As there are so many Cricut owners on UKS, it's been suggested that we have a dedicated thread.
Having a dedicated forum for the time being isn't possible because of sponsorship. I understand from past post that MaryAnne is trying to sort out something, but in the meantime we'll have a non point scoring Team thread.
There's no limit as to who and how many of you can join in, so come on over and share all your tips, inspire others and just have a chat.

Having a thread that is dedicated to the Cricut use, will hopefully, eliminate so many other individual threads, often repeating questions that have already been asked and can get quite confusing.

PLEASE REMEMBER not to post links to any non sponsor site regarding the purchase or price of either the Machine itself or Cartridges. PM people by all means but the links will be removed from the thread.

Tracy how did you make the scalloped square mat that you have on the baby girl card with the elelphant on it?

I used SYI, with the card frame feature, it's the last two frames, the last one cut at 6" and the one before that cut at 5", then i used the middle bit from the 6" one on top, does that make sense?

[Red Barron]

:blink:l cant get my card resized so l could upload :angry::(

[Red Barron]

got it to work so here it is what do u think

[Barmybird]

Hi CB

Cards smashing, well done!!

[Red Barron]

Thank you Barmybird just got the cart today:rolleyes:Tracy no you dont get the markings with that feature

[tracygough]

got it to work so here it is what do u think

It's fab!!!!! I love the gold balloon, actually i think it's better than mine, as it's bigger.

[Red Barron]

thanks Tracy urs is an inspiration:wub:

[Barmybird]

well girls here's the card I made for that commission last week, most of it was done on Arnie but I did have to resort to some peel offs to start using them up to be honest.... who needs peel offs when you've got an Arnie, Eddie or whatever we call our beloved machines... hope the pictures make sense!!:wacko:
by the way, the last picture is the lid of the box and he proposed to her by the Eiffle Tower so that explains why its there!!:rolleyes:

Blimey that's just gorgeous!!! so much work in it, i didn't really notice the peel offs.

[Barmybird]

Hi Tracy,

Thank you, it took hours and far too much work has gone into it, just like my other projects!! no idea what to charge him either!! I asked angie.. the girl I made the Lily card and book for and she said about a fiver!! what do you think, I must admit by the time I'd finished I thought it might be a bit to 'Bling' cos the background of the front is almost like a mirri board finish! but if they want ordinary they can get that at the shops!! :wacko:

[SamG]

Ally - look at Crafts U Love for embossing folders, when I looked on eb*y earlier they were about £5.00 each, I think they're £3.79 at CUL.

Look forward to seeing the pirate card. :)

CG - great card. I'm def going to have a play with my Pooh cart soon.

Sandie - that card is lovely, I think its a bargain at £5.00!

[tracygough]

Sandie, I think a fiver sounds about right, you'd never get anything like that in the shops.

[Barmybird]

Hi Sam,

Thankx for thinking its ok, I think people assume if its handmade it should be cheap for some reason!! in future I've decided if anyone wants me to make a card for them I'll ask up front how much they want to spend cos at the moment its costing me a fortune! at least if they only want to spend a couple of quid I will TRY and stop myself going barmy!! :lol::lol:

[SamG]

IKWYM, problem is we enjoy doing it, so end up barely covering our costs. People don't realise how much even decent card can cost, do they?

[tracygough]

There's a non sponsor that sells embossing folders for £3.49 with free postage. (Google cuttlebug, it's the second one down in the list).

[Barmybird]

IKWYM, problem is we enjoy doing it, so end up barely covering our costs. People don't realise how much even decent card can cost, do they?

Actually Sam I think they're very aware of what cards cost but assume that we can do it for a fraction of the cost for some reason.... and I agree with you we do it cos we really love doing it!! and I'm learning all the time so its good really, but as I say in future if I'm asked to do something like this again I will definitely ask them how much they want to spend, at least then we're all happy, I don't want to make a living out of it (I couldn't anyway!!) but its nice if you can save what you get to buy some urgently needed stash!!! or a new cart!! at this rate I'll never get one :(

[BernieTuffs]

evening all!
jsut popping in to say hi...lovely work on here - it's great to see what can be done!!!

My friend has aksed me to do 3 more word books for her family, so guess what I'm up to this evening?!!

bernie X

[SamG]

Thats good Bernie, make sure you show us!

Tracy - I found the £3.49 folders, but only free P+P over £45. Am I looking at the wrong one?

[Red Barron]

l did a slight alteration on my pooh card he wording happy birthday l decided white wasnt right so its now matted in black and looks much better

[tracygough]

Thats good Bernie, make sure you show us!

Tracy - I found the £3.49 folders, but only free P+P over £45. Am I looking at the wrong one?

