Thanks Mary - I did get in a mess trying to get it right and had about 10 attempts before I was happy with it. Funnily enough the trousers took me about a minute to do, but the shirt 3 hours!

I enjoyed doing it, but am not sure thatI have patience to do them very often.

Wow what a talented lot your cards are just fantastic, I have just started making some ,i got card blanks and envelopes from ebay, but i am just using bits from old cards an scraps i have in my sewing box i notice some of you use punch out and special cutters what would be the best type to buy for a beginner maybe ones that could be used lots of times , Thanks in advance for any advice

minimacka - love your cards. Can I ask how the lettering is done on the punk band one?

I downloaded the images from charmed cards and crafts and imported them into word and just made the image. The Happy birthday is from a rubon that I had.

loveley card Jailhousebabe - thats a posh background you've used to take the photo. I just photo mine on the windowsill LoL :rotfl:

CT19720 - the shirt and trousers look great! you must have a lot of patience getting the folds in just the right places, love the paper you've used on the shirt, makes it look like real material

I've been busy today making an A5 card (have only done A6 and small square cards previously) as a request, lots of people need to sign it so it needed to be bigger, just hope it's big enough! was the largest I could do with what card I already had, they will just have to write smaller if space becomes limited
