OAP Am half way through my card, will let you know when I finished, I realise that no red or green is very difficult for me on a Christmas card

Well for some reason my bank balance is rather healthy this month, I have rectified that I have treated myself to a Grand Caliber, some grand nesties and a few other bits on bobs :eek:

I was looking for my halloween stamps and can't find them, in the ensuing chaos I have found some papers I had forgotten even existed and found a couple of die cuts I had lost so not all too bad, I realise I need to clean my craft room promto though

Have started on some Christmas makes, just made a list of my to do list and as normal I am :eek: might even get around to updating my blob with numerous cards I have made

Hello its ages since I have had a chance to get on here and read any posts.

I am desperately trying to find someone who makes Nappy Cakes in my area. I want a one layer one and a three layer one and am willing to travel as far as Grimsby Lincoln or Doncaster to pick it up. If anyone on here makes them or knows someone who does can you pm me and let me know

Hi,
I am a complete simpleton when it comes to card making and would really appreciate any advice.

The Christmas of the year my husband and I got married we bought each other those A4 boxed cards with several pages in each and each year we use the same cards to write that years message in.

Now we have a gorgeous baby boy and would like to start a card for him. I would like to try making one but have no idea how to start or how to secure the pages to the middle.

all help greatly appreciated,

Hi Jem,
Could you post a picture of what you mean by a box card. I'm sure we can help you but I'm wondering whether to point you in the direction of making a mini book rather than a card.

Mad frog to come.

Can I put off the closing date till thursday 11th as I will be busy on the 10th ( I am going on a protest march:eek: fancy getting to my age and deciding to be unruly :rotfl: )

I bought the new spellbinder christmas tree die today so I am off to play its very intricate so I may have to say a few blue words but I think it is beautiful.

Happy crafting

Lovely card Arty
Question when using silicone glue how do you stop it "bunging up" ? I'm on my 2nd tube having disgarded the first.I'm always careful to put the cap on straight away but it still gets all clogged up :mad:

Hi Macma,never used silicone glue always use foam pads or pritstick ,sometimes double sided tape ,I have a tube of super gluey stuff for metal and ribbon and flowers ,it will stick anything on.[its Docraft,s stick it]:D:D
Can usually do a card just using pritstick and foam pads.:rotfl:

I use pinflair syringe which has a thin nozzle, I stick a long pin with a fat head up the nozzle and that seems to work most of the time HTH
