Any chance you could do this for me too? Or let me know where you order from? I'm in love with your stamps!

My big Mad About Cards order is due tomorrow...I can't wait! I'll be eagerly crafting all day, if everything goes right. OH has an exam at 9am, so I'll be up waiting for it. I haven't bought anything in ages, so I'm super excited :j

Your cards all look so professional and brilliant, I hope I can produce something good or I'll be gutted, haha.

Two new cards today. The picture hasn't come out very well, it has little pink glittery hearts on it, which looks quite effective. I also LOVE the flower in the middle, which doesn't show very well. It's sparkly and I agonised over using it up!




I don't think the white flower/banner is in the middle on this one. I'm crap at getting things centrall!

I was just wondering what everyone's favourite embellishment is? Is there a specific one you buy often because you know how pretty it is? For example I ordered a number of embellishments the other day. They all looked lovely on the website, but when they came were TINY. The only one I really liked was the pink flower I used above.

Oh wow, they are stunning cards!
I love the first one, its so professional looking, and the flower is gorgeous!

Rainmac - I'm sorry I wont be entering the current challenge I've just made the most incompetent inept card ever and am out of time.

If it could go wrong - IT DID!
- Tried a fancy edge stamp - it looked chewed
- Cut the scalloped circle - the WRONG size
- My glue had seized up over the holiday - glue everywhere in getting it unbunged
- Papers were a bit strong purple in colour so thought I'd use vellum to tone it down. Glue marks all over it. Anyone want a pack of vellum?

The only good bit was a pretty flower stamp I coloured. I might just post it on here just for a laugh.

Rant over - going to bed!

Jazabelle - my fave embelishments are flowers. Your cards are lovely!

Thank you! Sorry to hear everything is going wrong for you.

Do you have a link to specific flowers you often get? That's what I'm looking for! It's hard to know what's going to look as good in the flesh as the picture, so with a recommendation it's easier!

I think I might be the only one awake at them moment, but if anyone is left would you mind telling me if 3D dots are suitable for decoupage at all please? If not, is anything on this page what I'm looking for http://www.theglitterpot.co.uk/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=206please?
