Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Soma

hmmm I would say promarkers is stash cos it would be when you first bought it - it's a toughie. Its your stash ban so its your interpretation. I once ran out of my 2 copics - a skin colour and fur colour when I was broke. It forced me to use decoupage sheets that I hadn't used in ages which I kind of think is the point of the diet to make use of your neglected stash. However your stamps would then be neglected if you couldn't colour in...

here's a thread explaining daily clicks

Thanks ladies for all your wishes - OH and I decided that it would be better if the kids didn't go to the funeral - so I stayed at home with them. Elliot is still quite grizzly and definately wouldn't sit still through the service. OH's suit that we ordered from the catalogue turned up this morning after he'd left - typical - but he managed to pick up a really nice one yesterday from Matalan.
I was very tempted to spend last night at Bunny Zoe's Crafts but I resisted - I wasn't being that good as I'd ordered loads of flowers on Weds and they came this morning!!!

Rusty - huge congratulations to your OH - mine keeps saying that he wants to learn. Your teacher's gifts are fabulous - I bet they'll be chuffed to bits with them. Your desk doesn't look too messy to me - you should see the state of mine when the oH is out - that's when I really let loose!!!!

Giggle - I didn't realise they were bath pearls - they seemed bigger!!! The red,cream, black silicone cases sound fab!

KMS26 - your items for your pamper hamper look great - are they all going in the pretty pinkbag? Your cards are lovely - really nice colours!

Flourgirl - gorgeous xmas cards - I really should make a start on mine! Your fluffly stuff looks very effective - is it easy to apply?

Rainmac - I got the Lady Tilda, Simsilabam (or something like that) and the princess kissing the frog one!! I'm not so keen on their latest releases although I think I'll be getting the mermaid one - the papers are nice though.

Ct19720 - here is the blog with the mint/green challenge!

Congratulations Ali!!!!

Wanna-b-rich - your pirate card is stunning!!! Did you make the pins yourself - I love the colours?

Soma - gorgeous wedding card - the colours are stunning!

Artydoll - great xmas card - love the shiny star!!

Helloooo, flying lunch break visit Tomsmum - yay my digi choices have arrived this morning just opened the email.
Artydoll - dont see why not it has stars and I am sure Santa flys above the atmosphere;-)

TomsMom Ooh I remember that embossing folder - well done on getting it so cheaply and so quickly.

Thanks Soma you've got me intrigued now. I've just PMd Eagerlearner for the guide - free money is it possible? and why didn't i know this before now?!?! Oh no I've a feeling it could be addictive.

Melissa the challenge blog for the chocolate and mint challenge has some really lovely cards on it.

I need 2 new Promarkers as mine are running out, this isn't classed as stash it is cos it's replacing what I already own?

I've not joined in the stash ban but I would have said that something like this where you are replacing something like a promarker that has just run out would be allowed. If not what extreme are you taking it to. You could say no card blanks as everyone has card they could fold their own with etc ....

Out of interest what two colours are they that you have run out of?

takes a while for the money to build up tho - I tend to average about £1 per day at the moment. More money for stash

Melissa the fluffy stuff was really easy to use and not messy. It looks like PVA and you apply straight from the bottle, it has a really fine nozzle. When you heat it with a heat gun it fluffs up, then just leave it to go cold and set. I sprinkled some holographic glitter on before drying it just to give it some sparkle.

Rainmac you should have email

flourgirl

Does anyone know where I can get some good quality 6x6 envelopes please

I'm definately not joining the stash ban, but would also agree with Tomsmum that replacing something you clearly use frequently is allowed.

Melissa - I did indeed make the pins myself, they are really quick and easy to make and I love the fact that i can co-ordinate them with my project. I'm currently trying to make paper beads, so watch this space!!:rotfl:

I'm sooooooo excited, just my booked my holiday for Florida next year. Virgin have slashed their prices this morning, so decided not to gamble that the prices will go even lower and bit the bullet and booked.:j

I've bought them - Blush and Sandstone. I actually didn't think they would ever wear out but they obviously do.

I also need to fee up that I bought some digis this week , I sort of didn't even think of them as stash when I bought them as no parcels arrived at my house . I bought them (4 of them) with money made through selling on ebay so they are basically free and as they are saved on my PC and not added to my piles of physical stash I think that's ok .

Just blogged about 6 cards, phew taken me ages x
