Hiya everyone

Wow wow wow to all your makes, I wish mine where as good lol !
I have been making a few cards lately but want to up my game as I tend to buy card kits eg Jolly Nation and Forever Friends. Where does everyone get there inspiration from??
Can I ask if you don't have a machine how/where do you get the scalloped circles/rectangles from, is there another way to cut them or am I being thick.

ScattyJan

Hi Kelly-lou
I dont have any machines but I do have some scalloped punches of different sizes

Kelly-Lou - hi and welcome to the thread!!!! As ScattyJan says you can buy punches to make the scalloped circle shapes - I have a couple, although the larger ones are quite expensive. The machines that people use are either the big shot which I have just bought - they're around £50, or the Cuttlebug - I think that's probably about £60. Then the dies themselves cost around £15 - £16!!!!!

Skiergirl How on earth did you manage to break your toe ? Ouch !! Bet it hurts.

I havent had a chance to catch up today with blogs or anything. Ive been out shopping and im off out tonight Ive not been out in sooooooo long
I ignored my spendy elves yesterday and coloured a few images instead :rotfl:Theres a few bits i want to get but im not desparate to get anything ,so no crazy rush..

Oooh whilst im thinking i know a few of you make scrapbookpages too. This fortnights challenge at Creative Craft World is a Fathers Day layout. Ive finally managed to do my first layout ever !! Not bad to say i originally wanted to start scrapbooking before i made any cards :rotfl:

Sorry if this has been posted previously but I nipped to Dun Elm today, and their DCWV Premium Stacks are all 50% off. I managed to get All About Boys, Latte and Citrus stack for £7.99 each. They did have the 8x8 stacks in to, so worth a visit if your looking at stocking up! xx
