Ideas for card craft beginner

Brilliant cards everyone, just love looking at them all.

I am off on holiday and lots of scrapbooking/cardmaking with my sister in Holland. She has a cuttlebug as well so we will spend our evenings crafting, poor kids and husbands Cardmaking is very big in Holland and a lot of the peel off sheets and papers are made there, so craftshops here I come (wondering whether I have enough Euros..)

Lovely cards bunbun!

Thanks Polly, I'm going to try and do this week's challenge but unlike others I am not at all organised with my Xmas cards! I have recently bought a Xmas paper pad so will try to do something with that. Think I have some red and green card left over from last year... Looking forward to seeing everyone else's as I am in need of Xmas card inspiration :T

Have a fab time mumoftwo

Hello all,
I feel really stupid asking you this but I need some inspiration, I was on such a high after my making my first card last week I now feel really deflated! I bought a card making kit for £2.99 have a look at the pic! well the cards have totally thrown me and I've no idea what to make, can you have a look at what I've got and point me in the right direction!!

The cream card.

I would layer a contrast colour on the reverse of the apeture then with one of the word tiles mount that on to some mirror board and place it in the centre.
The circle I would either edge with peel offs or with an ink pad blend out a faded ring around it then place a bow under the circle

Pink one I would use the heart punch along the bottome 3 times then back the holes with a nice paper.
In the aperture I would back again with a contrast paper for the heart plaque and then mount the heart plaque in the hole and again border the sqaure with something like peel offs or inks.

(Overlapping the flowers around one of the apertures might also look nice)

The get the "just for you tile and take a pice of ribbon and bend it over to make a V shaper on each side of the tile to make it look like a small tag the place that on the bottom right of the card at a squiffy (techincal term )angle

Or reverse it and do pink on the cream or cream on the pink

Just lay things on and see how it looks


BTW great pack for £2.99 were from?
