Making Cards - Ideas (part 6)

  • Just popping my head around the door - waves hellooooo :hello:

    I see many new names that I don't recognise - hellooooo again, I'm Thrifty :D -I used to frequent these parts many moons ago.

    - just wondering if there are any of the old-timers (from CraftyPlace - remember that haha) still around who fancy a good old gossip - shouts out into the ether helloooo :D

    To cut a (very) long story short, I have recently returned to making cards and am looking forward to setting up a new bl**. Would love to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones.

    Hope everyone is keeping well, love Thriftyxxx

    My cards I made, just using a stamp coloured in and mounted on gold mirri on 6x6 cards.

  • Have to say that its the envelopes that cause most of the work. You are better buying custom made cards and envelopes together rather than buying extra machinery / templates for envelopes.
  • Hello everyone :wave:

    I hope you all had a great Xmas and New Year. I'm looking forward to seeing all your new makes this year and it would be nice to see this thread re-energized.

    I have just updated my b*** with my latest card if anyone would like to see, love Thriftyxxx
  • Just thought I'd upload my latest make (just to see if I can remember how to and to see what size the piccie comes out at - lol). Hope this works.

    ETA: Not to shabby. Hope everyone is having a good day, love Thriftyxx
