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

Im a winter baby too (November) I agree its a great idea so long as you dont have to add another year to your age each time:eek: I still think I'm 18 until I look in the mirror :eek: mmm maybe I just need new mirrors :rotfl:nah I'm only kidding myself

Hello, yes that is my card , weird how you recognise my cards but you haven't met me in the flesh (with the exception of Mel)!!! Well, I think it's weird

Flourgirl, wow what a stunning garden . I'll be round to grab some of your apples for more crumble We only have a weeny patch by comparison and that is full of kids toys and a shed (the cat's den when we are out!). I've snatched some of it for me and have tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries and potatoes growing. The snails ate my carrots and beans, little xxxx :mad:

Mel, I spent at Sarah's Cards but not your fault as I did that earlier in the day - as soon as I saw the email to be honest. I bought some of the new plastic dots, flowers, papers in the sale and some paper butterflies - wasn't sure if I'd like these so only bought one pack. I found a fab online shop yesterday with loads of stamps - http://www.diestodiefor.com/index.php

Gorgeous cards Kim, my fave is the pink one too :T

Happy belated birthday to Gemm. Gemm, my brother lives between Bath and Bristol but I have never visited Bath, would love to go. All we've done is driven through the middle when we got lost once, it was beautiful.

Happy birthday The Wife - do you get two lots of pressies too??? :rotfl:

Dawnteabag, I think a young persons' challenge on CP is a brilliant idea.

Have a great day everyone

I'm November too and not til the end. As a kiddie I often got joint birthday/Christmas presents from people. I hated it because I got less Christmas presents than my brother :rolleyes:

rainmac, are you going to post your magazine card on your blog, I don't go shopping that often (Mr T. delivers!) and I would hate to have missed it. I just popped over and had a lookee. Is there a link to the magazine anywhere?

I think I might be right in thinking you do the occasional craft shopping, rainmac :rotfl: have you seen any die cut sites, not so much the sizzix types but pre cut chipboard flourishes. I bought some ages ago and for the life of me I can't remember where.

Oh! I'm crafty! I am 39 FOREVER!

I haven't seen chipboard flourishes but I will look out, Mel is the lady who can find everything for the best ever price

This is the card in the magazine

Rainmac did you forget Furrypig, Sylpharaven and myself :eek:

What a gorgeous card it was too! Congratulations too, I hope you're chuffed to bits with yourself, :j 'cos it's brilliant.

I think the place I bought them from cut the chipboard shapes them selves as I got 10 for about £1.50 which is much cheaper than the pre packaged ones like Maya Road and Bazzill.
