Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

elysia2003

Hi everyone,

My lovely postman - OH (it really is!) bought me loads of goodies I'd ordered today! :j

I have three Sugar Nellie stamps, some more prima flowers, and Ikon promarkers. I have six of the sets but needed individual colours. I have baby pink, soft peach, apple, grass, blue pearl, and ice grey 1 and 2. There were others I wanted but they were sadly out of stock.

Irlip, I only created my blog about a fortnight ago, and as others have said, it really is simple. The bit I find difficult is linking my cards to challenges - but there again, my cards aren't quite up to standard yet.

I think my cards are ok, until I see everyone else's creations. I'm really struggling adding glitter and the nice bits that make a card special, as I'm quite a minimalist person. I'll get there in the end, I suppose.

Elysia - oh dear - your OH is your postman - there's no way that you can hide your splurges from him then!!!!

Irlrip - that's good - I always worry when I post a link to a site in case the site gives bad service - then I feel guilty!!!

PONR - Ohhh - I haven't got plum or oatmeal - I'll have to get them!!!

The-Wife - I craft on my coffee table in the lounge while sitting on the floor, I don't normally tend to craft when Elliot's awake because everything gets thrown on the floor, he picked a load of flowers off a finished card the other day - little darling!!!

Aw! Bless!

Thats the ebay seller I linked to a while back ... I have used them several times now and they are fab!

Does anyone know where I can buy glow in the dark Vinyl from? I have searched and can find it cheap on some websites but the postage is extortionate, and then on ebay it is £5+ a sheet!! :eek: Want to try and cut my own glow in the dark star wars figures!! ... Also anyone know if wilkos sell the glow in the dark stars which you stick on ceilings?

Know your busy today but have you checked your email? Don't think wilko's do sell glow in the dark stars don't in the store I work in anyway.

Rusty I am sure I have seen glow in the dark star shapes in a card shop, sorry but I can't remember which one

Elysia I wouldn't want my OH being my postman, he thinks I buy too much 'rubbish' as it is!

I have finished a couple of cards so will try and blog them later, I have just realised that I have seven projects on the go so need to get my finger out and finish them
