Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Nici

Thanks for kind words, I know coming on forums and chatting always help me but sometimes it so hard to make that step to just switch on laptop and help myself out. I shall keep pushing myself though. I've been up and down since I was pregnant with my little boy and he just turned 3! I've been back on meds since start of year and finally they seem to be helping balance me out.

The comment about DoCrafts product releases is quite right. The new creativity offers come out bimonthly with the new magazine. However often the mag is readyin stores for the start of the month but warehouse struggles to get the products out in time for the first. This is often a shipping problem as many of the products are not UK produced. If it makes anyone feel ay better I can assure you the DoCrafts demonstrators never know any more than anyone else about stock availability - I know because I'm one of them! If people like I can mention any launch details as and when I receive it. I often know when my demo kit is due to arrive which will give a rough idea of when stock should hit the stores.

Hubby just gone off to uni for the week boo hoo, i miss him already. He went later than he wanted to as he has over a 2 hr drive but both boys have been a nightmare all day. Is it a full moon? I will be glad when it's bed time which isn't far off. Ds1 is just having his tea so i can grab a few minutes. Mum is on holiday also so i am completely alone this week. I don't know how you manage rusty you are a wonder woman.

I have been asked to do a quote for save the date cards and wedding invites but they don't know how many or what they want but want a figure from me. Do they think i am a mind reader and can magic a number out of my head?

For anyone who got the Creativity Magazine, there was a leaflet inside entitled 'Creativity Essentials'. Inside there is a photo of some x cut embossing punches priced at £6.99 - I have searched for these but have not found them. The link they give does not bring them up neither did a search on their site. If anyone sees these anywhere can they let me know please!!!!!! Thanks!!!

I was looking at those in the range in bradford last monday I think . They had loads of x cut ones on end of an aisle .

Sadly i'm forced to go again tomorrow so i'll check them out better. rofl


Louby lou lou Can you work out a rough price say for every 10 based on it having ribbon and some form of embellie or am i just talking rubbish as usual.

Evfening all - far too much to catch up on but I spotted a couple of highlights.

Welcome back DTB (and Son!), congrats Rainmac, and ooer JHB - sounds promising!

Not much going on here this weekend -DS1s birthday yesterday and party today so the house is now overrun with even more Star Wars Lego! I did get him a Cuttlekids too as he is always wanting to use mine - some of the dies are so cute - we've got bugs, pirates and dinosaurs!

I have been working on some save the date cards for my friend - will post a piccy later. I now need to punch around the edge of a load with my butterfly punch - there are 80!! Will have done 40 by the end of tonight hopefully! Luckily the wedding isn't until next June.

Congratulations rainmac :T:j:T:j

Nici have some virtual hugs - hope you're feeling better soon

Louby-lou-lou Congrats on the order - hope you manage to quote ok for them, sounds like a bit of a minefield.

Marg If it's not too late can I enter the wings challenge please - left it to the last minute so if I've missed the deadline it's cool. I'm off to blog it now and come back and link it.

Ooh "&son" has one of those too - he got it for Christmas. I think he has planets and robots am sure he'd cute you a few if you wanted to try before you buy. The dies also work in the cuttlebug (but not vice versa).
