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

Gemm85

afternoon all, been off work today as my sore throat has turned into the worst cold ever I can't really moan though cause I don't get ill very often, havent had a cold for 18 months before this one!

beautiful cards all, I will pop on to blogs later and leave individual comments.

Oh dear Gemm, sorry to hear that, keep warm and don't forget to drink plenty. I hope you're still able to craft now that you have a lovely new and organised craft room. Hope you will feel better tomorrow. Hugs xx

Rainmac I think £1.50 is spot on it's what I had in my head so I'm glad you've said that! I've made quite a few now and paired them and cellophaned them, they look lovely, hope I manage to sell some! I have also decorated my brown lunchtype bag, same as your advent one for your mum & Dad, can I ask you a few questions?! Firstly How did you manage to print the label on the front? And do you think I could just put some interesting facts in there? and maybe some chocolates and scratch card etc and maybe a lottery ticket?

How have you cellophaned them Hels? I did wonder about wrapping...?

I think your ideas for the advent bag are fab . The label on my lunch bag was done in Word (mostly by my OH), do you want me to email one to you that you can amend to what you want it to say?

Hi Skiergirl

I'm not sure where we're going this time but some of the places we've been before have been good. (My OH's Mum lives in Knutsford, so there always near there. There's

The Swan With Two Nicks
The Emperor's Court (chinese)
The Golden Pheasant ( nr Plumley OH thinks!)

When I speak to his Mum I'll ask her where the other places are for you.

Hi Sal, Thank you for the names :T Hope you enjoyed wherever you went at the weekend. The Swan is about 4 miles from us and is one of our favourites I haven't heard of the others though so will investigate

Thanks flourgirl. I have just bought some from eBay. It has been one of those days today. I checked the do-crafts web-site to find my local stockist which was a huge garden centre that I never go to, I went a good year ago and got a few bits from the craft shop so drove there and they have got rid of the shop.

Came home and started a few bits for my coffee morning and I think I must have either gremlins or naughty elves cos my embellishment box not only dropped on the floor once but twice. The first time was my fault I was carrying too much, the lid smashed off and everything went flying but I picked it all up. But the second time it just fell off the table on its own. Unfortunately it was in a different room to the last time and everything has fallen down between the floor boards.

I am gutted the box was full of gems, sequins, fab metallic brads, pastel brads, buttons and little flowers. I managed to save some but most are all gone! Boo Hoo.
