Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

PepPop

Have a look at this for keeping your unmounted stamps. I really like the way she has the stamp on one side and it's stamped image opposite it

Toms Mom that looks like a brilliant idea, off to have a search through the Ikea on-line catty. I'm going in and I may be some time!

Tired Mom if I find you in the laundry basket section of Ikea I'll give you a hand. Thanks too Pep-pop

This is the card we made last night at the workshop. Card at back looks wonky as had to cut a slice off the back of the card due to the weight on the front from the jelly beans. I love these sweet treat cups and will definately be getting some.

We punched the card out and then the cup was stuck to a small piece of card that had been perforatted and then stuck to the back of the main card. This means that the recipient can get to the contents of the cup without destroying the card, not sure that makes sense......

Love this card i have been wanting to make a card using the sweet treat cups for ages but can never find them anywhere

Yes! once the list is 'done' everyone will get a copy. My PM box is getting full so to save space I've not sent replies but I'm sure I've got everyone so far.

Can I ask if you are in contact with anyone who hasn't been on here for a couple of days who you think might want to be included can you contact them and ask them to check out the thread/pm me? IYSWIM Thank you!

Tired Mum - Good card! those papers are to die for! Am I right? they are from the 'stampin up' thingy & only available through parties?

Marg you can get SU stuff through being a member of a virtual hostess club, have a look on my blog (cos I can't remember her blog address) at the bloglist and scroll down to 'My many many Passions' by Monica her blog has a full explanation. If you can get hold of an SU demonstrator in your area she may take the occassional order, best to ask but you don't have to have a party. I probably wouldn't get anyone in my village, the ladies would be fiddling with their hearing aids and saying " Speak up, dear"

This is the Youtube video that says about SU storage.

Marg I don't have a problem with the address list. Thankyou for spending the time making the list up x

Bunbun your post must be quick, I posted them all yesterday lunch time and I think you are the only one to get it today! You are very welcome

PONR Safe journey home. Cant wait to see the new stash you have bought, we will probably all be green with envy

Tired Mom Those sweet cups are the very thing myself and Rainmac were looking for but we were thinking Snowman tummies and bunny tummies. I would love to have some I will pm you in a minute. Promarkers are on there way

Rainmac Well done to your son, it makes you soo proud when you get such glowing reports. Hope you have recovered from your busy weekend

Rusty Perhaps you should get your OH to build an extension on the back of the house instead of doing the garden, then your can have a craft room with lots of space for all your lovely stash and a special place for your spensive papers lol

I have been at work again today(in the cake shop) and its been ultra busy! we have had a run on Hot x buns sausage rolls and cooked meat, all the meat is freshly sliced for each customer. My shoulder is killing me at the moment, think I will take some Ibuprophen. One of our customers brought us both 6 warm scones this morning and another a kit kat so it has its benefits. We think tomorrow and friday are going to be manic!!

Right I need to make a teabag thankyou card and a bookmark!
