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

Princesswoo - an ATC is an Artists Trading Card It's a little credit card sized bit of craft, anything on it at all. They are made to be swapped not sold (If you make them to sell the name changes to ACEO - Artists Collectors edition Original, I think) I was in a swap on Fiskarettes and had done 9 and posted them off but they've gone missing in this strike, 3 weeks later still no show so am making some more. Grrr.

I agree the craft section of this site is sooooo not money saving but VERY inspiring Am nearly caught up with all your blogs. If I'm not following you by tomorrow give me a nudge as it will be an accident. That way at least if I don't get on MSE I'll still keep up with you that way

Rainmac:I should have asked this on your blog but i forgot, you have used a smirk stamp to make a card and i was wondering what you used to colour the image.

Thanks for the info. I'm not too worried that it's going to cost me, I just don't want to waste money. If I buy her the basics and she enjoys it then I will be happy to buy more

Spidystrider - you could also check out your local craft shop if you have one. My local craft shop runs card classes every weekend for £3.50. Saying that - I go with my eldest and she is getting brilliant and I am still rubbish at them :P But it's nice to spend a couple of hours with her away from the younger two

I will definately look into this. It would be nice to do something together. We are both quite artistic, but have never tried card making and I think we would enjoy it.

Hey all, quick visit been a mad busy day, just sat down with a cuppa for a quick flick as better get the kids fed soon didnt realise the time:eek:

Was just laughing at the facebook comments, i line on here or there, am also hooked on farmville. If farming was that easy in real life i would up sticks and buy me a barn!:rotfl:

Will pop on later to look at your blogs with xfactor if i can win the fight with oh

Well I have found a way of avoiding Farmville lol (all my crops withered and died yesterday) just start looking at the wonderful blogs these ladies do. I sat down yesterday for half an hour to look at one of the blogs and then followed a link to Crafters kitchen blog and that was it four hours later I was still looking at that lol.

On a good point when your body wakes up at 5.30am real time but the clock says 4.30 there's lots of blogs to look at

They really are fantastic blogs ladies

Morning ladies, woke up really early this morning despite going to bed really late. I got hooked on making some Christmas tree decorations. You know what its like you get one idea and it leads to variations that you just have to do that minute. I will pop a piccie on my blog later.
I am going to the Stampin Up Show today at the Doncster Dome with my crafting buddy Jacquie. Don't know if I should take my fold up shopping bag or my Mums shopping trolley lol. If its up to DH it will be neither, just put it in your handbag!! Hoping to see something a bit different.