The site name begins with 'cutting' and they do free p&p on all orders.
You must have put a capital 'C' for cuttlebug.

susannah

[linbob]

xx

[tracygough]

Hi Susannah, i didn't see it but find that Stephanie very irritating at the best of times.

I was expecting something more interesting too, made me laugh how they're going on about how fabulous the machine is, when we all know they have Expressions! How can they charge £250 for it!! And why do people pay it???!! I can't believe the carts were selling out at £69 each. If only people knew they could get 2 for that. It really annoys me (as you can guess).

[Barmy]

Evening everyone! Fabulous cards CB and Sandie - lovely stuff! I hope you've all had a good day - I've been at work! My computer there made a huge crack and switched off though! My boss was away, so I used hers instead! No excuse for not working there then! My DH is sitting looking at me and checking what I'm writing! Tell him to go away!!!!!!!

[SamG]

GO AWAY ANNALEY'S OTHER HALF!!!

I'm sure they think we're talking about them - they should be so lucky!! ;)

[tracygough]

Annaley's Hubby, bog off!!! There yer go i told him :).

[linbob]

go away barmy's DH women only here:D unless you are going to buy some carts on line for annaley :D

[allyf]

Evenin' all!

Barmybird - yes I really did make 23 cards - some not so well as others though, but most are ok and useable and some are quite lovely. I love your wedding card by the way and I think £5-er is a bargain.

Betsy - love your Pooh card too.

SanG & Tracy will have a look at the people you recommended, think I may have to go shopping tonight :lol: the free little stamp die and embossing folders you get with it really isnt that useful.

Oh and the chappie that got it for me had to phon 5 stores to track one down - what a sweetheart eh?
:-)

[SamG]

What a sweetie! I hope you're going to make him a thank you card! :)

[Emmyloo]

Evening ladies!
You lot have been chatting away again, its been lovely and quiet the last week!:lol::lol:
Had bit of a crazy day - spent over an hour and a half at the hospital - to go in for 5 minutes!!! So that pretty much wasted my day!
Love all the cards people have made (sorry - cant remember whose was whose!) This is a thank you card I made, and the bracelet I did yesterday!

[SamG]

Wow, what a great bracelet - do you sell them?

I love the bunny card, looks like a nice quick one. :) Is he from Doodlecharms? I haven't got that but have been looking at it for a while now.....

[SamG]

Right, I'm going to log off soon, for some reason Daren is really fed up and I think he needs a nice cuddle on the sofa!

Have a good evening all, see you tomorrow (no doubt!).x

[allyf]

Well that was expensive :P I went on Crafts U Love (sponsor) and they had all the embossing folders I wanted, so I er ordered them along with some ink pads that seem to have to go with them :lol:

I have to go now, I need to make a thank you card and a birthday card.
:-)

silly question but ... how did you stick on the tiny writting mine always rips:(

[Emmyloo]

Wow, what a great bracelet - do you sell them? No, normally dont have the patience, but was inspired by ones they had at the craft shop I went to!

I love the bunny card, looks like a nice quick one. :) Is he from Doodlecharms? I haven't got that but have been looking at it for a while now..... Yep, Doodlecharms, I dont tend to use shapes all that often, mainly alphas, but I've used this one a fair bit!!! Get it!!!

Off to bed now, me and OH having an early night :wub: - got work tomorrow!!! :lol:

[Emmyloo]

silly question but ... how did you stick on the tiny writting mine always rips:(

They're Doodlebug rub-ons - easier using them than small cut out letters!!!

[Auntie Frankie]

How do you guys keep up with all this chatting? Shame I can't use the internet at work or I'd keep up during the day :lol:

Here's my maze book using the Joy of the Season cart. I used the swirls on the inside pages and added my trusty Sizzix flowers and hearts. Sorry about the poor pictures.

[allyf]

Gorgeous book Liz.

[Auntie Frankie]

Thanks. I've only had my Expression since March so I'm still getting to grips with it.

[Mollydolly]

Well, my expression is still in the box. My friend came to visit this afternoon, then my son and DiL came over. Tomorrow l'll have to play catch up so l bet l won't use it then either.
I have had a look in the box and taken the CDS out so far.
Could you ladies help me please. Do l connect the Expression to the PC before downloading the CDS or is it better to do it independently?. Or should l have a play around with the expression before l think of the CDS?. l always like to run before l can walk....Dot

[muppsey]

B)Just popped on to keep up to date!

Been busy tonight completing 120 party invites (why do I volunteer for these things?). :ph34r:Really simple design though, just some embossing, deckle cut edge with a gold inkpad run around. Very repetitive and boring after a while. Still, I've finished now so can give then to my friend tomorrow.

