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

Morning ladies!

Hello to all the new ladies - jump on in the water's fine!

Wheezysmith - your bits and pieces are great - lovely papers.

Craftygranny - sounds like the boys were thrilled to bits with their footy bits. It's no nice to know that people can be so generous.

Was just about to let Flourgirl know that I'm not on the Ikki list - then I remembered my identity change d'oh!

Rainmac - have a fabulous day. I did a couple last year and really enjoy the interaction with everyone even if Idon't sell much.

Whoopidoo -have pm'd you via CP about Christmas!

Would like to say thanks to everyone on this thread - you have been an inspiration for me to try out new things (usually do sewing and knitting). But I do see what people mean about getting expensive - I now *need* a scallop punch, cuttlebug and scoring board.

Here a couple of things that I have been trying out - to see if I can do them for the school fair. I'd bought a new paper trimmer from hobbycraft and hate it. It doesn't seem to cut straight and sometimes doesn't cut all the way through. I'm going to see if I can swap it for something better (which probably means more expensive) at the weekend.

Here they are...


Thanks to Rusty for the pattern for this lovely bag - will be def doing more of these.


Gift card holder - def need something better to do these - to fiddly and not a patch on the ones I saw on the net.


Money holder - really easy.


Really like this gift card holder.

Thanks for looking

Wow all your makes are fab!!!

Mel will send you a pm about the Xmas present swap

Mary, the little magnets are from ebay but you can probably buy them all over the place. How many are you thinking you'd want, I may have some spare

Melissa - I'm a bad bear - yes my food fat page did turn up thought i'd posted to say thank you but have a mind like a sieve and concentration levels of a gnat at the mo .

Have you tried sports direct for kits - not sure if they're any cheaper but often get DS's Man U ones (spit) from there .

Hi new personages - Had forgotten about those gift bags wheezysmith they're lovely.

Where's the best place for a scorpal - OH keeps asking me what I want for xmas so will suggest that to shut him up for 5 mins :rotfl:

Good luck rainmac - one day you'll e a crafting millionaire
