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

Charlie23

Hi I've posted on here before and you've been really helpful. I'm debating about asking for a die cutter for Christmas and i'm a bit rubbish with them all to tell the truth! I was wondering if you could make some suggestions as to which ones are good and why.
I'm looking to spend between £50 and £80 and i'll be using it to make cards.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Charlie

I am so going to throttle my hubby . He just saw the card and said oh thats folded like that one in the mag you had the other day. When i asked which one he said i don't know you have so many. Now i won't be able to sleep until i've found it . Hmmm i may be quite some time if i can't wait till morning . Now he's said it though i think i did see something similar

Did you see all her other stuff ? be warned if you start looking you'll be there forever

I have a cuttlebug you can use them with embossing folders and most other makes of dies . They are just so versatile.
The other one you may like is the big shot that can use lots of other makes of dies too but needs a bit more storage space .

Yes, I think that is the one. It's quite a small world after all. I've only been there once when I had to pick up his car after he ended up in Sutton hospital, that was not fun having to drive to sutton at 10pm! The things we do for love...

Rusty - I'm following you now. Just skimmed through lots of your cards and I think they are great. I notice you have the robin stamp that was in the docrafts goody bag

@princesswoo - good luck with the surgery. I hope it's nothing too big.

OK Twilight sounds like a good series of books. I have to admit I watched the DVD recently and loved it, although I didn't get the no fangs thing? Or did I miss something? I hope I haven't ruined the book by watching the movie. But I have resisted to see New Moon, mainly because OH has been working lates every Wednesday when it's Orange Wednesday. :rolleyes:

Dawn I am sure you are one of the nicer people that works at a bank

Everybody has children apart from me so far....anyone else got no kids?

Craftygranny - you are very young granny and I now have a completely different picture of you now

I'm off to look at the folding game....I've failed miserably with that. Have no idea, sorry. Next game please.

i dont have kids lol your not alone

Im Alyssa im 20 from manchester, i work full time as a hairdresser so dont have alot of crafty time to myself, also why it takes so long to catch up on here i sometimes pop on in work but cant post

p.s im obsessed with twilight aswell, currently listening to breaking dawn in the car lol Audiobooks FTW:D:j

i want a cuttlebug , have a look at them

I second the cuttlebug - it is so versatile with being able to use embossing folders/die cut folders and spellbinder nestabilities in (although having just discovered this, I am spending a fortune on getting new ones!). It is really easy to use too. Have to say it is probably the best crafting gadget I have. currently on offer at the Craft Superstore which is where I got mine from a couple of months ago.

Charlie, I've got the Spellbinders Wizard 'cos I'm a Nesties addict like lots of people on here. Before the Wizard I had a Big Shot which I gave to my grandaughters! ( Grandaughters! I know, it's hard to believe but I was a child bride )

Here's a link to a brillliant site that will tell you all about the Bug. Just think, you'll be able to call yourself a cuttlebuggler

I do have a blog It is here. I am signed off work as I have a slipped disc in my back, a compressed nerve root and disc disease ... in short all the above - sciatica in my legs and I am really struggling to do much at the minute, I managed to shop in asda today by pushing the trolley and then letting it roll with me on it :rotfl: my Gran told me off though!!


Now that's exactly how i shop too. pmsl . My daughter wants me to go in on my scooter i'm sure only so she can laugh at me after last time.

Cool I'm not alone then.

That's actually a really good idea to listen to audiobooks in the car. Never thought of doing that before.