Your Pooh card is lovely CB. I always just cut a base cut in black. That way I have the internal cut lines to follow when placing the detailed cuts. IYKWIM

Liz - I love your maze card - amazing:rolleyes:

Emmyloo - your bracelet is gorgeous. Do you follow a pattern. I bought a load of beads and jewellery making stuff and have never got around to using it.:( Maybe I should bring it out from the back of the cupboard and have a go.

I need an early night. Off to bed now. On my own as DH is away on a course for a week (for once it's not the golf course):P

[Red Barron]

here is a couple of cards ive done tonite the cross one was done with wedding cart :wub:

[muppsey]

Dot - Pg 4 of CDS manual:
IMPORTANT: Install the Cricut Design Studio BEFORE connecting your Cricut to your computer. This ensures the proper drives are installed.

I would advise you to have a look at the manual first as you are only allowed to install onto one computer. It is best to do it right first time.

See you tomorrow.

[muppsey]

Hey CB you are going great guns now! I love the cross one. I didn't think I needed the wedding cart but you may have swayed me now. It would make a great 1st communion card that I've been asked to do.

Defo going to bed now.

[Red Barron]

yes l thought that too or even communion card l have one of them to do as well as a christening one although lve been playing tonite cutting out all different shapes from it l think its worth it for me anyway

[KimmyS]

Holy Moly you are all very chatty around here! I only blinked and a new thread was already there.

Thanks everyone for "sorting" me and my bug out. I have now the SCAL software installed and loving it!

[Mollydolly]

Barbara, thanks for your reply, good job l asked !.
l have the trial version installed, I'm sure l read on here that l can install over it, is that right?.
Nice to see all the cards and how versatile the carts are...Dot

[crafty pants]

I used SYI, with the card frame feature, it's the last two frames, the last one cut at 6" and the one before that cut at 5", then i used the middle bit from the 6" one on top, does that make sense?


Thanks tracy, yes it makes sense.

[Mollydolly]

l keep saving these bits of info but have to go to look what the initials stand for lol. l guess I'll get used to them in time. ( especially if l own them :)).Dot

[crafty pants]

I had to look up the cricut site for SYI too. It is Stretch Your Imagination, I don't have that cart.

[Mollydolly]

I'm feeling a bit nervous, after my sons telling off l don't know if l will be buying a new PC in the future, then I'll have no CDS. Think I'll hold off a while till l know whats going on first. l was hoping to get a laptop, not a desktop as well !!.,,,Dot

[Emmyloo]

B)
Emmyloo - your bracelet is gorgeous. Do you follow a pattern. I bought a load of beads and jewellery making stuff and have never got around to using it.:( Maybe I should bring it out from the back of the cupboard and have a go.

I didnt use a pattern - I just made a chain out of little rings, then on every ring put another ring with a bead on, if that makes sense!!!

Just popped on to have a quick catch up, really have to get ready for work now!!!

[Red Barron]

morning all quiet in here today

[tracygough]

Morning all,
Smashing cards CB, and i love your book Liz.
That bracelet is really pretty Emmyloo, you're very clever.

I'm still feeling poo, i have zero energy and it's getting me down now, as i've felt rough for almost a week now.

Hope everyone else is well. Have a nice day.

[SamG]

Hi all, just popping in. Great card Lin. :D

I'm feeling like poo again today and have been to the docs this morning, she's given me different antib's this week for sinusitis. *sigh* Am sooooo fed up. Think I'm going to go and put my PJs back on in a minute.

Hope you're all ok?

On the plus said, postie bought my swiss dots folder. :)

[linbob]

not looked at the cart as yet, are all the bits in the book?

thanks for the comment on my card, not sure weather to cut the bits off that are hanging over the edge of the card as i have to get it in an envelope

[linbob]

aww sam big hugs babe. ohh i have that folder its lovely hun, and i got my paper dolls with no charge the post man knocked on my window as i have no door bell on my new door, and he said i knocked on the window as didnt want to mark your nice door awww bless him

[allyf]

Lin - the crd is beautiful, I am sure the little girl will love it.
:-)

[muppsey]

Morning all
sounds like there are a lot of 'grotbag' bugs down south. Think it is too cold up here for them to survive. Sun is shining but it is still mighty cold. Hugs to all the sickies, hope you feel better soon.

[muppsey]

Linbob - don't chop the side bits off you card. It is lovely. Do you have a bigger envelope to fit it?

[linbob]

no i dont i guess i could try to make one lol

[SamG]

Hello, still here. have you got a brown envelope it fits? If so, pull that apart and use as a template to make a pretty one (wrapping paper is good). :)

[linbob]

just had a thought i could have used my happy birthday folder (cuttlebug) to emboss the scalloped square :( but would you see it though the pink/yellow/white paper?

