    does anyone have any tips or advice on what glue to use for sticking backing paper to card so that it doesn't curl? I have used liquid PVA but the card tends to curl.
    TIA

    They do a great pack with about 5 sheets of 3d foam and I think its 2 rolls of 3d foam, great for decoupage!

    I've done a Father's Day Card (for the FIL). I still want to do a two colour card. I have a great idea, I just need the time to get around to it.

    polly - thanks for putting my card on for me. The two colours were cream and green (bit of black on the ladies had couldb't be avoided I'm afraid). It was shiny card with a sort of cream/brown/green design, the lady was an image from computer. Didn't have time to really make a better one due to family visit.

    maggie - super Fathers Day card..........very clever:T

    Okay, my colours are black and purple (and my cardstock is white, but that doesn't count!)
