Popkins - I can't see anything wrong with either bow? They both look pretty perfect to me. I think I prefer the longer one, but would probably trim a little off the ends x

Are the TSV's usually available on the QVC website as soon as they're shown on TV? If anyone's a member of Quidco, you can get 5% cashback on your spend if you go through them - I did when I bought my crop-a-dile.

HTH someone x

Hi everyone - sorry been AWOL again!!! Not been feeling well at all - sore throat & headachey over the weekend which coupled with my Fibro pain and flare up of Colitis makes Popkins a grumpy crafter!! (cos I haven't been able to do any!!) and I really need to get the wedding invites finished plus for some reason suddenly got a bit of an influx of orders for nappy cakes - 4 in total!! Yay!

Anyway I'm after a bit of advice please regarding the wedding invites - here is the picture that my friend sent me of some invites she liked and I just cannot seem to get my bows to look right at all - any tips on tying the bows please? She had said she didn't particularly want to have holes like the ones on the website - just tie the ribbon round but have it stuck on somehow (I had been relieved about the holes cos I was thinking it would be tricky & VERY time consuming to punch holes in 75 invites!) but now I'm not so sure - I've been using DST on the back and sticking the ribbon to that and trying to tie the bow round to the front but I'm obviously not doing it right cos it doesn't look great - any advice please?

will post a picture of my sorry attempt a bit later!!

Hi - I know you can buy something called Ribbon Glue that is supposed to not soak through the ribbon like normal glue but I think I may have bought it in the US. Worth searching for it though as it may do the trick.


Just checked and it is available on ebay - Making Memories Ribbon Glue.

I thought I would post a few of the cards I have made. These have been made in the last year. I haven't had much chance recently to make much but hopefully that will change!!!

fab cards pointotnoreturn - the pram is an all-time favourite of mine, I've used that design a couple of times, but my favourite is probably the dress card x

I can confirm that the discount works
I know I shouldn't, I really can't afford it, but when you mentioned Bazill cardstock and free p&p

Fab cards Pointofnoreturn my fave is the yellow car card, I'm always stumped when it comes to making male cards and usually resort to buying one!!

Thankyou for your lovely comments on my card xx
