Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Question......What's the third thing you do when you come back home from a fabulous weekend wedding?

Answer ........Catch up one here!....... It's taken me ages there were so many pages and I'm sorry I can't post individual replies I've got to unpack & get my act together for work tomorrow. (& maybe try a bit of a catch up on blogs)

:wave:Welcome back to all the returnees
:wave:Welcome newbies
:jCongratulations to our winners
Tut tut! to all who've fallen off the stash wagon! Enjoy your goodies.:rotfl:
:TThank you to all who've posted freebies
Have a fab time all going on holidays :beer:

Oh & first two things we did when we got back were put the kettle on for a brew & go & collect the cats. (cattery lady sort of told us off by telling us how much fur she'd groomed from them both, implying we weren't doing it enough or properly. :o)

B*gger, I hope not otherwise mine isn't going to get very fluffy

Thank you for the lovely comments on my black and grey card, it's very not me but I do quite like it.

Rainmac I have just tried some fluffy stuf with my hairdryer and it didn't work so I guess you will need a heat gun. But thats classed as essential tools for using stash..... isn't it ?

You do need a heat gun :mad:, do you reckon a hairdryer would work

Rainmac - I read somewhere that you could use a heat gun or a hair dryer - will to find where I read it!!!!

There are a few heat guns on ebay, like mine


I wonder if you are careful a paint stripping heat gun would work, if your DH has one.

Mmmm, it's space I have the biggest problem with, maybe I should just forget it and use lots of glitter instead

I know this is off topic but look here I was well chuffed and it was delicious

A hairdrier might not work as it blows too much. It might blow the fluffy stuff, off. A heat gun is hot but is less blustery if you see what I mean. I reckon a paint stripper heat gun would work but please be careful!

Hello everyone - sorry I've been away so long - my eyes went a bit wonky and I had to really cut down on pc usage at home given that I have to spend my whole day looking at a screen at work.
Fingers croseed they're a bit better now.
Sorry to anyone who is waiting for something from me - I have a pile of things to go to the PO tomorrow.
Haven't made much lately altho those of you from Facebook should be able to see the product lof last weeks labours - I made myself a Annie & Clarabel Costume to wear around town last Thursday evening.
Before I nip off wante to mention that Home Bargains have magnetic tape at the mo - 3m for 99p. Its the thin stuff (like cellotape) so wouldn't hold anything too heavy but is great for sticking pictures to the fridge or for using to store nesties.
ttfn - hope to be back soon

I hope you don't mind, I have another silly question.

I have a cuttlebug (not used as yet). I would like to buy some nestabilitie dies. Are they compatible? and do I need anything else to go with it?

Hi Ladies - I've had loads to catch up on! My Mum came up to visit today and is still here - so the kids are misbehaving because they're excited!! Plus OH decided to fit a new door to the bathroom (which is downstairs) which he had to plane down - so I've spent the afternoon sweeping up sawdust!! We're off out tomorrow for Elliot's birthday - we just can't decide where - its between Chester Zoo, Knowsley Safari Park or The Blue Planet Aquarium!!

The-Wife - your swap card is gorgeous - I love your bird stamp. I am intrigued by the scented embossing powder - how strong is it - it sounds fab? I am glad that you're finding my list useful!!!!!
