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

ali.b.123

Afternoon ladies, just had a frustrating half hour trying to update my blog - when I did the draft it looked fine but when published it was all over the place:eek: has anyone else had this problem???

Also can anyone point me in the right direction or give advice on colouring with pro-markers - just dont seem to get the professional look everyone else does. Sometimes it looks like they have measles on their face - when I have done a light colour and then gone over with a darker colour!! I know earlier in the thread some said how they achieved skin tones - but cant find the info. now (sorry:o).

Thanking you all in advance.

Thanks for that link Kim on the punches - think I have a desp. need for them - done my little jars for the kids and tried to cut circles for the lids -OMG what a mess!! (lol!)

Hi ladies i know this is a frequently asked question but I am after the cheapest place for nesties with fairly quick delivery.

I have tried liz on ebay and she doesnt have the ones I want.

They are my annivesary present from hubby I need to get hem quick before he changes his mind.

i have just gone to get the sellers name that I bought mine from but they haven't got anything at the moment.

princesspoppypop- ive used this site to order woorware punches, its called happy daze and postage is free over 10.00, which for me worked well because if i was paying my total postage was something near 10.00 for 3 punches! I used the site after rainmac posted a link. Delivery was fast too [pre postal strike mind you]

Melissa75& The Wife- i too think their stamps are unsusal. I see they do challenges for candy, which id be keen on entering but ur project has to included a papertrey ink product:rolleyes:. The Wife youll have to investigate on my behalf at ur demo class, please!

I agree about Happy Daze, I love the Stampotique stamps and recently emailed them to see if they could get any others that are not in their shop. They were happy to take a list off me of the ones I wanted to include in their next order run. Couldn't afford to do it at the time but am definitely going to when I have the pennies. So helpful and the free postage swings it for me

Yes, a circle is always tricky, I bought the 3 inch circle and the 3.5 inch scallop circle so they would fit inside each other. I also have the 2 inch and 3.5 inch circles. But now i think i need to plan what ones i buy eg. 1 inch circle and a 1.5 inch scallop to compliment each other and so on.....;)
Tho woodware dont do a 1.5 inch scallop, i think:rolleyes:

ps. updated my blog today

Hi there,

Didn't realise there was a cardmaking thread on here till recently, so am enjoying reading all the posts

If you're wanting a Scallop Circle Punch - I can highly recommend the punch by Stampin' Up! that you can purchase from myself for £12.50. Cuts beautifully and there's additional circle punches that co-ordinate with this one.

Hope this helps.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for that - I did go on and have a look at the stampin up online catalogue but couldn`t see the punch.

What size is the one you have? I`m wanting them to decorate my card organizers that I`m making for Christmas gifts so its a medium size I require really.

Princesspoppypop - welcome back to the thread!!!!

Thanks Melissa, Ive been away for a while as I found out I was pregnant which is such wonderful news to hubby and I but I lost all interest in any crafting. I was quite poorly too which wasn`t nice. I`m now 16 weeks and feeling great - my hair has grown really long and is super shiney! The morning sickness seems to have passed too.

So I`m back to the crafting and especially Christmas paper crafting!
