ubereglu Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 They're really good Ali! Egluntine, I get my ideas from looking at previous cards and think about what people like. Also think of quite obvious things, so for birthdays-cake, presents etc. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Love the frog ! Fabulous, Alison. Very well done indeed. You'll make some people very happy when they receive them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Never thought I would say this (due to phobia) but the frog is fantastic!! Loads of character! Well done you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Lovely cards Alison Egluntine - start with a craft magazine - choose one with free card making stuff attached to the front. Lakeland sell one of the craft magazines in their craft sections, and there are loads in WHS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Seriously....how did you get started? Is there a kit to buy? The cards are from a magazine called You Can Craft. Everything you need to make the cards are included except the glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Lovely cards Ali I bought a card making mag a couple of months ago but haven't got round to using it, there are always other things to do Maybe in 2008 I can make some time for myself and get round to doing some of the things I would like to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I bought one this morning. When I can tear myself away from the forum........... Oh....and I really need to clean the bathrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Well....I finally got round to having a go. I made this for my SIL whose birthday is imminent. I put the little present thingy on a bit of 3d tape so it looks much better in the flesh. It looks a bit stark in the photo, but actually it is quite nice. For a first attempt I'm moderately pleased. I prefer the minimalist approach! There is a woman in the area who ocassionally runs card making courses....I might give her a ring.

Mrs Frugal Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well done, Egluntine . Another one who has been bitten by the card making bug - wonder how long it is before your desk looks like mine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Desk? Aah yes...... I do vaguely to remember a wooden thing being under this jumble of papers and discarded teacups. Thanks for your encouragement re the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 No teacups on my desk - empty glasses of crab apple brandy, maybe but teacups, no . I will admit to the mass of paper though . And card . And ribbons . Peel offs Glitter *hangs head in shame* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I expect mine will be the same in a short while. Crab Apple Brandy you say......hmmmmm....sounds divine. Droolworthy even! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
