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

paddingtondoo

Evening all!
Had a great day at work NOT! Someone reckoned the bin men had refused to empty her bin and wheeled it from the alley at the side of her house to block her front door so she couldn't get out .

Can't remember who was after an engagement card image but have you seen these. How cute are they?

Fantastic news Flourgirl and Sally
Rusty - could you try running some of the paper flowers through an embossing folder?

Sorry I shouldn't laugh but I am the kind of person who used to do things like that when I worked on the bins ... Mainly after I had emptied the bin though just to annoy those who used to annoy me :rotfl:

Never thought about embossing them myself ... maybe I should have a try as I have enough flowers to fill a meadow!! thankyou for the idea!

Rusty Just wondered if your Craftwork cards order came ? Only reason was mine came today and it had been held up as something had gone out of stock.. They sent me a nice freebie for the wait I'm also a gold card member so girlies at the NEC write your lists Its 10 % off

My order arrived today too - I rang them yesterday to see what was going on because it had been over a week and it didn't look like anything had been done with it at all. I got 10 acetate frames as a freebie to say sorry. I think they're in a bit of a pickle at the mo because they're moving premises . There's a sale at their warehouse in Stourton on the 6th of Feb.
Which is obviously when I'm away. Harumph!

Evening all, just having a catch-up. Not much crafting going on here as I spent the afternoon stripping - stripping paint that is :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hope everyone is well, hugs to any poorlies out there.

Lyndach – lovely cards. You are just like me, my workstation is the kitchen table as well lol. Our kitchen's not as nice as yours tho'
Melissa75 – congrats on your blog candy.
Popkins – what a fab illustration.
Lei – thinking of you and Gran today
Wifey – I'd love to join in a card swap on CP
Flourgirl – Best wishes for your Dad today. Your DH sounds like mine. I pack him off on his 'puter as much as poss.... keeps him quiet and out my hair
OAP1945 – found your blog now, beautiful cards.
Sh3ri3 – lovely Me to You cards on your blog
Flourgirl – beautiful lilac birthday card for your niece
Rusty and Bunbun – good shopping trip methinks
Loved all the baby chit-chat, although I'm well past that stage well I'd better be :eek:
Sorry, if I've missed anyone out - am loving all the crafty creations on your blogs by the way. Am off now to try to find a sketch challenge to enter. Haven't made a card since Monday and am getting withdrawal symptoms.
Ooooh, before I go - was placing an "MSE essentials only" order on Glitter Pot - white card, eze-mount, dst - you know the sort of thing and what should fall into my basket but some Basic Grey Sugar Rush paper - don't know how it got there :whistle:

Take care all, Thriftyxxx

Mary, so sorry about your mum's friend xxx

Flourgirl, great news about your dad coming home soon

OAP, I feel oh so cheeky now , would love a few stamped boys if that's ok with you xxx

Choccy, are you saying we can get 10% off at Craftwork Cards at the NEC if you pay for our stuff :j LOVE YOU!!! Make sure you bring that card

Rusty/Bunbun, I am so jealous that you get to meet up and shop/craft together. Wish I lived nearer so I could join in.

Popkins, I love that pic of you and your OH, it's so beautiful x

Mine hasn't arrived!! although do you get a dispatch email from them?? reason I ask is that a courier has tried to deliver something today whilst I was out, but I thought it might have been my robo?? but OH said he hasn't had a dispatch email about that? ....

What was your freebie?? ... how does the gold card thingy work? is it physically a card to put in your purse?? cause it said I qualified for that?


Oooh something else ... we went in poundland today and got 3 x BIG bags of paper flowers, they are almost like they have been punched so they are cardstock and you get loads in a pack, again bunbun and I shared them :rotfl: and we got 1 x deep purple and light purple, 1 x white and cream, 1 x pink and reddy pink. Not bad for a £

I didnt get a dispatch email from them. Although my parcel came by Royal Mail.. So may of been your robo :j

Freebie was a pack of handbag greetings ( rather cute actually )

Yes its a proper gold card You can show it at exhibitions to get a free gift. 10 % off online orders or 10 % off other purchases, show it at the stall. Along with a free weekend pass to Great Northern Papercrafts Extravaganza ( whenever that is) Plus i have lots of strokeable stash :rotfl:

Popkins - Love the picture!! that is impressive!! How much did it cost you to have it done? Did you just order it through her email address or something?

Also whilst I am here if anyone is looking for reasonably priced storage for stuff then HObbycraft have 20% off their reasonably priced boxes, I picked up 4 whilst there with bunbun today! .... their 12x12 boxes (7 litre) work out at £5.19 each!!)

Hiya Rusty - thanks I've been trying to come up with a valentin card design using the picutre!! It was £13 and you get emailed 3 versions - one in colour, one in b&w and one in sepia - and yes you just order it by emailing SJ attaching the photo you want copying - she's really quick - I got mine back within a day I think!!

Oooooh PINK storage is very exciting but I CANNOT allow myself anywhere near Hobbycraft - its the devil's den!!!! and I am weak when I go in there!!! :rotfl:

thankyou everyone for your lovely comments about my picture!!
