Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Lou05

Hi everyone!

I've not been online in ages - going to attempted to read though some of the thread but have a feeling I've missed loads! Havent done any card making either in sooooo long. Am now thinking of maybe selling my cricut and promarkers etc as I never seem to have anytime for making bits and pieces which is such a shame.

Before I do we've got both of our daughters birhtdays so need to make some invitations for the family party - does anyone have any recommendations for some sites to look on or have any of you made some I could please have a nose at? I *attempted* to mock some up last night but after 15 mins had to give up as our baby decided she didnt want to sleep, once she was settled was too tired to give anymore a go! Need to make some simple ones but have lost all inspiration at the moment!

Thanks in advance

Louby - have emailed you but my email looks like a business so please check your spam. T***x.pxxx etc.

Giggle - Lovely makes - hope you feel OK today and managed some sleep.

Thanks i have just seen it, it's the first time i have managed to get on as ds1 is off school we had an awful night with him screaming in pain. I haven't been able to leave his side. He keeps crying for his daddy too which isn't good as he isn't home until midnight tonight.
We went to the docs and he has a ear infection. Iv'e never known him to be in pain like it. His whole jaw and cheeks hurt,his ears and he has a headache. I was hoping he would fall alsleep for his sake but he hasn't.

Mad-Frog - I fancied getting that gears die - I thought it would come in useful for male cards. Did you see cutting edge crafts has a few of his dies - they're quite cheap and you get free postage.

Lou05 - its nice to hear from you. I now how hard it is to craft when you've got a baby - its starting to get a little better for me!!

Rainmac - your swap card is lovely!!! Thanks so much for my stamped images - they are fab - can I ask what card you use as I've already coloured one of the baby images ij and I'm really impressed with it?

CraftyJuJu - I'm sure Alex will love his card - I love how you've put his picture on it.

Melissa Have bookmarked that site need to not spend anymore until payday:o They really are easy to cut with though I am very impressed.

Louby, hugs to your little boy hope the infection clears up soon

Rainmac, thank you so much for my stamped images, they really are gorgeous, am colouring them in now instead of doing the things I am supposed to be doing

Afternoon ladies, just finished work so trying to keep up to date skim read the last few pages and not made notes so apologies if I miss anyone:
louby - hope your little one is ok.
crafty juju - Your star wars card is fab!!
Giggle - I love all your little makes - Is the halloween one made with the sizzix?? (the legs part - it looks great)

Did a couple of little orders at the weekend from Nutcrafters & Joanna Sheen - and they came today - service was really quick - lovely little charms from nutcrafters for only 50p - I am thinking that is good value - or am I wrong??

Hi guys, well had a great weekend and now have not got a clue what anyone talking about on here despite a quick glance through more pages than I can remember, lol.
Somene asked about the lip balms I was making for nursery fete. Finished the last batch today. I made honey lip balm with melted vaseline and stirred in pouring honey. I made strawberry by melting the vaseline and stirring in the strawberry flavouring/essence from baking shelf in asda, did a lemon and a vanilla the same way. Also did white chocolate and milk chocolate by stirring in drinking chocolate. Worth giving it an extra blast in microwave after adding the chocolate powder to stop it feeloing gritty when you use it.
Got to decorate the jars with fabric tonight and ribbons with tags on to name the flavours.
Good excuse to get my big shot out and cut out lots of little tags etc.

They sound good enough to dive into!
