Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Gemm85

fabulous makes melissa and louby!! :T

rusty - I too placed an order at crafts u love on saturday (embossing folder and some lacy ribbon) and mine's still in transit, I never get a dispatch email from them, I find they are usually quite slow on postage but saying that I only order from them when they have free shipping so serves me right I suppose :rotfl:

ooh lookee here - I just can't resist those!

Hi everyone, collected my parcel from the post office after work today, I have Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety, Material Girl, Joy Ride and MME Bloom and Grow and they are all gorgeous, can't wait until I have some more time next week so I can play.

Melissa75 What are those lovely MME papers you have made on your card?

Paddington Thanks for those digital images

Can anyone with a blog tell me how I add links on a post i.e if I want to say wildorchidcrafts can any of you lovely ladies explain to numpty how to do it please?

madfrog you need to use this code:

<a href="LINK">TEXT</a>

replace the word LINK (keep the speechmarks) with your link and the word TEXT with what you want the hyperlink to say (e.g. My Blog)

Mad-Frog - they're from their new "Quite Contrary" range - I got the papers from here - the site is running a free postage promotion at the minute if you spend over £5 - I'm tempted to get more sheets for when I use these up!!!

Evening all - ooh I sound like a policeman:) hope you are all ok - not too much to catch up on after work & before I go in the bath...(phew)
I ordered from crafts u love at the weekend and my stamp came yesterday - no dispatch info though it just arrived I was also a bit miffed as it still had the price sticker on of £6.49and I had paid £7.49 being all MSE I emailed to see if had been overcharged - but they said I must have a mispriced one because all others are marked at the price I paid... hmm.

Dragonllew - replied to your email over at craftyplace re: the card swap:)
padster - thanks for the freebie links!!
sally - what a nightmare - hopefully you will get your money.
gemm - hope your scorpal comes tomorrow.
glittermum -oh how lovely - enjoy Mamma Mia - I bet it is great live!!

Had a little blog hop - and left messages - there are some lovely makes out there:T

Hi All, gosh 10 pages takes some reading and my brain isn't really connected at the mo. DD started with sicky bug at midnight on Wednesday and not alot of sleep has been had since then, just alot of washing! Fingers crossed no one else has got it yet. Not had chance to make anymore cards but have managed to get some bits done for party bags. DD is having a Princess Party for her 4th birthday, thankfully a week tomorrow and not tomorrow.

I've managed to have a very quick look at blogs and some really lovely stuff, can't leave comments I'm afraid as I don't have a URL.

Went to a workshop on stamping techniques on Tuesday which was good. We had a go at bleaching, wax resist and rock and roll (different colour around the outside). The lady mentioned about having to use different types of stamp pads if using promarkers. I'm still at the point of not knowing really want I need to buy and wondered what pads you all use with your promarkers, also do you have to have special ink in your printers if printing off digi stamps to then colour in with promarkers.

Right off to wrap a pass the parcel, have good Friday nights.

Just spent 2 hours in the bath - so am a bit more wrinkly than usual - my book was just too good to put down lol!

Madfrog - if you're doing a link within your blog post you just click the link button like you do on here - think it's a green globey thing and paste the page you want to go to in the pop up.

Gemma - that eyelash stuff looks like eyelash knitting yarn - you can ofter pick some up for about 70p a ball in wilkos or poundstrecher or instore or whatever its called.

Hi everyone, my sister-in-law had a baby boy today, I feel an excuse for card making coming on! Does anyone have any ideas, bearing in mind my supplies are very limited at the mo? Going to head out shoppingg tomorrow to get some blue ribbon and what ever else I can find.
