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

jamtart6

Hi guys! Just dipping in quickly to ask what is the quality of card like from craftsuperstore?
i am after these:
http://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/Crafts/Card-Blanks/Square-Card-Blanks-and-Envelopes/White/sc1519/p7434.aspx

but want them to look like quite good quality. Never order from here before, any idea about quality and delivery time?

thanks in advance

actually, there are other things Im stuck with (wedding invites yay!) so I've posted a little post on my blog if anyone can help I'd be so grateful

Oooh fabby idea Marg

I cant remember who it belongs to either. But i have it saved in my cardies blogs. So it must be someone who used to come on here..
Her names Laura to if that rings bells for anyone ?

I think the lady who owns that blog has a hubby in the army (I vaguely remember her craft area being small because she is in married quarters?) but I may well have mixed her up with someone else - does this ring any bells with anyone else?

jamtart - never ordered what you're wanting but recently did order some scrapbook paper........good quality and came within 3 days or ordering which I thought was good. Hope that helps

Sally - that's great news about your OH!!!!

Marg - thanks for idea about the email!

Mad-frog - I might try decorating a candle then - I'll have to get some tissue paper - what pens did you use to colour in as I think my promarkers would just bleed.

Rusty - yes - that's the box - I had a look on splitcoaster too but couldn't find the instructions.

jammy - I ordered those recently and to be honest wasnt that impressed - they seem flimsier than the craftwork cards ones that I have (with the scalloped edge) hope that helps.

Think I have missed a page!
Thanks Tomsmum for the survival ideas.
I am sorry I have forgotten the rest!!!

OK thanks. I've not managed to sort out the embossing with the Thanks folder yet. However, I managed to use the Texturz plates and made a modified pad to create a plain circle in the centre of my embossed card. I've decided that I'm going to buy either a sheet of mounting card or some chipboard to make the pads with for the Texturz plates. Not too sure yet wether it will work the same for the embossing folder, but will have a play.
