Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Thriftyscotslass - the mind boggles - battery acid on your tongue!!!! It must taste disgusting.

Rusty - they were from wildorchid. I ordered a bunch of roses ages ago from quixotic and I think they were meant to be 1 1/2cms and they were quite big that's why I ordered the 1 cm version this time. They are really pretty though - I ordered a couple of the mixed bags, trouble is at £2.50 postage I don't think I'll be ordering from them for a while. Your easter cards are lovely - I love how you've punched the corners - the glitter looks really pretty. Love that shiny card candy too. Hope your daughter feels better soon.

Rainmac - I might try and use them on a card first and see how I get along.

Sammr85 - good luck - hope you win! Your "thank you" card is lovely, it looks fab how you've stuck the sentiment on top of the flower. Your mother's day cards are great too!!!!

What a nightmare afternoon!! Spent just under 2 hours in the Dr's with DD. She has a nasty infection and is now on strong antibiotics, he said that he couldn't prescribe her any stronger ones!! :eek: I wouldn't mind but we were at the doctors yesterday and it went un noticed :mad: hopefully she will start picking up now!! thanks for all the well wishes!

Melissa - I am sure I ordered 15mm ones, I can send you a few of mine if you want? If they are the right size we could swap some?? Up to you?

Rainmac - Thanks, I entered purple and pink one in challenges, 10 on the pink :eek: and 8 on the purple :eek: :rotfl: I saw your comment, I didn't even look at which challenges you had entered, I got all the challenges off Pollys blog! :rotfl: slightly cheating but less time consuming!

I have just looked on my blog reader (I have started to use google reader and it is so much easier than the reader on blogspot!!) and I have 713 blog posts to catch up on :eek: Sorry but I have commented on Rainmacs but marked all the others as read as I can't comment on all of them and trying to find you ladies on here who have posted will be a nightmare!!!

Woohoo it is nearly NEC time!!

Dragonllew, Samm & Flourgirl, left comments on your beautiful cards!! xx

Popkins, lovely to see you back! hope you are looking after yourself and getting some more sleep? Could you use this template from belles and whistles? Is that the kind of thing you were looking for?

CT19720 - Good luck for tomorrow! x

Rusty - glad you have managed to get dd some antibs, hope they take effect soon

Popkins - glad to see you back

Soooo jealous of all you guys off to the NEC next week Maybe I could swim across the Irish Sea to join you.

Okay 'fess-up time...

Q: What do you get when you put duracell batteries instead of rechargeable batteries into your house phone?????
A: Acid dripping all over the mouth piece :eek:

My tongue is fine now thanks - my oh and dd have had hours of fun at my expense

Well I must write a good letter of complaint - sure has set people jumping around here. I've had two phonecalls today from the head social worker for adult disabilities and have been promised a phonecall from the Autism Unit manager tomorrow - so we shall see what tomorrow brings. I also have a reporter from the local paper on standby.

Way to go Thrifty :dance: Hope this spells good news for your campaign...

Hi all, been really busy the last couple of days so haven't managed to come on here but promise to catch up tomorrow. A friend of mine came over today for coffee and I was telling her that I had started to make cards. It turns out she was into it a few years ago and she had quite a few old magazines that she has lent me so I am really excited now to get some more inspiration and learn a bit more. She has also given me a couple of stamps to try and an embossing tool thing (sorry dont know proper name for it) and see if I get on with them.

Really jealous of all of you going to NEC, if I had realised before that you could have done it with tesco vouchers I would have probably gone. Mind you, just as well as cant afford to buy anything at the moment anyway

Go Thrifty Go Thrifty :T
Hi All - seems like you've had a kind of better day than yesterday.

I got a card order today from someone at work :j plus she doesn't know exactly what she wants so will probably mean I can get my furry bear mojo back out :rotfl:.
Am feeling smug today - boss had a go at me on the phone this morning but it backfired on her when she needed me to help her later - came over all dim (wasn't too much of a struggle:p)

Have posted my X-stitch progress on my blog - OH thinks I'm really daft coz it's not finished
