Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Tired_Mom

Sally - I've PM'd you. With regards to the cutting could you not do it with a guillotine, if you don't have one it would probably work out cheaper to buy one than pay for someone else to cut it.

Gemma & CraftyGranny - Thanks for advice re ribbon holders think I may have to have a play.

Sally Ive Pmed you also

I have to agree with Tired Mum would be alot easier to cut the card yourself and would no doubt be cheaper plus you would get to keep the guilotene

Marg Hope the optician can help .... I personally would say ironing is more than a strain than making cards :rotfl: but you know how much i dont like ironing :D.. Could you listen to TV whilst sitting relaxing wearing an eye mask ? Only like listening to radio then

Love the ideas about Ribbons !! I looked at my 2 bags of ribbon i bought from Poppicrafts only last night and thought i really must do something with this lot. So will get ideas scribbled onto my 'still growing' must do list

I do exactly the same as gemm.

The sugar nellies you can either buy some kling on or ez mount and do the same as your other stamps or i just use a glue stick on the back, slap it on a block then stamp up my images and when i've finished clean the glue off the block and the stamp and store till next time .
I'm too impatient to mount them all on the foam and would take me a while as i do have errr a few lol.

Craftygranny - I always use ez mount to back my grey and red rubber stamps on. How well do the rubber stamps stamp without the foam backing iykwim. I am going to be on a strict economy drive over the next couple of years, so I am looking to cut back on pennies wherever I can - no Thrifty, just because you have saved on ez-mount does not mean another stamp can slip into the basket - down spendy elves, down :rotfl:

On a different note, does anyone know of anywhere that will cut paper to size? I need to do 200 pocketfold wedding invitations and the paper measures 19.50 x 8.50 - I have the template, just need it cutting! lol

I've just had a look on the box of my Xcut Maxi Guillotine and it will cut up to 10 sheets of 80 gsm paper at a time. You can get them for about £23.

I don't have any trouble stamping with them without any foam . I very rarely get any that don't stamp well. lol at your logic but that's mine too ez mount costs money and that would buy me another stamp. Like i really need more , but i do need more i want all the sugar nellies lol.
