Totally agree!

Thanks to those who pointed me in the direction of those flowers i've bought some today! When they arrive i'll post the finished card.

After looking through blogs and seeing all the wonderful creations I've now decided that i NEED a die cutting machine but have no idea which to go for, any suggestions..?

Personally I would always go for a cuttlebug. They fold up smaller than a big shot and with the extra long cutting plates you can use the sizzix bigz dies (tried and tested) I picked up some extra long cutting plates at a show recently for £35 cheaper than any I have seen!

Nothing much to report from me

Rusty love that card! What is the name of the flourish die you have used on it? I am lterally looking at flourishes now and can't decide which one to get and the one you have used is the one i want lol

And Rusty you have pm

Flourish Die I have used is a Marianne Creatable die part of a frame set, looks like this and is called Frames and swirls. You can use the frame to make beautiful cards like Jak Heath has done aswell!!

Thanks Rusty will have to get that one i think. That card by Jak Heath is stunning!

How do you all stick your card candy on? Mine never seem flat enough.

Also if you could only shop from 1 website which one would it be?

I use the 3D foam pads for my card candy, it is quite raised but that is the only way it will stick!! I can send you some if you want me to, or I can send you my flourish and you can cut handfulls of your own then send it back to me?

As for website, probably the glitterpot, or craftyemmas it would have to be somewhere where they sold a bit of everything you need, i.e DST, Papers, Inks, Tools, Embellishments!

Oh I'm that miffed :mad: Bone scan tomorrow has been cancelled as technicians off sick (do they only have one ???) It's been re-arranged for next Wednesday -I've stressed that I want consultant to have results before I see him on 15th so fingers crossed and hope.
Oh well, least that means I've got a clear day tomorrow.........might actually get something done:)

I have tried everything, i have used foam pads but they seem to raised :cool: But, i was just putting some flowers away before OH gets home and found some really flat pads so wil try them later.

I could possibly borrow your die i would be worried that Royal Mail would loose it! Lol thank you for the offer though.

I'm just off to reply to your pm

Well I just use them and yes they stick up a fair bit but look ok still!!
If you want me to do you some just shout! I can do them in white then you can colour them with your promarkers or copics or whatever it is you use!

Replied back to your PM

Right my mummy just made a daft comment on my facebook ... saying

In order to get a card there should be something to commemorate or celebrate - do you do a "congratulations on the arrival of your new shed" card? - otherwise I will have to wait till my birthday

so does anyone have a digi image of a shed?? I might have a LOTV stamp or square but not 100% sure? just think she would find it funny and she is driving me mad about this bloomin shed!! LOL