[linbob]

ooohhh good idea sam, i have happy birthday wrapping paper:D

[SamG]

just had a thought i could have used my happy birthday folder (cuttlebug) to emboss the scalloped square :( but would you see it though the pink/yellow/white paper?

Try it on a scrap. You might not see it posted on here, but it would add to the dimension of the card.

I use the message ones to cut out a small message (only use scraps, not a whole sheet), so I can match it to the card.

Mirri card looks great embossed in the CB folders.

[linbob]

has any one done the bride and groom out of the paper doll cart?

[muppsey]

Linbob - I've seen a bride and groom card somewhere................try looking on the cricut mb.

[linbob]

i just wanted to see how they turned out as my friend is getting married in aug, and i might try to do her a card

[muppsey]

I've actually done a LO!
I've used the accent essentials and mini monos

[linbob]

what a lovely LO Barbara well done you

[muppsey]

Thanks Linda
I've just looked at the clock!!!

Where has the day gone. I've got nothing done. Catch you all later.

[linbob]

bye Barbara hunnixx

[tracygough]

Great LO Barbara!!!

Lin your card is lovely. I just replied to your pm, then saw your card, you must have a scalloped square, cause you used it on that card.

[linbob]

i used my cuttlebug for the square hun and that was the biggest i have :(

[SamG]

Lovely LO Barbara.

Tracy - have you got some 12x24 mats? Where did you get them from? I've contacted the place where I bought my Expression and they are reluctant to post them as they keep getting complaints that they are damaged when the arrive. I also need some more 12x12s.

[tracygough]

i used my cuttlebug for the square hun and that was the biggest i have :(

Oh i see, i thought it looked quite big, so is that card small? What size card are you wanting to make? Mine was just under 6"x6".

Sam, i can't remember where i got my big mats. I think it might have been cuttinge*g*crafts.

Anyone seen anything of Gwyneth, i've not seen her on here for days? I do worry when peeps go awol.:unsure:

[linbob]

6x6 is fine hun, its for karmens teacher when she gives birth, not sure if its a boy or a girl as yet though.

[tracygough]

6x6 is fine hun, its for karmens teacher when she gives birth, not sure if its a boy or a girl as yet though.

So what do you want me to cut it out of?

[linbob]

some paper that will do a boy or girl please ill pay you for doing it for me

[tracygough]

If anyone is interested H***M**K have Mini Monos for $44.99, so even with the $12 shipping, that's under £30.

[tracygough]

[linbob]

If anyone is interested H***M**K have Mini Monos for $44.99, so even with the $12 shipping, that's under £30.

[linbob]

how long does it take to come from hall****

[SamG]

If anyone is interested H***M**K have Mini Monos for $44.99, so even with the $12 shipping, that's under £30.

Don't do that!!!! Have already been on there this morning ummmming and ahhhhing about buying mats and Home Accents. Not sure about the postage, its difficult to work out and i'm worried about customs. Do have a few birthday pennies left though.

I'll see what i have, when i feel up to venturing into the craft room.

Why you not going to the craft room? I'm lucky the PC is in the conservatory next to my craft stuff. Problem is, I come out to craft and end up chatting on here.

How's L? Being good? Just put G to bed for a bit as he was up again last night and wouldn't go to sleep until about 10.30, he kept having bad dreams.

[linbob]

ok placing a order with hall**** it comes to $56.99 what is this in our money sorry to be soo thick

[linbob]

ok i have brought Mini Monos, tracy i guess i wont need you to cut out the scalloped squares now, never looked but did you say this cart has it on there?

[SamG]

About half Lin. They're quite quick, usually just over a week. :)

Am shopping at Crafts U Love at the moment, thinking of getting the 12x24 cardstock but can't decide which one to get???

[tracygough]

Sam i'm not going in to my craft room as i still feel pants.
I have black and white, and pastel 12x24 card.

Yes Lin Mini Monos does have scalloped squares and circles on it.

[linbob]

ohh goood thank tracy just have to wait 4 post man again lol

[SamG]

I'd get both of those too, but they are £15 each and I need mats and blades. :wacko:

Sounds like you're recovering as well as me. Are you still all achey?

[linbob]

sounds like you lot got what my hubby had for 8 weeks :(

[crafty pants]

Oh i see, i thought it looked quite big, so is that card small? What size card are you wanting to make? Mine was just under 6"x6".

Sam, i can't remember where i got my big mats. I think it might have been cuttinge*g*crafts.

Anyone seen anything of Gwyneth, i've not seen her on here for days? I do worry when peeps go awol.:unsure:

I remember Gwyneth saying in another forum that we chat on that her sister was coming down from Wales in April and that she was taking her home and staying for a while with her. It might be this week.


