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

craftygranny

please can i say thank you very much to jammy for all her hard work on the blog.

Sorry i haven't been around much today but i had a meeting in bradford with the surgeon who's doing my other grandaughter carlys cochlear implant in a few weeks time.

More good news ladies i sent a few e mails off last night asking for donations of blog candy or things we could use to make more cards for sale or to raffle and a lovely lady called sue at craftwork cards has sent me a message to say she is sending a box of goodies .
I have put a thank you on alicia's blog page and am hoping to put a link to craftwork cards in the side bar as a thank you and hopefully for people to support sue in the same way by shopping with her.

lei-armstrong: I too want some nestabilities - where's the best place to buy them from. I have been watching vid's on youtube and i am amazed at what i can put through it. I have learnt several new tips.

I think the best place to get Nestabilities is probably eBay! I can recommend the following two sellers:

Lei-Armstrong - your trinket box is gorgeous, was it hard to make - I always really struggle when it comes to making them. I've got the euphoria papers - they are gorgeous - I've used them on loads of cards.

Rainmac/Melissa I made the box on my blog using this online tutorial for origami boxes - it was really easy to make & requires no glue to hold it all together, it's all just folded.

You've swayed me too - i'm going to have to order the Euphoria papers lol x

Seconded - if you want something in particular that Liz (make a lasting impression) doesn't have listed she'll have a hunt for it for you.

Fab cards on your blog Padster :T

I have just finnished packing my cards for Ikki's Appeal so I can post them in the morning. I am slowly catching up on everything crafty

Padster can I ask do you use Promarkers for all your colouring of your images?? I am new to promarkers and not sure of all the colours etc but really like the shades you have used in several of yours. What colours do you used the most?? Did you buy the packs or individual ones?? Hope you don't mind me picking your brains just been looking at all your cards (you have been busy) and admiring the colours.
