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

paddingtondoo

I'm not surprised you don't have any mojo left Rainmac - you've been so busy for ages.

Write your list down - it's very satifying when you get to cross stuff off - but don't make it too long or it'll put you off :rotfl:

I've just posted a WOYWW on my blog so although I've done a lot you'll see I've got a looooooong way to go to be anything approaching tidy :rotfl::rotfl:

Plenty of cake left I can always make another one - I made roast potatoes for the first time ever tonight - have no idea what they tasted like coz a) I don't like them and b) I don't have time to be ill:rotfl:

Padster that looks one gorgeous cake of Olympics standard. I could do it justice and land most gracefully and daintily on the Anthurium flower.

Once upon a stamp has them!! I just filled my basket with some of them to see how much it would cost for what I want ......

Shall reply to your PM in a moment or 10 Wife

Rainmac - Hope your DS is better soon, I bet plenty of sleep and in the morning it will look like nothing is there!! I love the hoots!! I put a hoot in there as an idea for my christmas pressy swap with mumhug!
as for the Basic Grey ... I don't think I like it :eek::eek:

Nannyboo - I was under the impression you can do lots with computer software for the cricut aswell? I might be wrong though?

Julie - You recommend the cricut? is it easy to use? can you get bits cheap occasionally?

There are some lovely cakes floating about on here!! anyone for a cake fight??

OH and I are considering the cambridge diet :eek: anyone done it?

For anyone who were interested in getting the justrite stamps - I was looking at them a few days ago and thinking whether to get them for myself as an xmas present - even though I don't have any nesties. There are a couple of other shops that sell them:
http://www.stampeezee.co.uk/rubber-stamps-justrite-stampers-c-5_172.html
they also stock these gorgeous ketto stamps that I was thinking of getting - I don't think you can get them anywhere else in the uk:

Popkins - happy birthday for tomorrow!!! I love your "granny-in-law" card - really pretty colours, and I love how you've used the glossy accents. Your nappy cakes are fabulous - I found it really hard to make a neutral one - but yours look great!

Rainmac - congrats on taking so much money at your craft fairs - 140 quid is fabulous!!! I hope your youngest's head looks better tomorrow!! I'd seen that basic range - it does look gorgeous - I'm not so keen on the other one.

I'm planning on making my own wedding invites and require A0 size card to get the most out of the sheet.

My questions for you all are:

What weight card is best?

& Where is best to get it?? (I'm after burgundy in colour - just to be difficult)

Thanks

Just popping on amidst the madness to say shock horror the parcel is finally on it's way to you Craftygranny! I really hope the stuff I have sent you is suitable for fundraising.

The Wife your CP swop card is winging it's way to you so our cards will probably pass in the post!

Dawnteabag your swop stash should be in the post tomorrow!