I have finally finished Hook, Peter Pan and the ship, still to make the Lost Boys and of course make a card out of them!!

Ahh, that must be were she is then. She may have said on here and i missed it.:unsure:

Wow, they are fabulous, are all the bits actually on the cart, or did you have make some yourself?

[linbob]

omg sharon, they are fab, and to top it off my son is big on pirats and he has just seen your pic and went "OMG WOW MUMMY" he has just turned 6 and now he wants me to make one to go in his room, sharon what have you started now :D

[SamG]

Sharon, they are great. look forward to seeing the lost boys!!! :D

[SamG]

Tracy - I've just ordered some Rista dew drops - aren't they great? I saw some used on a project in a magazine quite a while ago and couldn't find out what they were. Do you just use a glue dot to stick them down?

[Red Barron]

l got my mats from oh my gawd the 12 x 24 and 12 x 12 and a set of blades it came to £31 including p & p if that helps samg

Lin love the card

[SamG]

Wow, thats good CB, but I've ordered now. :(

Plus I really need the 12x12 mat, bits keep falling off mine when I'm cutting.

[crafty pants]

Wow, they are fabulous, are all the bits actually on the cart, or did you have make some yourself?

Thanks for the lovely comments.

To make Peter Pan I used the caveboy's clothes and trimmed off a bit. Also put the pirate tshirt under it and clipped a bit to make the collar. His shoes are from the elf with the pom-pom cut off, the belt is from the indian headpiece as is the feather in his hat. The hat was trimmed down from another hat.
Hook's coat is from the three wise men, his hat is the girl's cowboy one with the top trimmed down. The frill on his shirt is fromn two of the pirate's waist scarves with the belt bit cut off. You get the dagger, moustache and hook with the pirate boy. Hook's hair is the mermaid's!!! and his sword is the knights....oh and both of them are wearing the prince's tights :lol:

The Lost Boys should be easy enough as there are "dressing up" outfits there. I am hoping that Zooballoo has a crocodile too.
His birthday card is going to have to be very long :blink:

[linbob]

Thanks for the lovely comments.

To make Peter Pan I used the caveboy's clothes and trimmed off a bit. Also put the pirate tshirt under it and clipped a bit to make the collar. His shoes are from the elf with the pom-pom cut off, the belt is from the indian headpiece as is the feather in his hat. The hat was trimmed down from another hat.
Hook's coat is from the three wise men, his hat is the girl's cowboy one with the top trimmed down. The frill on his shirt is fromn two of the pirate's waist scarves with the belt bit cut off. You get the dagger, moustache and hook with the pirate boy. Hook's hair is the mermaid's!!! and his sword is the knights....oh and both of them are wearing the prince's tights :lol:

The Lost Boys should be easy enough as there are "dressing up" outfits there. I am hoping that Zooballoo has a crocodile too.
His birthday card is going to have to be very long :blink:

Crikey it must have taken you ages to find all the bits, but the result is amazing!

[tracygough]

Tracy - I've just ordered some Rista dew drops - aren't they great? I saw some used on a project in a magazine quite a while ago and couldn't find out what they were. Do you just use a glue dot to stick them down?

The ones i have are called Zoomz from Stampgalaxy and i stuck them on with Scotch scrapbooking glue, but glue dots would be perfect.

[SamG]

Sharon there is an alligator on zooballoo, but I'm sure nobody will know the difference!!! :D

[Barmy]

Hi all! Sorry I didn't get back to you last night - went to Ballet and was going to go back on puter when I got back, but it decided it was too hot and shut down!! Everyone's been making some fabulous stuff. Everything looks really great. i hope you've all had good day. Sorry you're feeling rough again Tracy and Sam :(.

[Auntie Frankie]

Thanks for the comments girls. My friend was really chuffed with her book so it was worth the time. I just need to put in a little more practice.

Great LO Annaley and the Leprachaun is really cute. I think that is one of my fave accents from AE that you've used.

Tracy - I've googled zoomz and rista - are they the same thing?

They look the same to me.
Over on the Cricut message board they are all going mad over things called Skittles, these look the same too.
I got my Zoomz from Stampgalaxy.

[Emmyloo]

Heyhey peeps!!! Nice to see everything getting back to normal, only 5 pages to read through.... LOL!
Not normally on here on Tuesdays, but too many peeps are on our quiz team, so dropped out for the night! Not too sure what Im going to do, I like to watch a dvd while I craft, but my Doctor who wont work in my pc, only downstairs!!! I really need to repot my cacti too....

[tracygough]

These are both fab, it's so nice to see what you're all making.

