Ideas for card craft beginner

bunbun2

thank you everyone for your kind comments.
I did spend all afternoon making them but alot were from Let's make cards so didn't really have to think about them quite so much:D
2 of them are for my mum's box of cards for Christmas - only a few more to make:rotfl:

Last time I ordered from onestop there was an ink pad missing from the order and a note saying it was out of stock and they would refund... I emailed about 2 weeks later to remind them and they refunded... This time there are 2 or 3 bits missing and the note on the order says they will be forwarded on soon... But I opened up my embossing pad last night and found the side of the case is all broken so I will have to email about that....

I used my new crafters companion and made a pop up card last night! It needs a bit of embelishment but I will post it tomorrow when the challenge starts

And thanks to everyone for the congratulations. I'm trying not to get too excited, it's very early stages yet... And DD starts school on Wed and the wedding is 3 weeks today, just got so much other stuff to focus on! OH wants to shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone we know but I'm trying to be a little more composed and wait until it is at least confirmed by the Dr...

Krystaltips - congratulations! Me and the other half often talk about having another kid, but I think we'll stick with the two. I have sons aged 6 and 4 and they are a right handful.
Abusybee - I've ordered from onestop twice now and both times there were missing items from my order. My first order was weeks ago so I think I'll have to chase that up. The secon order was about three weeks ago, she assured me that the items would follow soon! Let us know how you get on!
Bunbun2 - what a great selection of cards. I have't made any for a while, I was going to do some tonight as the oh has gone out, but instead I've been watching x factor and then xtra factor.
dawnteabag - lovey card. I think its perfect, I'm often inclined to put too much stuff on a card and then end up ruining it.

If I had the money to pay someone to do all the things I don't like doing but have to do - washing, ironing, cleaning, cooking... I'd probably have another but as that is not going to happen, we're definitely sticking with two

Does anyone have any good tips for lettering for cards.

I've to make a new baby card and an 80th birthday card sometime very soon and thought that I'd buy some letter stickers to pur names / messages on but I can't find them anywhere on the high street and am far too impatient for them to be delivered from an online store.

I saq quite a lot of those silvery type stickers today but son't think they're what I want.
Any ideas gratefully erceived.

Also, I wanted to but myself a good craft knife for cutting out ( I had thought of printing out letters on my printer and then cutting them out but scissors are too tricky. I couldn't seem to find any. What should I be looking for. All these craft accessories and phrases are quite confusing for a newbie!

I am uploading loads of letters and numbers here http://s333.photobucket.com/albums/m373/SaveaPenny/Letters%20and%20numbers/ help yourself if they are of any use to you

My orders partly came from Onestop the only think I am realy miffed about is the vellum...ITS TRACING PAPER it's no better hat the stuff my hubby buys for his painting at 50 shees for about £3 which I think he gets from the staionery shop in Walsall and they chaged me 15p per sheet
I would also be interested to find out if they have any crafters companion in stock and they are not just trying to put me off
If anyone fancies trying them by phone on Monday when the sale is finished I would be interested to find out
I have had 2 deliverys now and still 2 things missing
Also 2 things missing from Payerbox and I have emailed them but no response I cant find a telephone number for them

Great cards BunBun ...you have been busy

dawnteabag...cute card

* found the number will call them Monday

Well I intend to get myself a few things today craftwise. The OH went out last night and I am annoyed at how much he spent, so I am going to spend loads on myself now.
