Ideas for card craft beginner

shaz_mum_of__2

Mum of two thanks for the link yours is great i have also seen cleaning cakes aimed at housewarming present with dishcloths and teatowels as the base and pcleaning products to decorate


Heres my freestyle card i am very happy with and i made my own card for a change not sure it worked out any cheaper but it was easy enough and didn,t want to buy a pack of black cards



the chinese symbols are peeloffs and the flowery paper is a bit leftover from my(pollys)clutch bag card from last week the "ribbon" is a strip of card but wished i had some velvet ribbon instead

Yo will probably notice my "sqaures" aren't very any tips on cutting i just use a craft knife

Just thought I'd let you all know that I got an email today from jillcraft, another online card making shop. Anyway it said that if you spend over £40 on anything today then you get 50% off!!!!. I haven't had time to look at the site to see what they have, I ordered some peel offs from them ages ago as they were really cheap, so it might be worth taking a look. £40 sounds a lot, but if you get it for £20, seems like a good deal. I'll have a look later when I have more time and report back.
Shaz - I love the card, it looks really pretty, and everything matches perfectly!!!

Love the cards this week!!!

Also love your latest nappy cake mumoftwo. I have made 2 to give as gifts and now 2 of my friends are going to make them for friends of theirs. This is my lastest one. Not as grand as yours but I like it...



I have wrapped it in cellaphane with a big bow. Just want more people I know to have babies so I can make some more!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you all do with tissue paper!

Have a great weekend

Hi Melissa

Thank you for letting us know about jillcraft. My husband might be cursing you but i'm not . lol. Wanted to try some twinkling h2o's for ages so ordered some of those and 3 different keepsake boards i tried one and liked it so thought at the prices today it would be rude not to have more. :j


At the moment on joanna sheens website she has a cd with vintage images on sale for under a fiver and free postage.

pap and shaz...............super cards and both so different.
(cutting squares is a nightmare.........I usually try and find something thats a square shape and draw round it, providing its the right size)

:bdaycake: Happy Birthday Polly!!!!!!!!! :hello:

No problem craftgranny, I snuck a look myself and they do sell a lot. Loads of peeloffs for 40p, a small selection of decoupage for 40p, brads - 100 small ones for £1.99, there's loads. I wanted to try using flower soft and noticed they had some there, I don't know what to do now! I spend too much!!! I suppose I could always try spending the £40 to get the 50% and then selling some on ebay.
