Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

jowri

Morning,

hello everyone, I have had a lovely weekend and am just upstairs playing with my hougie board, so far I have made a tealight candle box, 2-4-6-8 bags ( which took minutes) , a tri fold shutter card and a springy diamond card, i absolutely love it, We aret just having an easy day at home today the children are playing and I have escaped up here, I should be doing hw but that can wait until tomorrow,
I went to a stampin up party yesterday and ordered the two step bird punch I could have spent much more but was being good after spree I had in Traceys on Saturday,

will be back later

No post here yet :rotfl: Can't wait to see the magazine. Can't start doing everything until I get all my bits and bobs together.
Ordered Promarkers last night 2 sets and a pack of five so 25 to get me started and ordered ink. Need to get an acrylic block but couldn't get a big one at Joanna Sheen so will need to look around.

Still need card, papers etc. but want to wait and see the colours of the Promarkers in the flesh!

Help! I have had a request for a 20th wedding anniversary card (theme is China), anyone got any ideas? I'd really like to incorporate the china theme but I am fresh out of inspiration!

You could do a plate and plate stand card

ponr I get mine from here i have all the colours and they are really good i love them . They are kind of like a tiny acrylic pebble. Fab in the centre of flowers too.

Thanks for the link - that website also has an ebay shop here and they work out cheaper as the postage is 80p for the first item and 10p for each additional item. Dew Dots are 99p in her ebay shop!!!! Off to order a few colours now!!! Thank you CG!!!

Carmim - I wasn't sure whether by China it was meant the place. :rotfl:

Melissa - I haven't received my mememto ink pad yet.

Irlip - Well done, you sound as addicted as us!

I did something silly. I loved that Tilda with the peony's so much I had placed a bid on one on eBay and forgot. I won it over the weekend so now I have two of the same image! :rotfl:

Gemma - the thing that come to mind for me are pretty cups & saucers, I'm sure I've seem digis like that you could then go to town & decorate them really prettily & add a cupcake or two - I'll see if I can find something.

Well Done on your sales Rusty - a good excuse to break your stash ban?

"I went to a crafter's wedding recently and sat on a table with a laod of cardmakers to eat our meal. There were loads of these posh crystal gems scattered on the table. The significant word is 'were' as the gems were soon stashed in out handbags. Now thats sad!"

Soma Not sad at all I'd have done the same!!:rotfl::rotfl:

PONR - thanks for further dew drop info

elysia - that's the sort of thing that happens to me! Can you put it back on ebay?

A nice filligree cup and saucer - maybe there is a template for one around that you can cut on your machine!!!
