Just a quickie, how do you distress edges? Do you need any particular tools?

Hugs and congratulations to anyone who needs them :j

Do you mean to 'rough up' the edges? To rough them up I use a pair of open scissors and run the blade along the side of the paper. You can buy distressing tools though but I don't use one.

It works better on thicker paper, thin paper tends to rip really easily

Lizalloareds - fab cards on your blog - love the cardstock that you've used on your anniversary card, and the greeting on the second card is lovely - is it a stamp????

Thanks, yes the cardstock is lovely, the greeting is stamped and there is a matching punch but i don't have it yet so had to cut it out by hand

Well i didn't get as many cards done as i wanted as per usual! Not complaining though as i had an order to do for delivery by post tomorrow so have been busy doing that.
I am also delivering another one tomoz I can't keep up at this rate. Doing one a day.

I did another flower card as they are my thank you's from my ds2's christenin, I wanted them all done and out by now but better late than never i guess.

I will make that card hopefully and sent it to you then mad-frog: Question though are we sending her a thinking of you, get well soon (may be not) or just a blank one that she can use? Sorry silly question.
