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

craftygranny

Sorry choccy think they just got here those elves the minute my hubby's backs turned they'll be stamp buying for me at funky kits but i'll send them straight back.

Ali glad they got to you ok.

Rusty glad the cards got to you ok. i wasn't sure about the trifold but think it could be because i hadn't done one before . My hubby reckons it had too many flowers. think i have been watching kaitlyn too much.
Well i'm not sorry for leading you astray as i think that stamp is well worth it lol. Well as soon as o/h isn't looking i'll be off to get those stamps.
I spent a fortune this week already i bought 15 stamps for princess k's birthday they were only 99p each though . plus my dewdrops and my images and more promarkers oh dear need i say more

Jamtart - well if you haven't had the chance to craft since March you deserve a big splurge!

Dragonflew - I'm so sorry I haven't done your atc yet, I promise I'll try and get it done as soon as I can!

Jailhousebabe - sounds like that hotel was really cheap, the OH would love to go to Vegas, trouble is I don't think he'd want to leave!

they have loads and loads of a4 card in loads of colours, and its free postage if you spend over 20 quid. They also have stacks of decoupage and their prices are really reasonable!

Choccy - Safe? I am never safe :rotfl: Hope you are feeling better soon hun xx

Craftygranny - I am so glad I am leading you astray :rotfl: I have played with my new stamps ... I have 2 A4 sheets of stamped images and I am sat with the TV on about to start colouring in! ok so it isn't making cards but it is a start!!

Melissa - I thoroughly recommend bubbly funk I ordered the papers from there for my matchbox advent calender, I also ordered the christmas keychain on the other link. they arrived really quickly and were well packed!!

Polly - Thanks hun, I hold you responsible for my clear ink pad .... ok and the santa stamp aswell but thats craftygranny as she found me a link! :rotfl: I can't believe how beautiful it is!! .... OH will go mad cause I told him I *needed* the lace tree as everyone would have a christmas card with that on but already I am thinking christmas images instead!! ... I might make a couple this evening if DD settles! .... I was going to call you for a natter earlier on, wasn't sure if you would be in or if you would be busy so thought I had better not! x
