Ideas for card craft beginner

saveapenny

anyone used the Fiskars cutting templates? I have seen the starter pack for £12.95 on ebay and just wondered if they are any good for matting and layering

Eeeek haven't been on here for a while and I'm having to step in as a board guide, with a gentle reminder;

Hi
Have been reading this thread with great interest as although I don't really make cards (except with the children) there are loads of interesting ideas on here!

thanks everyone!

Also I wondered if anyone had a code for studio 24 they could pm (or direct me to) to get free post and packing as it's £5 and I was only gonna order a few bits.

Thanks if you can help but don't worry otherwise xxx

Hi furrypig, I found this code for free delivery: 033. If its your first order with them I found these codes, minimum spend is £50: 10% off and free delivery - 041, 20% off - 049, and code 019 - 10% off a £20 spend. I got these from another forum so I don't know if they are still valid. Also I'm not sure whether you can use two codes at once. I hope this helps.

Made these cards this morning for my dad's birthday...



I used Karen Foster scrapbook paper on the dad card (actually bought this ages ago for Father's Day and forgot about it ). The message says "a lot of men are fathers but it takes an extra special one to be a...dad". The other card is from my boys.
