Ideas for card craft beginner

saveapenny

IN Paint if you paste the image in and enlarge the work area to give about 1 inch all the way round then go to image and rotate the image and add text each time the text stays the way you placed it

If anyone wants a copy of the program "Cards and Invitations" PM me your email address and I will try and send it

Or if someone can suggest a away I can make it available

Sally I have to say I prefer this one


I guess everyones opinion is different and the only one who needs to like them is the bride. Fantastic cards.

Saveapenny they are stunning, I love the graduated colour.

I sat and racked my brains yesterday on how to do a thankyou card and I really can't do one. Had a really bad day with my son yesterday which didn't help. Think I will just have to miss this weeks challenge sorry guys but my skills just aren't good enough.

I have a medium sized picture of pikachu (pokemon) that OH re drew in autocad for me last night, I need to flip the picture over and try to make a card from using this picture, I want a freestanding card, however I may not be good enough. Going to give it a try today and see if I can suss it. If you hear screaming don't worry ladies it is just me getting annoyed at myself lol

Good luck with the Pokemon card Rusty! My DS1 isn't happy with me as he missed a party yesterday as I thought it was today - oops!

I've got 2 batches of placecards and one batch of orders of service (:eek: not done these before) to make this week so not sure I'll be able to do the challenge this week, sorry guys. If I can, I will

Sallyuk I have to say I prefer your last two attempts. Well done.:T

Thanks Abusybee!

Rustyflange - thanks a lot - that's the card the bride likes best too! - Says she likes things simple - a bit like me I guess! LOL

Hels102 - thank you very much, I have to say I was thinking yesterday I'd maybe agree to do something which I wasn't very good at, but the encouragement from all you ladies has really helped me carry on - so thank you very much indeed.

sally... toni Lovely cards

sally...easiest way in word to print on card is to go to page set up set as landscape then to the colum tab on the bar and set for 2 colums.

Print it on plain paper first to make sure you have your placing right.

This is good for A5 card you just need to alter the size of the page setting to make it for different size cards

I have some pre done different sizes for word if you want them I will email you them
They are inserts you just need to kow how to get rid of the centre line
I have blanks for
4x4
4x8.25
4.5x7
5x5
6x6
A5

I need some fast inspiration please guys, have sat and started the pikachu card for my sons birthday, I need to go over the lines in black and colour the tips of his ears in, He has red cheeks and then black eyes with a white glint in them Basically it is this picture which I am working from

And this is how far I have got.


Yes I know the card opens the wrong way but I was being thick lol ... it opens which is still a good sign lol. Anyway I was wondering if I could get away with red pom poms as the cheeks and maybe googly eyes as his eyes or would it look silly? I don't want to try it out as it has been a pain to do so far and don't want to ruin it.

Hi Saveapenny

Thanks so much for your help.

I've used A6 cards for these invites, but wish I'd used A5 instead as it's a pain getting the inserts to fit! lol
