Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Gemm85 - it always seems to be down to me too when it comes to decorating!

Hiya I've thankfully escaped from the bottom of the laundry basket and also managed to find the bottom of the pile of clothes waiting to go away. I'll have to have the heating on constantly though for the next couple of days to get everything dry as it's not going to happen outside.

Ali - I really enjoyed doing the card just wish it had been revels or minstrels as I don't actually like Jelly Beans!

Giggle - If you want I really don't mind ordering you some sweet treat cups. They are £2.50 for 12 and I'm not sure what p&p will be. If it is just you fancy a couple of them to try out I am ordering a couple of packs so am happy to let you have a couple.

Marg - The papers are only available through Stampin Up but like the-Wife mentioned you can do it through a virtual party infact someone on here does just that. I can order them for you but I dread to think how much postage would be as they are so heavy. I wonder though whether I can order and get Stampin Up to send them to you at their normal postage which I think is £3.95. If you want me to enquire I am more than happy to.

The-Wife - The mini catalogue I have is just that mini catalogue and not the occassions one mentioned on you tube. Would empty opaque DVD cases be any good as they have that sleeve on the front or would the moulding take up too much room. you can get jewel cases I think that have a hinged insert to fix the dvd on and wonder if you could take that out? That style of stamps is lovely I can see why it is so easy to spend a fortune.

Flourgirl - I love the idea of using the cups for tummies you could put mini marshmallows for snowmen and red smarties for father christmas.

Rusty - I love your card but there again I am a pink girly girl. Could you please let me know is that doily punch still available or is it one you've had a while?

Craftgranny - How typically American to have a graduation but I can't think of a more deserving recipient!

Think that's everyone. If anyone else wants any of those cups please let me know I really don't mind ordering them for you. I reckon £4 will cover all costs for them and if it is is less I will obviously refund monies. I need to know by tomorrow night really or very first thing Friday morning. I can order them at anytime but think I will have to pay full postage costs where as this time we only pay 5% of order value.

Craftyjuju - Well done to your son bet you are so proud!

Gemm - Please don't overdo it!! ... I am so jealous of you not having to pop pills anymore!! I wish I didn't have to! Thanks for the link to creative cottage, I have entered 2 cards as I have just made another pink one! :eek:

Tiredmom - Couldn't find it instock anywhere but did see a couple on ebay, it is called Martha Stewart Doily lace punch and I paid I think £15.99 for it when it first came out!

Anyway for them who wants a nosey, pinky card number 2 is here although I agree with paddingtondoo's comment it would look just as good in blue think this one would aswell

Tired Mom Your card looks yummy and so do the papers your lusting after. I can see why you want them. Glad you made it back from the laundry basket - it sounds like caving :eek:. What about red smarties for Christmas Robins.

Funnily enough when I saw it I thought of you CraftyGranny - not that I'm saying you've got a lot of stamps or anything....:D. Aww a graduation cake for Alicia - that is such a great idea.

Great pink cards Rusty - but from someone who doesn't do pink to someone who doesn't do pink you CAN do pink! :T

Twinkle are these what you mean. I haven't checked to see if you can get them cheaper elsewhere so I would google them first (that's just one of the sites I have in my favourites)

Crafty lets just said it's bl**dy freezing and all my jumpers are back out - leccy blanket is back on the bed and the fire is up full!!

Padster if you see my sister please say hello (and possibly give her a cup of hot chocolate) - she's going to St Andrews overnight on Sunday (to a caravan :eek::eek::eek: she's made from strong stuff)

Off for a coffee and a blog hop - ain't it great when footie is on the TV - peace perfect peace
