Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

THE-WIFE_3

Addams I've chalked the embossing and if my memory serves well (sometimes its a no-no) so has Gemm. It will give you a very soft finish which is very pretty. I've also brayered ink on it which was a total disaster but have a look on youtube as I am sure that there are several videos about it.

I forgot to say a huge thank you to froggy and Gemm for the code, off to order another Promarker to go with the other two so that they are not lonely

:wave:- Gemma Yay! You post as long and as much as you like I'm so pleased you feel like chatting to us on here as I think it means you are feeling better:j

Rainmac - Hope you enjoy Sports Day - are you entering the Mums race? If so, hope you win

Rusty - Thanks for the heads up to M J M - I found it in the end!

Weather not so good here today - quite chilly & looks like it's going to rain! We're having a shed put up, hope they finish before it pours.

Marg Its just gone really dark here too,ive had to put the light on. Hope the shed gets up in time Thanks for Lyndach update,that was the last i heard also. Hope shes ok.

Gemm Signed please, i love to keep all my swapeeee cards. Glad to hear you are feeling abit better. Hope it continues.

Rusty Yes its those ones !! Its the branch/leaf one thats broke. When you push it to cut,It locks and you have to hit it to get it to release. Thats just cutting paper too.

Rainmac Enjoy sports day, Bens is next week.

Melissa I was abit confussed with the 3 way swap too :rotfl: Deffinately doesnt take much to confuse me though I have to write everything down. Which in theory is great until i lost my little book the other week. Had a pile of stamped images and had no idea who i had stamped them for :rotfl:

**Waves to everyone** Sorry ive been rubbish and not posted much at all. Seems like i have too much to do and no hours in the day. Ive been reading on here tho ,when i can, to keep up.Even though i havent managed to post. I havent even managed to blog hop either. Think i might do that when England is on later :rotfl:

Right off to make 2 fathers day cards and 2 grandad cards. Nothing like last minute

Choccy mine is the same, has been since I bought it, to get it to cut card I have to stand on it X amount of stone makes it work :rotfl:

Just popped on quickly to show how I spent my last 30 mins .....



Looks like my madam of a cat has dragged him in, as I can't figure out how else he got in unless she brought him in through the cat flap ... this one didn't seem to be injured though and flew all around upstairs when I tried to open door and windows to let him find his way out! ... looks like he has found his way out as there is no sign of him now .... thank god it happened today and not whilst we were away!!

Now back to the packing :rotfl: I think we are going for a month the amount of stuff we need :eek: have a good one all! xxxx

rusty I'll sort out the colours for the Gruffie image when I get home and PM you I've still got them on my pad and have a fabaroonie time.

Talking about pads, the grid one I keep on my work space is huge (about A1 size) and you can get it from your Stampin' Up rep. It's something that is so useful cos you can use it for your Promarker colouring, details (important for me) of the cards you need for the month, stamping and also the grid is really useful for measurements etc. I tear off a clean sheet for every month, I've had one for a couple of years and it will last me for the same, about £7.99 and NO, I'm not a rep for SU at all.

Oh looks like forum police have been at it again! My post regarding the cheap Promarker wallets which contained the letraset code has been deleted!:rotfl: I noticed that a few other posts have gone walkabouts too!

Anyway, just wanted to say a quick thank you to Padster and Rusty for the links to freebies. I'm going to have to start using Facebook, the trouble is it's such a timewaster and I struggle to keep up on here and with blogs.
