Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

mooomin

I haven't been able to make any cards today - I've run out of card blanks :eek:

I'm also selling some bits and pieces on Ebay - mainly stamps from Kanban via QVC. If anyone's interested my ID on Ebay is the same as on here, feel free to take a look

Tomorrow Mr Fresian is going to take me to the local craft shop so I can buy some blanks. I need something to keep me out of mischief while I'm stuck on my sickbed...!

PONR- yo don't need the tan mat for embossing the nesties. You just take them out of the bug and run an embossing tool around the edge. Looks good and works out cheaper.

Thanks alot - but I am confused now - aren't Nesties dies so don't they just cut the shape with the indented edge on it??

Thanks Elysia good tip:T didn't mean to mislead you PONR sorry.

No problem Marg - I'm grateful for any help or hints as I am a complete novice and know nothing about Nesties and little about what else I can do on the bug!!!

Have been away this weekend - we went to Santa Cruz abit further South and on the coast. It was scorching hot and we didn't really go very prepared as we thought we were only going for the day!! We then decided we liked the place and booked a room right by the beach with fab views. We had a few bits with us but not much!!!! We walked miles on the beach paddling in the sea which was surprisingly cold and my feet were extremely sore afterwards with huge blisters on the bottom. The corn didn't give me any problems at all!!! I can hardly walk now and had to soak my feet in salted water last night! Yesterday we went on an old train and rode up into the Redwood Forest - the train goes through the middle of it and it was lovely to be in the forest and look up and the Redwood trees - they are so tall. Will post some pics on my blog later.

Congrats to the latest lot of winners.

Hope everyone is ok x

fifi - hope the shoulder feels better soon.

PONR - Sounds like a fab time. Hope your feet are feeling better today.

At the top of the front page, where you would search for what you're looking for from Ebay you should see an option to click Advanced Search. You can search for sellers there.

Hope that helps!
