Polly1976 - superb cards again. I've made a few waterfall cards, but I secured the strip with tape and it came off, so I think I'll be using brads from now on like you.

oooooh lovely cards polly. the waterfall one looks complicated, not sure i'll be attempting as i'm not that good but it looks very effective.

thanks so much everyone me and my sil both did a waterfall card each togeather this afternoon she did all the cutting out and reading all of the instructions i hate reading instuctions :rotfl: but once we knew what we was doing it was easy its very adaptable so you can use it for most events

I've never been able to understand waterfall cards, so I daren't try one!

I fell under the spell of One Stop too, just spent a nice bit on some papers, and also some bits for my *eek* Christmas cards!

I'm having a bit of a problem with cards at the moment, I've got loads of great ideas for starting cards (inspired by lots of lovely papers I've gotten recently), but I just don't have the inspiration for finishing them

Maybe we can help? Give you some ideas?

morning everyone
tried out my new rubber stamps last night and i LOVE them. have to say its my favourite thing i've tried out so far. i'd bought paper nation - dino boy and toddler catr, two penny black ones, and a nessie stamp. just been on ebay and got penny black zoophabet, penny black 12 days of xmas, and a wording one, plus bidding on a tilda stamp! lol. still waiting for quick cards made easy so i can get my free paddington stamp too!
will post my finished cards later. x

Beautiful cards Polly (as always ), I saw some waterfall card cut out sheets a couple of weeks ago but it didn't look like they came with instructions so I didn't buy a set (I am the sort of person who is ok so long as there are instructions and not too much fiddly cutting out :rotfl:).

Not sure if I'm brave enough to try it myself just yet....
