lol.. I thought you would spot the "delibrate" mistake :T
Furrypig...no they are not hard to make infact quite easy really just lots of cutting out and you do use alot of foam pad but I buy mine from £land

Mary...thanks Im not clever a all I just like playing ( never grew up)

Rusty...thank you Im quite pleased with it...but I still feel it need tweakign, Ive been playing about with it today with more art deco designs but something still isnt right...I know what you mean I see stuff all the time I REALLY REALLY NEED!!

Krystaltips...Yes I do sell them...I am a bit worried about theinvites going into a shop. First worry is what if no one likes them 2nd worry what if everyone likes them and I get tons of orders :eek:

Rusty...how did you make the topper its lovley

Sorry again the topper I cheated with as it came like that so I didn't make it lol I simply stuck it on. I am still trying to get to grips with how to add different bits etc. My cards only seem to come out nice if I use embellishments. Think for the pack of several embellishments (I made about 3 or 4 cards with them and still have some left over) I think I paid 49p? Can't remember properly as was a while ago. I might have another go this week see if I can come up with something different where I actually don't just stick them on.

Mumoftwo I love the christmas trees, how did you do it??? fantastic card.

how did you guess? The trees are made with a cuttlebug die and emboss

so quick and easy to do, loving the cuttlebug!

Lovely card momoftwo...I cheated last year I had some papers with those sort of trees on so just cut them out but they didnt look anywhere near as nice as those

here is 2nd attemp at the art deco invite
which would you say was the best one to go in my folder?
it only took me 4 hours to make...lol
How many sets would you put in a folder for a shop?
and should I do complete sets of all designs or just wording saying availbale in RSVP's...etc etc.

Saveapenny both those cards are fab in my opinion but I can't advise you on the best way to sell them to shops but I'm sure a more knowledgable person will be here soon!!

furrypig

Please may I ask some advice??

Does anyone have a Fiskars shapecutter?? Do you have the shapecutter plus or the shapecutter xpress?? What's the difference?? Do you like it??

Thinking of getting one but can't quite decide so all advice kindly taken!

Thanks all!

Thanks Furrypig...Im not selling them to shops I have a friend with a shop who is going to put my folder in ( when its complete) so really need advice on what should go in the folder.
I already have about 15 invites but all roughly the same coloured card
I have only done orders so far from friends and friend of friends
When people look for wedding invited what do they look for?
I have until end of October to get the folder right and im panacing already


I have the circle cutter but not the shape cutter I asked about that on here and someone ( sorry cant remeber who) said it was hard to use and wasnt very neat so I didnt bother but the circle cutter is good
