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

I'm awake (god knows why!) but I have no idea...sorry
I've got some decoupage sheets I bought before Christmas, but they didn't come with instructions so I have no idea how to use them.

Yeah, I have the same problem! I bought some accidently, and am not sure what to do with them.

On closer inspection, the delivery note with mine recommends buying 3D foam squares to put them together with, so I presume anything 3D like that would work?

I'm getting some tomorrow, so I might try and make mine tomorrow. How many cards have you made now? Are you selling them? They are gorgeous, I hope I can make something half as good!

Excellent, thank you! Added those to my order.

Aw, thanks so much! I've made five now in total. Oh, actually six - but one looked awful and so I picked it back apart! I'm hoping to salvage what's left of it sometime later. No, not selling them. I'm embarrassed to give them to people, let alone sell them!

I've spent a fortune though, and am putting in another order. I must make this my last one, though. It's awful.

Will this be your first one you make tomorrow? Do you have an idea in mind?

Morning all.

Sorry I haven't been around much had a nightmare of a day!! Hope everyone is ok? and hope everyone is happier now the snow is clearing?? Ours has nearly all gone, yesterday we woke up to lots of puddles of water everywhere where it had melted, the kids were most upset that their snowman is melting and his head has dropped off!!

Dawnteabag - hope you have managed to get your washer sorted? ours came out in sympathy for you yesterday and had a flashy light disco going on, when we looked on the net at the manual it is screwed so spent most of yesterday afternoon finding a good washer at a reasonable price and also finding one in stock!! managed it though so I spent yesterday evening playing with it lol.

Stay safe everyone if you still have snow/ice!

jazabelle your cards look great! well done! and you need 3d foam squares for decoupage

rusty oh dear your washing machine too!! maybe it's catching lol, at least you managed to sort it!

hope some of my parcels come today, I'm waiting for 6 which I think must have been delayed because of the bad weather, although we've still been getting post every day (on saturday I saw the postman and he was wearing shorts :eek: he must be mad lol)

one of the parcels is my mini envelope punch which I have finally got round to buying after I was searching for one at the NEC in november :rotfl:

It had best stop be catching!! ... It was only 2.5 years old, my aunt bought me it as a birthday pressie which I had to have in the april before my birthday cause my glass fell out of my door :rotfl: ...

I have had one parcel which I am still waiting on since december and another from this year which has some papers in there which I am desperate for :rotfl: haven't seen our posty for a couple of days but it has been quite bad up here and the parcel man (in van) said some of the lads aren't doing the walking rounds! :eek:

I am sooo excited about the NEC in march ... another few days and the tickets should be available to buy!

I'm glad Im not the only one having washer problems (feels like it sometimes lol) I haven't had one since the end of November! I've been washing everything by hand in the sink.

Phew I was starting to feel responsible for everyones washing machine problems but mine only "went" mid December so I can't be held responsible for Lyndachs at least! I've been doing a bit of handwashing but when you have a son that plays rugby and does cross country running for fun there's only so much dirt you can get out. Mine was only 2 and a half years old too Rusty and had to be bought because the door fell off - I'd had the old one for 8 years but it just couldn't take "&son" swinging on it!
I did finally get some papercraft done - My shadowbox frame but was too tired to sort out photos. Will try and do them and my challenge card tonight.

Lyndach

No one can be blamed for mine! I've had 3 in one year! lol
I'm hating hand washing the baby's clothes, poop and food stains are not nice haha
I'm waiting for a call back about my new one, snow's stopping it being delivered.
