Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

hogshead

Wow ladies you can rabbit rabbit rabbit.
I have skim read & sure to have missed lots of interesting info, sorry.
Have bought a few goodies of late but looking for flat backed gems. I know one of you buys in bulk from ebay so will search that but what do you find best to stick them down with onto card?

Gemma - the nails look great

Europa - If you want more cuttiing out, have you considered a craft robo. I dont have one, but there are a few on here who do, who may be able to tell you if its what you want.

Well done winners

A shiny new thread would be great!

Rusty hugs hope you are feeling better

Wanna B can you let me know where you got the bloomer ribbon in gold and black... I need them

I am trying to upload all my holiday photos on the computer, I bought a book on how to use the camera a few days before we went away, maybe by next year I will know how to use the camera and edit the photos

Have been staring at my haloween papers in the hope of some inspiration to make something but I think my mojo has deserted me

Have finally got blogger to work so am off for a blog hop, have the hygenist today and dentist for two fillings tomorrow

I use anita's sticky glue to stick my flat back gems etc .

Rusty and our other winner huge congrats on your wins.

oooh all this talk of spending i think i'm going to close my ears.

I spent a fortune last night and it's all rainmacs fault rofl . I was looking at a card on her blog with a lovely image from elzybells and even though i bought loads when the sale first started i bought lots more last night.

Thanks Elysia and Tomsmum :j

Rainmac - Missed your message, I mentioned to OH on sunday that I couldn't remember if you had MS or ME, I knew it was one of them!! I hope you don't mind that I used you as having a normal life (normal? lol you are crazy ) xxx

Well done to the other winner

I am cooking cottage pie, so I can be lazy tonight and chuck it in the oven!! I am so tired so hoping this will help!

Crazy, speak for yourself missus, ok then, I am a bit crazy But seriously, if you or your OH have any questions you know I'll be more than happy to help. I was diagnosed when I was 20 so have had 15 years of getting used to it xxx

I'm coming to yours for tea if you're having cottage pie, not sure what we're having, it's going to be a chaotic affair as it's karate night and then I have a preschool meeting more or less straight after that. Was thinking of making pizzas with ciabatta loaves as I have the ingredients, can prep it before karate and it won't need much in the way of cooking once we're back. May have to scoff mine in the car on the way to the meeting

My neighbour came and told me about the TSV today, I like the look of it but was disappinted that you still have to do your own sewing - am I asking too much from £20 I wonder? I have a paper piercer and some stitching templates which do more or less the same thing just takes a bit longer as you pierce each hole individually so I have opted not to order it :A

Done boring cleaning today and have boring meeting tonight, no crafting for me, been a few days now, getting withdrawl symptoms...

I used to use a glue pen to stick gems on with but then someone can't remember who reccommended micro glue dots and I have to say they are fab you just put the gem on the sheet of glue dots and lift it back off and place where you want it heres the link for the ones I bought. I usually buy nail gems off ebay to use as you get a selection of colours and they come in a wheel.

Elysia thanks my card arrived today its lovely, I posted yours today.
Craftygranny posted your ATC today and KMS finally sorted your stash and posted it.

Can'y believe we need a new thread again lol changing the names sounds great Savvy

craftygranny
