Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

paddingtondoo

am sure she would appreciate a card rainmac

I use the same sandwich and way up for my nellies and nesties as rusty and the same ebay seller for u mount or whatever it's called

can't remember what else I've read - still haven't had my crafty ribbons parcel - things seem to be taking an extra couple of days to here at the mo. Didn't order any LOTV

Have cracked the grumpy husband problem - make cards before he gets home then sit next to him, chat inanely and cross stitch in the evening - funny how he used to moan about my stitching but it takes up far less space than card stuff lol!

Hello everybody, hope you've all had better days than me, bit stressy at work but I'm sure it will all work out ok, one way or another. My friend who I made one of yesterday's cards for loved it and said that if we do find ourselves out of work this year, then i'll b fine coz I'll always be able to do something "crafty"

Another couple of people have made very positive comments about my cards, which I keep displaying on my FB page.

I have been asked if I could make a Peppa pig card. So if anybody can find me the resources on one of their frequent blog hops or www browsing, then I would be most grateful. Not grateful enough to do your ironing for you, but grateful nevertheless.

Going to have a very very early night coz I was in work for 10 hours, and likely to do the same tomorrow and Friday - but will take the laptop upstairs whilst I drink my cup of tea.

Hi All, Can someone please explain slowly, and in words of less than two syllables, what is the difference between a Cuttlebug, Bigshot, Craft Robo and Quickutz Silhouette please? Very confused! Thank you.

Hi Bubble Cuttlebug and BigShot are manual die cutters where you use metal dies, Craft Robo and Silhouette are virtually the same machine just badged differently and they are electronic die cutters which need to be conected to a computer.

I have a cuttlebug which is great for quick cuts with nestability dies but I also have a Silhouette machine which I love too, its much more versatile but more complicated.

I'm not expert but my understanding is that they are all have similar capabilities, but made by different manufacturers. And apart from any electronic/compterised machines that accept cartridges (such as the sizzix eclips and the provocraft Cricut machines) the majority of cutting dies and embossing folders/stencils are interchangeable so long as you use the correct adaptor for the relevant machine.

Rusty Where it's got download it Here or [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]Here [/COLOR] I always use the second Here if that makes any sense. I've downloaded loads of her stuff and only had problems using the first one.

CT Glad you got it to work - does it look ok? do you want it tweeked?

Padster you're a genious - I can do that when OH is at work and knit when he's here - I'll get my gloves finished yet :T probably just in time for summer :rotfl:

Georgie are these any help - ETA CT you beat me too it

Thank you, so if you were starting from scratch what would you get? I am wanting to do little boxes, handbags and the like, that's what I have in my head anyhow.

PepPop - I love the blinking so no tweaking necessary x

You are so good at finding freebie images, do you know where I can get some baby ones from? Been looking all night through a mountain of colouring pages and can't find any suitable.
