Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

melissa75_2

I was tempted to get the set of 4 rectangle ones for £40 - but I can't see that I'd need two sets of plain rectangles and two sets of scalloped ones. I'll definately get the ovals but like you wanna-b-rich I might wait to see if they get more in.

Craftgranny - I'll go and have a look now!

Another card on my blog - Elliot went to sleep early tonight!!!

woohoo craftygranny you will soon have the full quota of promarkers then until they bring out the next lot :rotfl:

melissa your blog cards are gorgeous, especially the pink and green one! how convenient of Elliot to decide to have an early night

I have just spent the last 3 hours setting up a facebook shop on my fanpage, something I only discovered was possible earlier today over on the jewellery making thread. at least it's not taking me as long as my website to get up and running so it will be a good starting point I think whilst I figure out my website shop page :rotfl:

Hogshead - Thank you so much for the leaves they are lovely and so many in pretty colours! I'm looking forward to using them.

Rainmac - your lovely ATC and pretty card arrived this morning - Thank you! I know what I want to do for your ATC just need a bit of time to actually do it! Will try over the weekend.

Flourgirl - Welcome back! What did you think of my lovely county? I hope you liked it. I'm following your new blog.

It's not been a good day here, had to go to work, computer there was being silly, I've now got to go again tomorrow and I wanted to play. Then tonight I went out with some girlfriends for a meal and chatty catch up and asked my best friend why she was having to do lunch at her work on Friday 'It's not as if it's anyones birthday' I said then realised it's because it's her birthday!!!:o:o Oh dear, I'm losing the plot big time. I knew it was her birthday 'cos I'd set aside tomorrow to do her card!

oh dear Marg sounds like you need a good nights sleep and a nice relaxing craft day, shame you have to go in to work tomorrow as well. I know I'd much rather stay home and play! xx

Morning Everyone,

Flourgirl glad you had a lovely holiday,
Rusty I found a blog and the cards had loads of card candy on it, it looks very effective, I think I'll master my technique first lol,
Hogshead I have a rollykit full of beads and they took an age to sort out, I still have to use the beading loom I begged my husband for, I think I have used it once,
Gemma well done of sorting out your web page,

Hello everyone else, I have the brain of a nat so and I read the thread before going to bed, I'm very impressed with craftsuperstore I ordered Tuesday and the package arrived yesterday only problem I have no time to play with anything until the weekend, It;s mine and dh 10th wedding anniversary today, that seems to have gone in a flash, I do have a question I want to get some nesties and which are the best shapes!!! there are so many and I have not got a clue where to start,
Have lovely Thursdays

Morning everyone Its another gorgeous sunny start to the day here again, a frostie start but you can cope with that

Thanks everyone for the response to my prices I put on about the wedding cards. I still have to get the paper sorted out & realised last night I didn't add the use of my computer ink to the overall costs so I'm starting to think that price is good for her

Tired Mom - I went to the paper suppliers website & they don't even list the card on the website....if the paper from Papermill is not right I'm going to go back to their site & see if theres some contact details

Have a great day everyone, I'm going to try & get some more childrens bracelets done today to list in my shop...might sit outside too x

Morning all - sorry for the lack of comments but I can't remember what I've read. Went to the doctor's on Tuesday and he diagnosed an ear infection, but he'd barely looked at my throat. When I asked what about my throat, he replied that it was just a side effect of the ear infection. I'd seen that morning that my tonsils were ulcerated (classic tonsilitis - and I should know cos I've had it loads of times!). By the time I'd spent an hour in the waiting room, my throat was so swollen that I'm sure he couldn't see my tonsils. I couldn't even talk properly by then; and I can't speak at all now. He prescribed me penicillin and painkillers in tablet form - I can barely swallow water, so tablets are killing me.

Anyhoo - rant over!
Jowri - I went for plain circles and scalloped circles in the nesties, as I know I can't cut circles to save my life! I've got scallop scissors, so figured I could always do squares and rectangles manually. I've also got a set of the labels (can't remember which one tho) - I just looked at the label shapes and picked the one that I liked best.

Hope everyone has a lovely day and gets some sunshine.

Jowri I hope you and DH have a very happy anniversary
I started with a scalloped oval if that helps ? Then i bought Labels 3. One thing to remembr is that if you buy round scalloped petite die you need to buy the matching round so you would have to buy round petite Save for the other dies. So you have to get petite with petite or classic with classic.. It is possible to use different ones but it just means you will have a bigger gap around them when you layer them. HTH.

Crafty JuJu I think £1.45 for you day invites is an excellent price. Please have a look around a few invite sites before you give her final prices. Also £1 for evening invites is excellent.. Please take into account your time. They will take alot longer than you imagine they will xx

The sun is shining here today too.. Im so daft sometimes. Ive managed to double book myself for going out to lunch LOL... Hmmm now what to do ?
On the upside ........ Ben is going back to school today

Jailhousebabe Awww pooor you I hope you feel better soon. Bens just had a middle ear infection and has been poorly for 9 days.. Hes back to school today. I had a sore throat the other week and my dr said it was an ear infection too. Can you put the tablets between 2 teaspoons and crush them to some kind of powder. Then put in a mouthful of water ? Might make it easier for you to get some relief xx Sending you virtual hugs and get well really soon wishes

Jailhousebabe, if you can gargle with disolvable asprin, it really helps a lot, and eases the pain when you cannot swallow, thanks for advice with the nesties
oh well off to work now catch you later Jo x

poor you JHB - that sounds like EXACTLY what I had before it got 10 times worse and I had to go to A&E, hope yours doesn't get that bad :eek: can't believe your doc didn't look at your throat, what a numpty!
