Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

RustyFlange

Paddington- You get worse :rotfl: love the voodoo teddy!! Hope your MIL gets better soon! We don't need anymore bad luck on this thread

Melissa - Hope you get the problems sorted with the school!

Choccy - Glad you got some antibiotics, hope they start to work and clear it up!

Giggle - Sorry to hear of your loss, I can't belive that is 3 of us in 3 days

Thrifty - Love this - not sure my back is up to it though?

Rainmac - Thanks for updating the NEC amount!! I best get cracking, although I am afraid I am not excited in the least I have nothing on my NEC list other than some of the diecut lili of the valley sheets!! ... and I have loads of money to spend! what am I going to do?

Wanna-be-rich - I know what you are saying, I am struggling at the minute, I look like I have been dragged through a hedge, but figure it doesn't matter as long as the kids are presentable etc!!

Lei - Last year I forgot to take any cash, I paid for most things by card, including orders between 4 of us and the girls paid me in cash so I had a little bit, most of the stalls do have card facilities!

I didn't get on last night, I sat and pur ribbons around 45 cards last night and now have sore fingers!! I managed to get a full nights sleep!! :j so feeling a bit better today but not a lot!! .... need to get the rest of the ribbons on these invites and then make a start on the other 77 peel offs!! I hate them :mad: Is there an easy way to do peel offs?

Rusty - I find the best way to use peel-offs is to peel off the outer bit first, so you're only left with the bits you use still stuck to the sheet IYKWIM. It's easier then to peel them off, and then I use a ruler to line them up before sticking them on the card. HTH x

DD just emailed me to say that someone else has bought a load of home-made cards into work today and put them in the same box as mine - but they're selling them for 60p!! I don't know what they're like, but I don't suppose it's worth me sending any more in now. I thought I was giving them away at £1!

Will catch up with blogs later - off to do some voluntary work for a few hours now.

Wow never thought of that!! Thanks!!

Your DD needs to take the cards out of your box!! At the end of the day if she is selling them for 60p each then they can't be as nice as yours!! I bet some of yours will still sell!! Think positive! x

As Rusty says, get your DD to put them in separate boxes. Don't lower your price, I bet the others are worth just 60p and yours are worth far more than £1 and people will see the difference!

JHB, was it your box you supplied 'cos if it was, well that's a darn cheek. Yours will sell as we all know your lovely makes and to be honest is there much on the cards for 60p?

I just had a look on your web site and it is your box, ask DD if she will kindly take the other cards out and put them behind your box, so that yours are seen first. It never ceases to amaze me the gall of some people.

JHB - I agree with Toms Mum & The Wife!!

Rusty - so glad you got a decent night's sleep, hope you get more of the same over the weekend.

Giggle - so sorry to hear of your bereavement.

Thrifty - Love the dance!

Tinypablo - your confirmation card is fabulous.

Lei_Armstrong - really pretty baby card.

Mad-Frog - lovely apple card - it looks perfect with that image.

Rusty - glad to hear that you finally got a good night's sleep!

Jailhousebabe - cheeky woman!!! I'd definatley remove their cards - they can't be much cop if they're being sold for 60p!!! I tried to look at your box but my laptop wouldn't let me - it seems to go into meltdown when I start looking at blogs!

Gemm85

JHB I can't bieve the nerve of some people! Did she think it was ok to just come and dump her cards in your box? Hers can't be much good anyway, cheeky woman!

Mad-Frog

JHB I agree with the others, tell your daughter to take the cards out your box, it is a bit of a cheek in my opinion

Hello everyone I was wondering if you may be able to help me. I`m looking for a little bear and bunny stamp ( individuals) that are around 1"-2" in height. I can`t seem to find them anywhere.
If anyone has any links I would be very greatful.
