Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Louby - big hugs to littly used to suffer dreadfully from earache when I was younger (was gonna say small but I'm still that heightwise lol!)

I knew why I didn't want a baby it's so it can't stop me crafting :rotfl::rotfl:

Have blogged a card and latest x stitch is on my other blog - there's now a link from my main one if you click the Eeyore cushion pic in the sidebar

Am hoping to get swaps and Father's day cards in the post tomorrow if I can write the envelopes while my boss is at lunch - stash swap will take a little longer.

Am still stash free - did buy 6 cheapy notebooks in Wilkos this afternoon to do up for the school fayre but think I can manage a £1

Totally papercrafts is animal magic Toms Mum - you'll need to blog it Thursday as it closes Friday

I love Nutcrafters Ali - the girls are lovely and friendly (plus I've won several lots of stuff from them) and I think the charms are good value specially as you don't always need the 10 that other places sell

Off to watch the end of the football and try and tidy up

Hi all

Just popping in briefly to see a few blogs. They cards all look great and paddington your cross stitches look gorgeous.
Louby - Hope your ds is better soon.
I have finally done my fathers day card, but will blog it tomorrow as the pic is coming out a bit dark at the moment.
Must get around to joining some challenges soon. Where do you find them all?

Marg - I didn't end up making an envelope for the card for my mum!! I just gave her the card, she had said not to bother with an envelope as they only get thrown away!! I just didn't have the time to keep trying different measurements out!!!

Hello everyone!
Sorry I no longer post much.
I haven't made any cards at all since Elizabeth's birth as I haven't got the time to get everything out and put it away again! Oh, for a dedicated craft room!!

Anyway, just wanted to send you all much love.

Karen, could you pls PM me your address?

thanks

Morning eveyone hope you got the gorgeous sunshine too just been outside planting out my toms & peas plants as there were really outgrowing the little greenhouse I have My strawerrys have so much fruit on so hopefully this lovely sunshine will ripen them out

Just want to say I LOVE the BIGSHOT :j I've just had a little play around with the celebration dies I got from QVC, its AMAZING :j I found with some card it almost cut straight through, so I used a slightly thicker card & it was ok, is this right? I feel there maybe a few birthday cards made this way....I know what else I'll be looking for at the NEC in November :rotfl:is there a date for that yet?

Hope everyone is well today x Thankyou for all your lovely comments on my blogs x

Hiya - nice sunny day here today!!! I'm off later to collect my new sunglasses from Boots ready for my holiday!!!

Just like to say a big thank-you to Mad-Frog for the stuff she so kindly sent to me - really pleased x

I have got carried away colouring digi's and still need to get my Fathers Day card done!!!!! Anyone have any images of sheds or greenhouses or know of any free digi's??? I have a gardening image but could do with the shed or greenhouse as a background!!! TIA!

I'm so jealous of you all with your new die cutting machines!!! Hope you all have alot of fun with them. They sound great!

Someone was asking about doillies the other day, can't remember who but I bought a pack of 250 5.5" size one at a local cheapie place for £1.45 - they are quite thin but I guess the will be ok cut up for cards! If anyone wants a few give me a shout and I can send you some.

Hope everyone is having a great day.