I'm going to bed girls. My back is bad today. I'll catch up with you all tomorrow. I am itching to get into my new stamps - but they'll have to wait. I'm going to order some stones tomorrow as well.

[tracygough]

Goodnight Barbara.

[AmyMackin]

[Red Barron]

[Ali M]

[linbob]

[linbob]

[linbob]

[Red Barron]

morning all

[SamG]

What a pain about the kids being off tomorrow, what you going to do? Hope the weather is better, we got wet going to nursery too.

Hallm*rk always ship quick, I've been trying to resist Home Accents and Doodlecharms, but have joined the Cupcake ATC swap and there's a lovely cupcake on Doodlecharms isn't there.......?!

[linbob]

cupcake ATC swap? what do you do in that? what does ATC stand 4?

[Lesley Florence]

Morning..havent been around much lately but have just caught up. Lovely cards and los ladies..
I had a few carts as gifts for my birthday and spent all day making pohhs and Princesses..
My ohs found a really nice lady in the uk who sells carts cheap..dearest is £36..
BUT i cant find anywhere that does the big 12x24 cardstock other than the cricut stuff.Anyone know of anywhere that does just the black please?
Lx

[cornish lady]

My ohs found a really nice lady in the uk who sells carts cheap..dearest is £36..


Sounds like the lady I buy mine from, is she in East Yorkshire?

[Lesley Florence]

Yes her names Eileen and my oh got 4 from her for my birthday..Im hoping for dreams come true in the next couple of weeks as ive hinted..he suprises me with them every couple of weeks..lol..

[SamG]

cupcake ATC swap? what do you do in that? what does ATC stand 4? Its in the Swaps Forum. ATCs are 2.5x3.5inches and they are mini works of art (bit like mini cards) and you swap them and build up a collection. Go and have a look. I've done 2 swaps so far and wasn't sure I was going to do it again but saw the cupcakes!

Lx Glad you had fun with your new carts - are you going to show us what you made?? :) I'd like to know where the carts are at that price, can you please PM me?

I ordered the B&W pad from Crafts U Love yesterday, there is another site with free P+P but their stuff seems to be more expensive.

Postie just been, I have 3 more embossing folders for my cricut and some Disney Cars paper and stickers. :D

[cornish lady]

Yep, that's the lady. She lovely, isn't she.

Takes about 2 weeks to get here if not in stock, but a great price and no worries about customs or anything.

[Lesley Florence]

I got the black and white card from CTM but i was just hoping to buy just black.
I paid £15.95 for my pad which isnt too expensive really.
Have pmd you the site
Lx

[SamG]

Thanks Lesley. I think mine was £15.00???? I'm hoping it will be here tomorrow.

[tracygough]

Morning all, i'm off to the Docs in a bit as i now have ear ache, so hopefully i'll get sorted.

[linbob]

aww tracy sending hugs :wub:

[Red Barron]

aw Tracy sending you ((((HUGS))))

[linbob]

just brought a pack of 12x12 mats for £11.99 with free P&P

[SamG]

Is that the place Tracy said yesterday?

Did you go and look at ATCs?

[linbob]

yes sam i did look at the ATC'S dont think im good enough for that yet though :(.

i got my mats from evil b*y thought that was quite good?

[linbob]

sam you need to make a blog:D

[SamG]

No thanks, Daren was asking me if I had one the other day, but my life is so boring who's gonna want to read it???!! :lol:

You are good enough for ATCs, why don't you have a go at making a few and we'll do a swop between us?

Some of the ATCs I received in the swap weren't that great at all. :unsure:

I really need to get my bum off this chair!

[linbob]

No thanks, Daren was asking me if I had one the other day, but my life is so boring who's gonna want to read it???!! :lol:

:wacko::rolleyes: what would i need to do/have for the swap? a-z pls :D

[SamG]

No sorry, not doing a blog. You all know what I'm up to coz I tell you on here!!! :D

:wacko::rolleyes: what would i need to do/have for the swap? a-z pls :D

Its easy, go and read the ATC forum. Get a piece of card (2.5x3.5" - the size of a playing card) then decorate it. Put your details on the back and then we'll swap. Thats it. Easy. :wacko:

[SamG]

Oooh, real postie just been (other was parcel man) and my Rista dew drop's have arrived already. :D Thats really great service, think it was less than 24 hours from ordering.

Better go and make some cards! (or ATCs?)

[jackie40]

Cornish lady - thanks for the PM.

[LynGregory]

Morning all!

Haven't been on here in ages and even then I was a newbie so I'm sure many of you won't even recognise my name??!

Had a splurge a few weeks ago and ordered 10 carts from the US to boost my collection (am now up to 19!) and my order arrived yesterday so I am just having a play with my new ones..........using Mickey and Friends at the mo and loving it!!

