Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

craftgirl1960

Hi everyone!

I need some help! I have been asked to make up 40 tags to attach to party bags with a little note to say thank you, I thought it would be straight forward but the ones I've drafted look so basic! Has anyone got any templates / ideas?
Thanks in advance x

thats lucky, makes it a bit cheaper too!

It's all so confusing!!! I wish it was more straightforward!!! I was going to order a few dies online but they were on offer last week and now they aren't! I will go to the store and see if they have similar there as I have a few 50% off vouchers this week. Shame they don't sell Nesties instore though.

LMAO 'card making mojo'..........love it! :T:T:T:rotfl::rotfl: It actually even extended to gift tag mojo too, they were to decorate our tree pressie for their wedding, everyone in the group wrote a message on a tag and hung it in the little sapling

craftfairies have you ever tried to run one of the Bigz dies through the Wizard, I was looking at the Tim Holtz flower die and wondered if it would go through. It's a lot of money if it won't work.

craftfairies

can you use normal sizzix dies in the wizard? if so then its just a case of the width of the opening, the bigz dies measure approx 15cm x 14cm if that is any help

craftfairies, I haven't got any sizzix dies now, I gave them to my grandaughters with my original Big Shot and sadly they don't live close. I was hoping it was something you might have tried.

Thanks PONR and Addams for the info. I bought my mat, and now I can't wait to try!

This is the Sew Easy. Only available on QVC UK at the moment. I have a paper piercing tool that I haven't even tried yet, but I loved this - it makes a variety of patterns with just the one head, and it has four!

There was something else I was going to post about but I've forgotten now. Oops.

Don't think I can check blogs this evening, I have headache and need an early night. I will check everyone's tomorrow I promise - I have some cards to blog too.

Take care everyone - Night all. xxx
