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

louby-lou-lou

Thanks for the comments on my anniversary card, I have got to make a champagne bottle to go on a card. I have a template but it's the cork bit i don't know what to do about. Do you think gold card would look ok? Foil would be better to look more real but i haven't got any and can't find any locally.

louby get yourself a galaxy chocolate bar and use the gold foil from that I did for one lol. and you get to eat the choc too or in my case kaitlyn did i'm a diabetic .

OMG why did i not think of that, what a great excuse (like i need one) to eat chocolate. Thanks, i am glad i saw that before i go out for the day. Def will get some although i am more of a cadbury/bournville girl ummm. i want some now!

Lovely cards everyone.
Savepenny love your popcorn card. I have been working so not had a chance to play but off on Friday so going to get cracking on making xmas cards for troops to send home.

Hamish - Is this something anyone can get involved with? I'd like to contribute. If you pm me the 'rules' and your address so I can send to you I'd like to have a go. - In fact - 2nd thoughts - I know the next challenge has been set but if time allows can I bag the one after that and maybe all the rest of the girls will contribute too??
I'll offer a prize on a random number basis. (I loved PLM's method!)

What do the rest of you think to that?

I think that's a great idea Marg.

Have finally been back to the doctors about my shoulder and have a frozen shoulder - no wonder it hurts - he's referred me for physio and signed me off - knew it was going to take a while to sort when he asked me how long I wanted to be signed off for didn't like to ask for any more :rotfl:.

So will be limiting my internet time for a bit until it eases off fortunately it's my right shoulder and I'm left handed so a bit of light crafting should be fine as I need to exercise it

Polly - congrats on your blog awards.

Marg - beautiful stitched card, it looks really classy! Great anniversary card - the papers and image are really pretty. Sounds like a great idea for the next challenge!

Rainmac - thanks for the links!!!

Paddingtondoo - hope your shoulder feels better soon.

Oh my gosh! I've got loads to catch up on, off to York for the weekend. Is there any crafts shops beside PAPERMILL around York or in the city itself?

Well Done Padster and Mrs Tidge :T

Padster - lovely cards and hamper on your blog, hope you get a physio appointment soon :T

Dawn - two more lovely cards on your blog - I'm sure &son will love the rocket card, its fab. Hope you have a good holiday

Louby - fab card, the heart is gorgeous

Lei - very cute card, and I love the papers you've used

Marg - gorgeous stitched card and lovely anniversary card too

I went back to the GPs yesterday as my back and neck still aren't right - I've been referred to physio. Today I can't get into crafting - I think it might be because my neighbours tv woke me up up at 5am and I never really got back to sleep :rotfl:
My latest card is on my blog. I'm not sure I'll have chance to do one for the challenge this time:o