Hope to pop in much more often and really get to know you all :)

[muppsey]

Hi all
Lyn - that was quite a splurge!

Just popping in to keep up. Off to school soon to do the kids workshop with them.

My kids are off tomorrow and the weather forecast looks pants. Mum has been having a clearout and has passed her Kenwood big mixer onto me so I am planning a cake making sess with them. They love it but the mess is something else!!!

They have been going on about having an indoor 'campout' for ages. So I've bought two cheapo tents from town and are planning a camp for tonight. I'll take some pics and use my new Camping cart. There is method in my madness!

Hope your ear isn't too bad Tracy. Ear infections can be miserable.

Bought some Basic Grey papers which were on sale in our local shop. Man in the shop was one rude b*****d though so they've had my custom for one last time. Papers were a bargain though.

Right I'm off to school, catch you later.

[SamG]

Hi Lyn, I remember your name! :D

Wow, lucky you 10 carts!!!! Hope you're going to show us what you're making?

See you soon.

[SamG]

Have fun at school Barbara and with the camping. Look forward to seeing pics/LO. :)

I hope you were suitably rude back to him. :angry:

Are you back yet Tracy? How did you get on?

Lin - are you making ATCs???? :)

[linbob]

hi sam and barbara

no sam, looking at the paper doll cart, and looking on google for ideas lol

[SamG]

Did you look on the UKS ATC gallery?

Just do it like a mini card. :)

[linbob]

yes i looked there and omg, i could never do anything like theres omg.

yeah easy for you to say " just do it like a mini card" omg do you not know what your asking me omg :lol: i find it hard to do a birthday card for a 7 year old never mind mini cards :lol: there is no way im going to find little bits to put on them.

come on then sam show me one of yours :P

[SamG]

Have emailed you.

[lisa71]

Sounds like the lady I buy mine from, is she in East Yorkshire?

would you be kind enough to pm me addy please

[linbob]

sam they are fab babe,

[SamG]

I only made the one at the bottom left, the others are ones I received in the swap. Sorry for pic, but I couldn't be bothered to get them all out of the plastic holder!

R U gonna do one?

[Red Barron]

aw Samg can we not see ur atc,s hun

[linbob]

i might make one for me and see how it turns out lol if any good will join in the swap lol

[SamG]

Ok, do you just want to swap between the two of us first? I don't mind. :)

[linbob]

yer ok then you can see how bad i am lol

[muppsey]

I'm back, spent the last hour touch typing with five 8 year olds. Bliss.

Sam - show us all please.

Linda - have you tried page maps for ideas? They are basically sketches of LO and card designs but she has some tag ones which are sized well to be ATC's. I'll pm you the addy.

[SamG]

Awww, bless. How long have they been learning? I'm so glad I learned to touch type, I can't bear to watch Daren try and type!!! :lol:

Can you PM me the addy too please? ta.

Here's the Magnolia ATCs I received in a recent swap, mine is the pink/green one bottom left. Its not a great pic....

[SamG]

I have a CJ that I was supposed to post beginning this week and I just can't get the LO to work. Am really fed up with it. :( I'd planned it all and it just didn't look right when I went to put it together, I find it so hard when there is no picture to work with - might have to find a picture that suits the page. My CJ group are great though, have until next Monday now. :)

[linbob]

thanks for the pm sam and barbara :wub:

[muppsey]

Sam,
the ATC's are great. I like the stamps. Jude (Hollybank) was using one at crop last weekend and it was lovely.

[SamG]

I have quite a few of them now (and Sugar Nellies) - very addictive!

I was just looking in your gallery, is the flower on the Eeyore card cut on the cricut? I'm thinking it looks like a QK die I have (and haven't used! :unsure:)

[muppsey]

[QUOTE=

[SamG]

Thanks. I think it might work with my QK die though. :D

I got my Quick Cards mag today and opened it to see you in there! I didn't realise you won 2 prizes!

[muppsey]

:wub:Thanks, I'll have to get a copy. It was in Cardmaking and Papercraft last week. :wub:

[SamG]

I know, I saw you there too!!! :D

[muppsey]

Fame at last. Ha Ha!
Right off to school (again) to pick up the kids.
I need to make a Christening card for Sunday and my brain has stalled.

[linbob]

It's a Sizzix/Ellison thick cuts die - Daisies

[MUMFY]

.............OMG........ I've been spending !!!:nono::nono:
Have only gone and got myself a cuttlebug !!..and the tinkerbell embossing folder...you just gotta have 'tink' !!
and ..the build a flower set
and...cars dies
well.. paul did say I could have one
bit p**d though ,paid 56.00 for cuttle and down the road 49.00 :(:(
oh well.... that always happens
now where can i hide this lot ?????:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

[tracygough]

Hi,
Went to the quacks and i do have an ear infection and have been crying in pain most of the day, just thought i'd let you know that's why i've not been around today.
Catch you all soon.

