospital apts and grans bday card to finish. She is 80 today! But i recieved a get well card for my son from flourgirl and it was gorgous. He loved opening it up. He said is it my birthday day bless him. So thank you for bringing a smile to both our faces. Hubby came home and said wow i love that card have you made it? He couldn't get over how a complete stranger could be so kind and thoughtful.

I wasn't tempted to do a pocket card as i already do something like it. It's an envelope card that i do but after getting this one and seeing it for real i have got to have a go. It is lovely. Thanks again. Can i just cheat and use a tri-fold card and cut off the top corners?

Mumhug sorry to hear you have caught swine flu off your littly, wishing you both a speedy recovery. Try and relax as much as you can.Why are you in a high risk group? Are you all in quarantine?

Just a quicky from me as I am mega busy and OH is coming home late tonight as I am in court tomorrow hopefully this will be the last time ... Rainmac you may well need to order that quick drying cement still though!
My flesh tones promarkers arrived this morning ... how cool are they ... I am trying to figure out how they can dry without showing pen lines?? I reckon they were worth every penny! I can't buy anymore as last night I bought another couple of packs :eek: and OH doesn't know yet!!!

Padingtondoo. I love your cards. The image of the teddies is soooo cute. I see a card i recognise on there

Strange that :rotfl:. OH likes to see my stuff go out the house and I've just about made enough cards for this year's birthdays .

Hugs to anyone who needs them especially the swine flu sufferers - hopefully everyone will be fighting fit shortly (even me!) Shoulder is still sore but doesn't seem to be getting any better or worse so will just have to live with it for now - will have shares in ibuprofen soon .

Off to craft carefully :rotfl:

I confessed to OH about my promarkers ... or at least one pack ... he was fine with it ... I just need to hope the others arrive when he is away next week, although I suspect they will arrive Fri/sat

Yay!!! I haven't made my pocket card yet, hopefully will tonight Well done on winning the download, I'd pick the biggest too

Mel, so do you think it could be tomorrow then? I trust we will be some of the first to know when the big event has happened

Rusty, best of luck tomorrow. Tesco has a couple of B&J's flavours at £1.99

Mumhug, poor you x Get lots of rest, so glad to hear your little one is jumping around again. I am keeping everything crossed for my son not picking up the flu at school and bringing it home.

Sorry I know I've missed people off but I need to dash
