Question for Glittermum or anyone with Nellie's Multiframes

I had my early birthday present from my DD come through the post today :j, two of the Nellies multiframe dies. Ermmmmmmmmmmm, how do I use them .

I've googled but there's not much out there, not even on Nellie's website as the multiframe link doesn't have English, just pictures. It shows in pics 1 and 2 cutting with a craft knife to separate the round one into three circles. Pics 8 and 9 show different mats and frames. I'm probably being thick but do I use one of the circles to get the mats in pic 8 and two of the frames to get the frames in pic 9.

Anything I should know before I open the packets and spoil my new toys?

I've got the square ones you need to seperate them and then you use them like nesties on you can put them together to get the different shapes hth

Have been really busy this week and haven’t had a chance to make any cards:mad:

Thanks to whoever it was for letting us know about the free paper pad in Feb’s issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft – I’ve just managed to get hold of a copy from our local Sainsbury’s, and the papers are fab:T

Fantastic cards OAP, the images are fab and so are the colours that you have chosen for the actual cards.

Sorry to hear about your DSs Rainmac – hope the antibiotics start to kick in and they start to feel better soon.

Welcome to the thread Jigga1985.

Craftygranny – hope everything goes well for Carly on the 15th and 16th of Feb. Wow, what a crafty stash you have. It puts my basket of bits in the corner of the lounge to shame!

Mary – great news about your OH.

Sally – hope your OHs sciatica starts to ease off soon.

Well done on doing the ironing Thrifty – I had to make the choice between crafting and ironing on Sunday, and the ironing one. When I finally got to the bottom of the basket I realised that it had been at least 4 weeks since I did any! Great cards too.

Flourgirl and Rusty – good luck with software for the silhouette and craft robo, I think it does take a while to get used to how it works, from seeing my OH use it, and wish it came with simple step by step instructions, so I have a hope of learning it, but as Flourgirl has found the craft robo instruction guide are a bit pants. Can’t wait to see what you make.

Flourgirl love the name cards you did, they look fab, and may have a go at doing one over the weekend for a friends daughter.

CT could you please tell me where you got the butterfly die from, there are so many to choose from, but I loved the one on your cards. Thanks

Popkins you must have got some fab bargains from Boots, I'm going shopping tomorrow in Leeds so I will call in and have a look. Could do with a couple of things for birthdays coming up.

I am also going to IKEA tomorrow for the very first time, is there anything in particular thats a bargain. Is it nice for eating there?

Hi Flourgirl, the butterflies on my cards aren't dies, but done by my OH on the craft robo. He found a basic butterfly image from the web (although I don't know where from) and made some modifications to it using coral draw and just cut them out with the craft robo to produce the ones that I have been using on my cards recently.

Ikea have a great restaurant and the diam cake is lovely.

helo everyone.
I've been relegated to 'glamorous assistant' this evening. I was about to send "&son" up to bed and he said 'but you can't - I have to make some cards for charity' . He wanted to make 20 tonight but I've kept him to 10 he'll have to do the rest tomorrow as I'm exhausted and its WAY past his bedtime already.!
