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

Popkins

Just quickly popping on as need to be leaving the house in a mo - first time out of the house this week - really been feeling carp!!! anyhoo onwards!! :rolleyes:

Had some goodies arrive this morning with the postie from A Card 4 U - really impressed as I only placed the order about 2pm yesterday!! Loving the embossed flowers so thanks to Dragonllew for posting about them - they're lovely!!!

Still working on my cards for Flourgirl - sorry!! Tri-fold & swing - they've really made me struggle LOL! anyway they are designed just need to find my DST - grrrrr where has it disappeared to - its not like theres piles of stash everywhere or anything... :eek:

Will then hopefully move onto the lace one & the scraps/die cut one - when are the deadlines for those? It will give me an excuse to have a play with my new cuttlebug - haven't had a chance as been sooo busy with hampers/weddings etc!! Have posted pictures of a wedding hamper I made on my blog - it was an order so it made me some pennies which might've purchased some more bits for my cuttlebug!!

Nearly there with my long list of things to do - just gotta make a wedding towel cake & personalised photo album & bits for my brother who's getting married in Mauritius - getting excited only 9 more sleeps til we fly out!! :j

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAITLYN!!!! :bdaycake:

Oooh I also mean't to ask a quick cuttlebug question - Nesties circles - I have found a set of 4 on ebay for £59.40 & free p&p - it includes small circles & large circles and small scalloped circles and large scalloped circles

Can you experienced cuttle!!!!!!s let me know if this is a good price and if its worth it - which ones do you ladies have & use the most? Just wondering if all 4 would be good or just 2 - say small or large?

TIA

Hi,

Personally in my opinion you only need one set of either scallops. I have the large set which were my first nesties, I have recently bought the large circles to get the effect on this hedgehog card

I wouldn't bother to buy the small set aswell as I have what I want.

You can pick up each set from ebay for around £16 with free postage

Hope that helps a little?

Oh and if you want the circles to go inside the scallops then order the same set ... i.e small scallops with small circles and large scallops with large circles

Does anyone know what the hedgehog I used on my recent card is called? I know it is penny black but I can't find the stamp or even stamped images of it and I really want either the stamp or stamped images.

Can anyone help??

Bunbun I am about to PM you I want to ask a massive favour!!

Ditto what Rusty said Popkins, I've been using nesties since Bruce Forsyth was a boy and that's a long time! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The one of the differences between the large scallops and the small is the amount of scallops you get and if you like to have your layering really close. If you go to Ikki's blogspot www.ikkiscuttlebugcupboard.blogspot.com there is heaps of stuff with regards to all Spellbinders products and what she doesn't know ain't written. I always check what she's written about on her Tippy Thursday spot and I don't have a Bug and she has the cutting sandwich for the Bug there as well. Follow the link on her blog to an Ebay seller who's one of the best.

Thank You for all the good wishes For Kaitlyn. I've just popped on quick while she is at nursery.A big thank you to Rainmac, Flourgirl,Marg, little myz and especially jennie for the beautiful cards and gifts that arrived. You want to see the fab pressie that arrived from jennie. I will post piccies as soon as i can. She is absolutely thrilled with it and it has been to nursery to be admired by everyone and into the day nursery to be admired by her old teachers. It is absolutely beautiful and made us all cry even Kaitlyn but in a good way. Have i got you all intrigued now .

Rusty,Melissa , Marg and louby . so glad the stuff got there alright you never know if it will get through alright at the moment. I always worry when i post anything sad or what.

I finally made my atc / fat page and the dreaded swing card for the swaps on cp and they will be in the post as soon as possible.

Fab cake rusty she will love that lol. Watch out for the essex and world cake diving champion though . Her real cake won't be seen till tomorrow and it has no cake in it. it is made entirely from sweets .lol.
