Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

THE-WIFE_3

Jellybaby Createandcraft tv have a pretty cool Cuttlebug offer with lots of stuff to help you get started for £89.00 included was a paper cutter, card, 4-5 small embossing folders, a small scallop square die, card and envelopes 3 pairs of scissors. This should get you going and have a look here at Ikki's blog. What Ikki doesn't know about using a Cuttlebug ain't written! Lots of the lovely people on here have either the Cuttlebug or the Big Shot and I think I'm the only one with a Wizard. Most cutting dies work in most of the machines.

If you want more cutting dies check out the craftsulove website. Anymore questions, please don't be afraid to ask as we are all helpful and always tell about a bargain, freebie or special offers

Rusty, I've got one of these and one of these and two of these, Me personally I think they are fab as I have them to suit the boxes I originally bought. I've labelled them up so as to find stuff easily, you know......... rubbish, waste, what on earth made you buy that, you'll never use it in a million years and ribbons!

The wife i have one of those boxes (what on earth made you buy that, you'll never use it in a million years) It's quite full it'll be off to nursery in sept . They love the stamps i took so they can get started on this stuff next.

Can anyone tell me why i have a 12" x 12" cube stuffed full of card blanks especially a6 ones and i almost never use them. ( anyone make use of a few). It weighs a ton i can't lift it.

Rusty thomas's room sounds fab. no wonder he's pleased.

Artydoll , just wanted to say a huge thank you for the beautiful gift you sent me it's fab . I've had my daughters children all day as they move house tomorrow. Carly was my assistant and couldn't get the paper off fast enough. Then she sat stroking it shouting oh wow oh wow. when i asked if i could look she said it's carly carly's . She sat next to me and sat with it over her for ages she doesn't normally sit still .
She went to a beach party this afternoon and took it with her lol. when she came back she used it on her and Kaitlyn and kobie . I thought i might have got it back when she went home but she hid it under her brothers pram and her mum said she took it up to bed with her and was fast asleep snuggling it. bless her. I have some pics of them this afternoon i'll blog them later on.

keep your eyes peeled everyone I'll be posting something special on my blog shortly ....

Thank you!
I just entered, and I posted a link to it from my blog also


On another note, I have just blogged 2 more cards, one of which I am not really happy with, though it does look better in real life.

And I meant to post my finished Christmas cards here a few days ago but I forgot LOL
I would post them on my blog but my family and friends read it so I don't want them seeing it before they actually get it lol.
This year everyone is getting the same card, {though each one has a different coloured gem on it}, and this year I am keeping it simple, after last years took forever to make lol

Edit... Scrap that, my pics didn't turn out well, stupid camera. That's what happens when you make a really simple card and emboss on to white.

I'll try to get a better pic of them later after I've played with my camera settings a bit lol

Hopefully my first stamp will arrive tomorrow but I have no ink yet.

For starting is black the best to get?

Has anyone heard of Mags Craft in doncaster? has anyone seen them at a show. I bought a kit off them to make a wedding card and i have only just opened it and it is missing the decoupage sheet but it was months ago now that i bought it. When i can find the pic i took of one on the stall i can show you what it is ment to look like. But it is a sort of box card with a heart shape cut out. They were selling templates, kits and card on there own.
They don't have a website but i have found an email adress so i may drop them a message.

Morning ladies!

It has somehow escaped my notice that we are off to France on hols next week - and that DS1 only has a couple of pairs of shorts that fit him so I've now got the joys of attempting to find him shorts in shops that are now full of winter clothes!

Looks like a nice day down here today - hope everyone else enjoys their Sunday x
