Ideas for card craft beginner

Krystaltips

Ok, here is the card I did for the challenge but messed up the printing.
And here is another I knocked up this morning using the circle punch I was going to use on the order of services but it wouldn't go through the very thick card...


And here is a get well soon card I just made for OH Grandma who has fallen and broken her arm. It has a small amount of glitter glue on it, will it count for this weeks challenge?

(still haven't heard whether I'll get the freecycle card stuff )

fab cards toniwoty pleased to hear the trimmer is good - you never know when you buy things. Mine is still in the box! trying to sort house out after hols, decorate and get ready for friends coming on Thursday for ds1 birthday:D
right stamping! how do i do it?:rotfl: how do you get the colours in the right place and not all smudged and mixed up? this probably sounds a daft question but I have never used stamps before:D a beginners guide to stamping would be good:rotfl:

Well done on the paid card toni, OH asked me last night if I'd consider starting my own business... After cutting out 200 petals (so far) for orders of service, I'm not sure I'd want to! Plus there are a million people out there doing it already....

On the plus side he's said I can have a cuttlebug for my birthday... It's 2 weeks after the wedding so not long to wait for it!!!

Great card Krystaltips, I looked at those round punches but they looked a bit complicated to me, are they easy to use?
Tony, your cards are beautiful I think I need to buy some lovely stamps like that.
Here is mine for the challenge, not terribly happy with it, the glitter is a bit messy I feel

Would love to see your pictures: Here is an easy way:

upload picture onto computer (assume you know how to do that)

open: http://tinypic.com/

click on "browse" it will open a window of your computer, find where you picture is stored on your computer, mine is under "my pictures"

When you've found your picture and it appears in the window, click on it, it will go blue, then click "open" the window will disappear and you are back on tinypic window and there should be words in the long box beside the "browse" button.

In the "resize" box it says default, click on the little arrow and a list will show, click on "message" board

Then click on the green "upload" button and tinypic will upload your photograph for you.

In the middle of your screen you have a lot of boxes with links in it, choose the second one that says:IMG for forums and message boards, right click it and this copies the link.

Come unto this thread, write: "Here are my cards" and right click and paste and the code will appear. When you post your message (save) the picture will be there for all of us to see! :T

Hope that helps

Looking forward to seeing your cards
