ooh the puffy flower ball thing sounds interesting, not sure I've seen anything like that before? have you got a link to it?

have a good time in cornwall!

Marg the puffy ball thingy is here
it is called the character shaper, I watched Kirsty Wiseman puff a flower out with it, she kind of rubbed the petals on the back then turned it over and rubbed it in the middle, and voila one puffed out flower,

thanks Jowri! one of those is lurking in my tool bag somewhere. Did Kirsty use it on punched card flowers?

rainmac I've bought from the ebay seller Marg mentioned, she's here Nesties are with you virtually the next day and by recorded post (free) too. Highly recommended!

Hi The Wife,

She used them on flowers that were printed from her cd on to 120gsm card it just gives them extra omph and dimension,

take care Jo

Lei - love your card. Can you tell me what air cannister you use on airbrush? I got one for my birthday and can't seem to get it to work and wondered if I was using the wrong cannister

Sorry i'm at OH's this weekend so can't tell you the brand but it's a blue and white cannister from Hobbycraft that cost about £7.99 x

Bunbun The mats from Crafts U Love are much much better than the original ones plus I bought a can of Bostik repositional (sp) spray from B&Q for £3. something. There is a video on You Tube showing you how to re-stick your mats.

Gemm I'm dying to see what you make with the vinyl. My DH had a go at making a template of a deers head with antlers (Hartshorn) for the spare wheel cover on the Land Rover, then spraying with paint, but it bled so we could do with having a go again with the vinyl. Could you let me know how you get on with cutting it please

Lei - thank you. I'll have a look when I'm near a Hobbycraft. x

Someone needs to look here - congratulations :j

Thank you for all the nestie advice and links Think I understand what goes with what now and the different sizes, I just don't know what to go for first, circles I guess?

I went to a craft warehouse yesterday with my neighbour andbought a gorgeous House Mouse stamp, mouse with a baseball glove for £4, it was the only HM stamp they had left. Also got my first embossing thingie for when my cutting machne arrives and a Sugar Nellie stamp. Quite tame for me really

Have a good day everyone, sun is trying to shine here
