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

pinkladymel

My son is 4 and he is exactly like that. Any excuse to dictate what I do on the computer is really the issue at hand rather than what he is pretending to want!

I done some serious blog hoppering today!

Loadsa Nestie circles

lol... anyone else think the price on these will rocket in the next day?..... I was bidding on something the other day and put in £11 and was winning and at the last minute I was outbid.. with £36 .. ok so I am a cheapskate but it means sometimes when i don't get outbid I get mega bargains

...like my huge box of watercolour and acrylic paints for £11 from months ago... I still have to work out what to do with them all lol

Myz are you aware that kellyshop is in the states, check back with them on postage to the UK? Also checkout the spellbinders site www.spellbinderspaperarts.com and check their die cutting info. Also check on my blog www.craftywife.blogspot.com and look down to Ikkies Cuttlebug Corner where she will tell you about the difference between classic and petite scallop circles, the mian difference is the number of scallops around the edge and they are very slightly smaller.

There's quite a few of us on here who have nesties and are always happy to help.

Yeah the postage to UK is up there £6-99 I think but if that price doesn't go up much it's a great deal lol... but I don't think it will stay that low unfortunately hehe

Evening ladies - wow this thread sure does move fast.

I can hear DH reading to my boys in bed - and they are reading a Christmas story - I blame challenges and PLM!!

Fab cards Padster, Dawn, Louby, Leia, Skiergir,Polly,and JHB (GOOD LUCK FOR THE EXAM)

Flourgirl - have a lovely time in Wales - and thanks for the Funky Fairies link - just bought 3 kits for under £5!

Just getting a curry tonight - I was working late and can't be bothered to cook..

I really need to get myslef in gear and have a good old clear up of the study and get down to some serious crafting but just can't seem to manage it....I think Ill just have a glass of wine instead tonight!

PLM my blog is here - hasn't been updated for an embarassing amoun of time though!

Cor blimey what a load of gasbags you all are!! I dissapear to have some adult conversation for the day and come home to 4 pages!!!

Forgive me for being rude but so much has been said but all the cards on various blogs are beautiful!! (too many to list!)

Can I thank Polly for the christmas card with the santas face on her blog, last night it inspired me to try and heat emboss a stamped image, and I was very very impressed with the results even though I did it on a piece of scrap offcut card! Really looked good though and something I hadn't thought to try! ....

Can I ask if anyone has left comments on my blog? All my cards say 0 comments and yet I know some of the older ones did have comments on them? not sure if anyone posted comments on the latest ones when I got my mojo back though?

I picked up my parcel with my doily lace punch and promarkers in (some purples and oranges) and so I might go and make a card....

Silly question, does anyone have the metallic gold and silver promarker? and also a blending pen? is the blending pen worth it? or is that if you use them as watercolours rather than just plain old colouring in?

There was something else I needed to say but have now forgotten?

PLM the pictures on your blog are they from the Martha stewart website? I wouldn't mind making a cinnamon candle for my mum for christmas (age old tradition to buy her a candle and a bauble every year, but this year I am thinking I might go all out and make one of each ... if I am clever enough!

There's a link under the pics Rusty that take you directly to where I found them Yes, it was the Martha Stewart website. Have you thought about making your mum a bauble like I made last year with a picture of the kids in?

Promarker Blender.. Can't comment because I don't have one. A lot of people say they are a waste of time though because you can blend colours in by doing your two different tones and then going over them both with the lighter colour. I know that with the blender pen you can put patterns into your colours though because it works as a sort of 'bleacher'.

Don't tell anyone but I just tried to use my inkpad as a mouse..

Thanks, I am following it anyway so will have a look later on. Not sure about the bauble? I don't remember seeing yours? Do you have a link? or a picture please?

Don't think I will bother with the blender then. Not sure I will need one but just wanted to make sure so to speak. I am still new to these fancy pen things!
