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

rainmac

Jammy, I love that lady's blog :T and have spent half an hour looking for little tins but couldn't find any (in the UK), only to come on here and Rusty's found them at a decent price so off to buy some, cheers Rusty :beer:

Mumhug, huge congratulations to you :T :T :T I am so pleased you have found a job you love and are being paid to do it. So rewarding x

Mel, the cards on your blog are stunning, I love your Halloween images

Sunrise, when Mel said she bought some double-sided tape, she actually bought LOADS of double-sided tape I remember when we went to the NEC before, Lili of the Valley had offers on all their stuff if you bought more than one set. There were a few pound stalls which I loved!!! Most stuff was pretty much full price or with a tiny bit of discount but it is fab seeing all that stash in one place and there are expert crafters around to offer hints and tips

Rusty, glad you are all feeling better, nothing worse than being/feeling sick. What's happening with your car now or would you rather I didn't ask

Flourgirl, I have a reindeer die, this one. Do you want to borrow it, I can pop it in the post no problem x I have bought some coconut today to make a cake over the weekend Need to make some chocolate crispie cakes for tea tonight.

Something gorgeous arrived in the post for me this morning from the lovely Greenpixey and I need help naming it, can you please pop over to my blog and help me out. Ta x

They will send an invoice by email with a postage discount for multiple items.

I've just bought these tins from Sarah's Cards with a few other bits ...



Going to do the draw for the Friendship card swap on Crafty Place tonight so if you haven't signed up and would like to please do so NOW!!!

Rainmac - I haven't had to buy any tape since I went!!! Green pixey makes some lovely things doesn't she? I've bought myself a book to make those amigram thingies - I don't know when I'll get round to trying them out though.

I would LOVE to be able to do what she does but I think (or rather I know) crochet is beyond me. I tried to knit a blanket when I was pregnant with DS2 and I failed miserably

Thanks Rainmac its done and paid I have loads of the little bead tubs full of beads plus lots and lots of packets. My mum went to a craft auction a few years ago and bought masses of stuff so cheap, and slowly stuff is migrating to my house. If you want some beads just let me know.

My car is still broken :eek: OH has found someone who if we send him my fuel pump + £500 then he will send us a refurbed one which will be under warranty for 1 year ... still trying to decide the best plan of action to get me back on the road OH's car should be ready to pick up tomorrow, he has to call the garage he brought it from and ask if they are paying for it, if they say no then he will be taking them through a small claims court as we know our rights .... As for being ill, yesterday we all seemed so much better, then last night I was being sick again, and this morning both children have it coming out the other end in a bad way Need to drag us all out later on to go buy some nappies as DD is just in pull up pants as she is almost dry!! but nappied tend to keep stuff in there a bit better if that makes sense :rolleyes:

That is a beautiful rabbit!! I have 2 little keychain thingys which I asked her to make for my children, they are on the way soon they will go in the kids stockings

Love the bunny Rainmac, and that carrot is so cute.
I can knit and crochet but when it comes to stuffing I can never make them look right, they always come out deformed. Greenpixey is very talented and there is some fab stuff on her blog. Those little santa heads would look great on my tree.

Big thankyou to Melissa, I went for coffee at bunbuns a couple of weeks ago and spied a beautiful notepad, Bunbun mentioned it was handmade :eek: by melissa I was amazed and ordered 2 from the lovely melissa, one for me and one for MIL. She has finished them. Not sure if Melissa can show us some pics? or if I have to wait for them to arrive?? Thankyou Melissa I really appreciate it x
