Forgot too mention before - my Mum texted me earlier to say she had sold some of my cards for me. She said her friend dropped buy and Mum had left my box of cards on display so her friend would see them - very crafty!
Also found a sale of some papermania stuff - paper packs and some lovely stickers: http://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/sale/crafts/li_28_p0.aspx
postage is £2.95 or free if you spend over £40.

That's brilliant news, I bet your mum is really proud of your card making talents

Morning,

The Diecut shapes came from this seller on ebay - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/diecutzheaven_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ

She sells some lovely ones ... I have now had quite a few from her and she doesn't mind waiting for payment til you have finished bidding. Postage is reasonable on the items and they are great. I am watching more bits from here and also bidding aswell just trying to build up some bits and bobs.

Green card is a good idea, might help it stand out more. Now I just need to find some. All of the local craft shops round here only sell light colours. Might have to drag OH upto washington to visit the big crafty shop! I know they sell it there and I want some dark blue card aswell for more christmassy ones!

Hi Rusty, have you ever been to a Papermill shop, it's brilliant for picking up A4 or A5 card in all colours and different textures and you can cut/fold it into a card shape. You can fill a box with whatever card you want that will fit in for really little money. They also sell card making bits and pieces. Nice shops

Oooh Rainmac you are going to be in trouble with my OH ... there is one in the Metro Centre and one at Royal quays shopping outlet ... I best not tell him that I want to go and see if I can fit it into one of my days with the children so I can hide them before he is home from work! :rotfl:

Not made anymore as yet but plan to hopefully make some more possibly today or tomorrow.

Polly, lovely ATC's and Mary I love the colours on your card!

I have just received this through the post... I don't exactly know why... I think it might be the free gift that I've been waiting for from papercraft inspiration magazine but it didn't have any paperwork in with it or anything!

I have ideas for this weeks challenge (normally I wouldn't join in with anything like that) Can I just use normal card to make a different shaped one or would I need something stronger?
