Beautiful cards everyone.

Craftygranny I love the candycane paper!! really pretty. Is the santa a stamp? if so where did you get it from please?

Rainmac - Well done on your craft fair, so glad things went ok for you are you all set for the one before christmas now?

Dawn - Lovely simple birthday cards, I am soo impressed by them, which embosser/die set was it? do you have a link please?

Ooo I've just found this thread when I was looking to share one of the new Tesco Clubcard Deals.

Just incase anyone is interested, in the new tesco clubcard booklet that arrived this morning, in the lifestyle section you can get the Hallmark Cark Studio Deluxe for £7.50 clubcard vouchers. I've seen this online a few times and it's got really good reviews.

I'm quite new to card making, but for some reason I can't quite gather I decided to set up a website selling cards, invitations, wedding cake toppers, door signs, watercolour portraits etc. I've only had orders from a few close friends so far but I'm hoping that once I put the effort in to advertise I might get a few more order. I love card making, it's my little creative outlet. If it's ok to share one with you, this is one my mother in law asked me to do for her for a friend's daughter who'd just had a baby, and one I did for my parents anniversary:

well I was going to put a couple of photobucket images up but as I'm a new user it won't let me :mad: how long before I can????

I really want to be able to have cut outs of letters that are a couple of inches high to be able to have 3d writing on the cards. Anyone know where I can get some as at the moment if I wan't 3d individual letters I'm having to draw them and cut them out individually......which is very time consuming!!!

You can either buy packs of chipboard letters or alphabet stickers/rub-ons or invest in a die cutting machine such as the Cuttlebug! x

rusty it is called santa collage by rubber stampede and is now retired and hard to find. my lovely dil sent it to me from the us . You can buy it as a clear unmounted stamp i hear it is a little smaller but i don't know . pic here

I'd seen a cuttlebug advertised and I thought it might be for that....DOH!!!:o I'm going to have a mooch for them now

Has anyone seen the Shimmerz paints? I've got the spring selection and they are absolutely beautiful. I keep trying to think of projects just to use them :rotfl:

Craftgranny, I just had a look at your blog, I love you cards xx I remember seeing someones post with monogram wedding invitations for later this year - they were great, a really novel idea.

Now I've starting making cards I can't believe how expensive places like clintons are!! I never used to realise but on the couple of occasions when I've forgotten to do a card for someone and had to buy one it annoys me at the mark up they are making on really simple cards. Anyone else the same?

rusty i will pm you in a sec. if you or anyone else want some images just shout .

Just been on the Crafty Place and all your cards are fabulous.

Crafty granny i have the Santa Collage stamp too i managed to get one from America the wooden back one and including postage it only cost me about£12.95 and only took a week to get to me from America my friend bought the clear stamp version and says its quite small.
I dont mind stamping some of the santa images for anyone i have to do some for a friend this week anyway.

Melissa please can you tell people your news :j :jxxxx

craftygranny

polly mines the wood backed one they are fab aren't they . I heard the clear ones are quite small but apparantly in the clear ones there are 2 different sizes and if you get the pack of 9 stamps the santa collage is only fractionally smaller than the original.

Come on melissa spill the beans
