Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

kms26

Hi ladies

Thanks for the replies, I was asking about that die as my OH's uncle has got engaged and they have asked me to do the invites for the engagment party. She saw a particular one she liked and asked me to recreate it :cool: and it has one of those frames on it. They need 80ish invites so i would need to make sure they were all the same, so i have ordered a load of die cuts of them.

The other problem i have now is they have a sheer flower and pins on it, the pins that look like dressmaker pins with pearls on them. Any ideas where i can get any sheer flowers and pins from?

Congrats on the commission. These might be of interest http://www.sewingworld.co.uk/Clover_Pins.html but applique pins are short, so you might need longer ones, and you might find them cheaper elsewhere. Can't help on the flowers though.

I may have an outlet for some of my cards, and given that I've only got about half a dozen, it won't maintain my ProMarker habit, but it's a start - I'll keep you informed.

And I've been a little bloggerliscious this evening, but only a little. There are photos ........


EDIT - better link here - http://www.sewessential.co.uk/Category.asp?CategoryID=181&NumPerPage=5&page=1 there is the option of applique pins, bridal pins and hat pins

Some pins here just scroll down a little. They sell flowers too but not sure about the ones you need. I'll keep looking though.

Think padster has a good flower seller could be dragonllew either lol. my memory is awful.

were the flowers anything like this ? or this ? or this ?

I think the seller Padster uses is this one but I think they only sell Mulberry ones.

No cardmaking to report today as I had a really busy day and couldn't face it I did get a bargain though....

Clicky to see my Ebay win!

Quite impressed with my wee bargain there and looking forward to a week of Ebay parcels between that and my other orders

Hope everyone is well, it's a bit of a post and run for me tonight!

The pins are perfect thank you.

The flowers are alot like this but i was thinking about maybe paper flowers as they are flatter, think i will speak to her tomorrow and see what she thinks. Thanks ladies!

Giggle - I didn't have a candy buffet as such, but a pick and mix table that had various glass vases from IKEA on that had different sweets in, all my favourites = bonbons; cola cubes; roses; cola bottles, haribos, jelly babies etc, there were about 20 vases and so people could pick and mix and put their selections in some pink stripy paper bags. I got all the sweets from Makro. Not sure if I have photos, but will have a look if you like?
