Morning everyone! I am pretty new to this so hello! I make my own cards and sell them which I really enjoy... I'm a bit addicted to buying more and more things to create cards with and I can see I'm not alone with that!!

Anyway I wondered if any of you could help me? I have had an order through for a card which is really specific in what the customer wants. I need to find some red and white gingham paper. I will only need about one A4 sheet but I've looked in my local craft shop and they don't have anything suitable so I thought I'd ask on here whether any of you know where I could find some? Does it even exist?! x

Morning and welcome to the least money saving section on MSE
however I just checked this one if you have a printer you can download free gingham paper just google "print gingham paper at home"and a few free sites come up with a good number of colours,HTH. I didnt download any so cant say about quality


Artydoll do hope you are feeling better today

Good Morning Rusty -I'm fine thank you! How are you? Is it particular princess things you are looking for for DD?

Good Morning OAP - I also struggle with the technology - so frustrating, but I'm not good at making notes either so usually fumble through 'til I 'get it'.

It's sunny here just now but it can turn in a moment to violent showers, bath mats got soaked on the line on Monday. Work later for me.

ZLS - Ooh! that even looks like material!

Addams

Rebekah - Lovely card

Lorriellah - Welcome - Rusty beat me to the gingham paper, thats where I was going to direct you!

Rusty - I dont know if you have a craft robo, but I found a snow white head image that I cut out, its on my bl*g, if you want it I could forward it to you. Or if not you could try here for pictures and here for papers

Not such a nice day here today, very overcast. Hopefully it will brighten up later

Morning OAP :wave: to do the link "here" thingy, you need to type what you want .... then highlight it, click on this button and add in your earl. this will make your text link if that makes sense?

Morning Marg :wave: I have an image of Ariel printed off, plan to do Beauty and the beast (must have the beast on as she loves him) Rapunzel (tangled) and Snow white!! I can get all of the pictures from google, but struggling with papers to look right. Just printed off some yellow Gingham for B&B, have some pink kanban for rapunzel, some teal glitter card and mulberry for ariel and then I struggle with snow white. I thought maybe red gingham?

Addams - thanks for the offer, I have one already but I don't want to use my robo, I want to sell it lol

RustyFlange

Think I need to give up with the princess cards, I am struggling like mad to get them to look like I want them too!! Has anyone made any that they could share?

I have the Beauty and the beast one sussed, but the others are not working! think I might just have to stick to normal images and normal cards lol

Oops sorry CPS I wasn't on my lappy last night - I'll get it sorted tonight for you.

RebekahR That is such a cute card. I love Thumper

lorriellah Hello :wave: red gingham here too

Rusty the only thing I can think of is - Ariel card - what about making a scalloped easel card so it looks like she's in a shell

OAP - you highlight the word you want to link from and press the button that looks like the earth with a tractor tyre underneath it - that brings up a pop up box to which you copy and paste the destination you want the link to take you to

ZLS

How big a '1' do you need? - you can make one yourself in word by using word art and printing it flipped back to front so the lines are on the back.

Much better explanantion of how to create your own 'big letters and numbers' for free on word - here
