Here's my attempt at a non-standard shape card, didn't have much time and not terribly pleased with it but here you go...



It's a Xmas cracker, I know it isn't completely obvious which is why I'm not that happy with it, will I scrape through with my attempt Polly?

Fab cards Rusty!!! Love the fan, was it difficult? Looks difficult, did you use a template/pattern?

Welcome back by the way

Thanks Rainmac. the fan was quite awkward. I got OH to scour the net for a fan template but the only one we could find was tiny so he then stole that and adjusted it all on Autocad which is an engineers drawing tool (not something I could ever use) and tada perfect ... on the back of the fan I have my templates still then on the front I just backed them with papermania papers which I got cheap from the craft shop. Not really that happy with it but as a first attempt it was ok and OH said it was good enough to enter so thought I would.

Oh and thanks tis good to be back would have been back earlier but ,my littlest one had me up at 4:30am and I started ironing at 6am then proceeded to iron on and off all day!

I love the fan Rusty, I saw something similar for order of services a few weeks ago, was thinking of trying it myself for something a bit novel... On a scale of 1 - don't bother.. How easy was it to make?

Love the cards, the fan is brilliant and the cracker is lovely. Love the Christmas card Toni, I think I have those papers as well, better dig them out.

1 - don't bother!

:rotfl:


Nah it wasn't too bad to make Krystaltips I made the mistake of using card which was 2 thick which I think was the problem but I guess its not a complete disaster. Someone who is good at card making like yourself it would be a doddle to be honest. personally I won't bother with another one.
