Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

THE-WIFE_3

JuJu, I bought the letters from here and the service was excellent. The size I bought was 8" and OH drilled two holes in each for the ribbons.

I received my High Tack DST and Stickles from Cardcraft-UK today. Nice quick service and the tape was cheap and free postage!!! DST was 49p a roll and it's the really narrow 3mm tape with the red backing ideal for sticking MS Doilly punchouts as just the right size.

PONR - is that the one based in Lancaster? I've been to the shop & never seen so many stamps! The lady in the shop was really helpful too, keeping a punch to one side for me till I could get up there and giving advice on guillotines. Will look out for the DS tape next time I go there.

Yes Marg - that's the one!! The lady also sent me several emails to keep me informed about my order and told me when it had been despatched. I like companies that do that!!!! You had to buy 10 rolls of tape to get it for that price but I use it all the time so it was worth it for me!!

Sorry ladies in advance for my mammoth post!

Nunnygirl - hi and welcome to the thread!

Artydoll - thanks for being kind about my blog! Sounds like you've got some great goodies!!!! I love your son's card - it really made me giggle!!!! Your Magnolia card is gorgeous - the flowers match the papers perfectly!!!!

Soma - Your card is so pretty - I love the cute red hearts!

CT19720 - Jack's card is fabulous - I love the daisy embossing!

Dragonllew - congratulations on your promotion!!!!

Wanna-b-rich - crikey - you did get a bargain! I think the corner chomper alone is normally a bit more than you paid for the two! Did you manage to get your card finished?

Giggle - wow £200 - what a fab amount - I bet you were really chuffed!!!!

Pointofnoreturn - sorry to hear about your poorly foot!

Bunbun - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I'm not surprised your stationery box took so long to make - it was fabulous!

Flourgirl - I hope Willow (I love her name!) has a great party!

Rusty - sorry to hear that you've had a rubbish day - I hope tomorrow is better for you!

Oh - I finally got round to making that chocolate and mint card - its on my blog!

Soma

You can get the corner chomper from here if that's any help

My ears were burning! (OK, I've been caught lurking! ) Did someone mention the Corner Chomper? I've got the one they are selling on QVC at the moment - on sale at £10.23 plus £3.45 postage.

Bah! Link won't work! Item No 588789

(Go into top right hand corner search box and put item no in, that works!)

Hi Elysia

When you have found a challenge that you want to enter you need to go to their blog site

Open your blog up and go to the post that you want to put a link to a challenge blog in. Type out the name of the Challenge say MSE 'Out of this World'. Highlight MSE 'Out of this World' (either with the mouse or the shift and arrow to the right button) and then click the link button within your post. It is the one that is just before the Align left button and before the capital T with some coloured squard to the right of it.

Now go into the challenge tab that you have open and copy the website address (will begin http://) and go back you the post within your blog and paste this address into the hyperlink box that should still be open in this page. The press OK.

Now go back into the challenge blog and somewhere under all the DT cards, there will be a button called 'Add your Link'. Click this button, and go back into your blog post, and copy the address (http://) and past it under URL on the challenge blog, type your name and email address (the email address won't show on the link to your card) as requested and then click next step, when all three boxes above it have been completed. Then hey presto, your card to the challenge will appear on the challenge blog.

Hope this makes sense to you if not let me know and I will try to explain it another way.

Thanks so much for your help. I think I have managed it! Your instructions were easy to understand, it was just me. It's not my best card, but it's all part of the fun.

Flourgirl happy birthday to your lovely granddaughter!

Ponr hope you can get seen before your appt. Sounds painful!

Soma all of last week I was making between 2 and 6 cards a day! Once my mojo has gone nothing can bring it back! Not even trying to make one for a challenge, infect that makes me more stressed if I try!

Bunbun can't wait to see the toy room on Thursday! Shame you are making it into a computer room as it would make a fab craft room for you! If youdont get it finished I can help on Thursday!

Rainmac hope the weather has changed for you from yesterday?

My mum called earlier, her fill has been rushed from respite to hospital, it's not looking good for him, seems like a lovely bloke but never met him, I know how upset my stepdad was when my grandad died so I dread to think what he will be like if it happens to his own dad!

It appears mojo has been replaced with insomnia and restless legs! Grrr!

Would people print out images on their computer if I was to stamp mine? Sounds silly but someone (not naming names) emailed me some lovely images last week and I can print them out over and over again, just wondered if it would be something that others would use? I have a massive box of stamps so. Ot sure? Let me know what you think!

Going to have a mosey on bay ... Let's hope I don't spot any bargains!
