Making Cards - Ideas (part 6)

pinknfluffy28

Hi All, long time lurker, do you mind if i join in, I finally got my stash out from bottom of wardrobe, where its been gathering dust for last 9 months (op on hand kept me away from any crafting for far too long!).
Need to get my act together, got lots of big birthdays this year inc dd1's 16th, dd2's 13th, dh's 40th & dads 60th, plus other 2 dd's & rest of family & friends - it cost a fortune last year having to buy cards, so I am determined to get back into it. Now off to whine at dh a bit more about needing a die-cutter, well it really would make both our lives easier if he just gave in and let me buy one lol ;-)

Nice to hear from you all, lets hope this thread continues to stay on page one and not five as it was not so long ago :eek:

Can anyone direct me to the best place to get letter shapes, like thickets etc, I have looked at a few craft stores and they all seem to be rub ons which I don't want. I am doing a scrapbook for OH's 50th!!

Hi, I've noticed quite a few of the posters in this thread say pictures of their cards are on their blogs. Would be interested in how to find the blogs so I can see some made cards LOL. Thank you :T

Thank you, not sure how I missed it now you've pointed it out but I'd not noticed the homepage menu option before. Perhaps I was looking at the menu for the wrong posters.

You have a great looking blog :beer:

morning everyone,
I'm not good as keeping my blog updated, spend too much time on pinterest etc going to try to do better though as I am hoping to start childrens card/papercraft sessions with a friend who is also a SU demo.

Hi! Haven't posted on here in a very long time - Where does it go?

Not sure if this is the right place to post so please be kind if it's not!

Anyway in an attempt to declutter my house / life I have been sorting through my crafty bits and bobs and come across some We R memory keepers Designer gromlets - two packs - one spring and one party. They are to be used with a Crop-A-Dile II Big bite (which I don't have !) so if anyone can put them to use please PM me and I'll send them your way!
Hope they can be of use to someone

Have you got a cuttlebug? I bought a set of letter dies in the Range yesterday £12.95 but hope to get a lot of use out of them.
