Making Cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (Part 3)

HopeAndDriftWood

I've been given some stacking squares, and I've got no idea what to do with them...I'm a bit baffled by the whole item but OH is expecting me to create something magical with them, lol.

Any ideas?

Rusty, I'm glad they are sending you free teabags. It's seems odd that you can't buy them individually!

Feeling bit better bit also bit miffed :mad: OH got new ink cartridges for printer (I;ve loads to print out) -put them in with the help of neighbours daughter still didn't work so she fetched her mum (they've got same printer) She tried everything and no way will it print anything but a bit of this and a tiny bit of that and colours are all wrong.
So Monday OH is taking them back for refund or replacement or something:(
Young girl who cleans came up to tell me she's moving away :eek: Oh panic !! But neighbours daughter said she'll do it so that was relief.
Actually got around to making a card today :j Old friend from schooldays is very ill..........not very good at get well cards especially for blokes so he's got a 'best wishes' with a piccy of a cup of coffee on it.............think that'll do him.
Well, off to grab bit of sofa for Eastenders:)

Hi everyone, my October afternoon papers arrived today and I love them :j so much so that I think I am going to order some more, shhh don't tell my OH he is already moaning about all the stuff I have.

on laptop until next week and it doesn't seem to like opening blogs so will try and catch up next week. Have a craft book that I bought off Amazon and I am going to try a couple of things out of there next week when I have a few days off

Wooo that was alot of pages to catch up on!!!!

I've had no luck finding the MS Scoring Board in the US. I've seen another one that is on special offer called Top Score Multiboard made by Crafters Companion USA. Has anyone used one of these ones before?? It has grooves for cards on one side and boxes on the other. Here is a link for it - I watched the video and it looks quite good but she is using US sized paper and I am not sure how different this will be to UK paper.

There are some lovely MS punches in the US in Michaels. I intend to get a few whilst I am over here. I bought one on my last visit which punches out 'Happy Birthday' but have not used it yet!

Hiya, pnor :wave: across the pond there. Shame about the MS board, my DIL is looking out for one in Canada, she's got her coupon and ready and waiting for it but no sign yet.

Don't forget to check out the dollar stores too when you're shopping, I picked up loads of stuff when I was in Texas, there was quite a few glue tape runners that jumped in every crevice in my case.

I've had the enveloper board but don't worry about the big crafters companion best advice is to save your pennies and look on line, how long are you over there for?

Just tried to have a quick catch up but missed loads out, sorry!
We’ve been housebound since Wednesday as my 3 year old has tonsillitis yet again and eye ache and my 6 month old had the noro virus, its really horrible, feel so sorry for her. When she’s not violently sick for a while we think she’s getting better and then starts up again! Its been 4 nights of no sleep … attempted a card last night but was wonky where I’m so tried, only realised this morning lol! Now hoping docrafts website will work so I can treat myself while the babies sleeping in DD1 is watching Timmy Time!!!

wanna-b-rich – I had a quick look yesterday on this post and saw yours about the docrafts website sales, had loads of bits I wanted to ordr so was waiting until this morning … now the sites down, maybe it’s a sign lol!

Mary – Hopefully they’ll sort it out. When we were on holiday a few years ago I kept blacking out randomly, an ambulance was called and they done a few tests, making my follow their fingers with my eyes, things like that and I kept falling over! It was really horrible, would never have thought it could be so nasty!!! Hope you feel better soon!

Flourgirl – Glad to hear everything is ok! Your cake looks lovely, think we’ll be giving the one a go this weekend!

RustyFlange – Really love your scrapbook layouts … I need to get my bum in gear and do my DDs Christening scrapbook she got as a present.

Lou, sending you a big pile of sleep dust for the kiddies xxx

Mary, so glad you're feeling a bit better, make sure you get lots of rest x

TheWife, how are you feeling today?

We had a great time in the Lego shop and my boys loved seeing my brother. Good night's sleep had all round :T

KimPossible - just incase you didnt see my reply on the blog, the mixer and sentiment are Bo Bunny. Its a round sticker made to look 3D and from the Kitchen Spice range

Lou05 sounds like you are having a sleepless time with 2 poorly litttlies. I'm sending you all lots of hugs ((((((XX))))))

Rainmac glad you had a good time at the Lego shop. My DH found Willow her daddies old lego in our loft, so she had a brilliant time with that the other day. When I saw it all over the lounge floor it took me back about 25 years!!! Where does the time go!!

My sister and family had to quickly shoot off to Papworth last night things aren't going good! The top heart specialist has been to see them and told them he needs another heart transplant urgently, even then he wont guarantee it will work There has been some damage somewhere, will probably find out more later. Sister too upset to talk, and my niece is beside herself.

Catch up later. Have a good day all of you xx