[linbob]

aww tracy, hope you feel better soon, its funny how an ear infection can make you feel so crap, sending you BIG {{{{HUGS}}}} :wub:

[linbob]

mumfy - looks like you had a big shop around, dont you always find you buy something thinking it's a good price buy it then on the way home/pass a other shop what ever you will always find it cheaper than when you just brought it. if my hubby finds this is the case he will go back to the shop he brought from and ask for a refund or ask for the differance back :lol: and he always gets what he wanted at the price he found it at men :D

[Barmybird]

Hi Girls,

Tracy, sorry to 'hear' about your ear infection, I've had it too and I just can't shift this flippin cold either so we must all have a similar 'bug' oh god I'm just soooo funny, NOT!! hope you feel better soon hun.... big hugs from me too!! :wub:

Lin, how you doing hunni, havent spoken to you for ages and havent managed to catch up on all the goings on, but hope the building works are nearing completion now and the family visits went well for you all.....

well done everyone else for all the fab cards and stuff you've all made, my wedding card was well received and I'll be very lucky if I ever see any money for any of the cards I've made for them, but hey ho! these things happen!! :wacko::wacko:

[linbob]

Sandie :wub: hunni

hi hun, how are you apart from the "bug":lol::lol:

yep the building work is looking good, the outside almost finished then its the plastering in side etc still loads to do really.

did you see the tilda card i did :lol: (its on my blog) its for my DD and DS friend.

glad your wedding card a big hit, dont you find ppl ask you to do something then dont pay 4 it makes you :angry:

[linbob]

Sandie, how come you have no pics in your gallery?

[SamG]

do these wrk on the cuttlebug? or r there dies like these 4 the cuttlebug? Yep, you really need to send Angus into the loft to get the instructions! You can use it for all the dies on the market.

Oh Tracy, so sorry to hear about your rotten ear infection. I hope the meds work really quickly. I'm feeling a bit better today, although not so great as the day wears on. :(

Ooooooh someones been spending Mumfy! Whatever you do don't buy an embossing folder, I've got 10 now! :huh:
Lin - Daren is the same, he always asks people for a deal, in fact his nickname is Do a Deal Daren!! :lol:

Hi Sandie, I sometimes have that problem with my Mum, but only coz she's so forgetful! She's babysits for us quite often though so I don't mind too much. One of my friends sends me a cheque as soon as she gets the cards I've made. :)
A good tip is to put the price on the back of the wrapper, then there is no doubt that they owe you money! They wouldn't just pick a card up in Clintons and walk out would they???!! :angry:

[linbob]

ohh i see, ok where can i buy them sam

[SamG]

Everywhere!!!! :lol:

[linbob]

i did a search on evil b*y but they dont look like the one barbaras had:(

[SamG]

Is there a crop near you? Perhaps you could go along and see what the other crafters have. Such a shame you're so far away. :(

[muppsey]

do these wrk on the cuttlebug? or r there dies like these 4 the cuttlebug?

Just tried it. Works fine with both 'B' plates. Do you want me to cut some for you?

Tracy - hope the AB kick in soon. Try a heat pad next to your ear. You may get some pain relief from it. Sending my best wishes.

[linbob]

there is but they only do it at 3pm and i cant go as i have to get the kids from school :(

[muppsey]

i did a search on evil b*y but they dont look like the one barbars had:(

My nephew calls me barbar. I was insulted at first as baba is an elephant! Now I just think it's cute and quite like it.

You can buy them from the Ellison website. They were having a sale. Not sure if it's still on though.

[linbob]

[QUOTE=muppsey;4892290]Just tried it. Works fine with both 'B' plates. Do you want me to cut some for you?


would you mind? looking for the folder now :D:D

[SamG]

[muppsey]

Mumfy - there should be a warning on this thread. It is all so collectable. Enjoy your goodies and USE them.

[linbob]

Barbara what was the folder called? for the flower

[SamG]

Leicester or northampton are near me, but just looked and they start from 2pm to 5pm i have to get the kids at 3.15pm and hubby at 5pm, i dont have any family near me to have the kids

Oh what a pain, mine is 35 mins from me (not the closest) but its in the evening. Is there an evening one a little further away?

Mumfy - I'm the same as you, bit of a collector!!!

I have been good and made 2 cards using my 2 new folders today though. :D

[muppsey]

Barbara what was the folder called? for the flower

Linda - it isn't a folder as such. It is a large die called 'flower, daisies'

[muppsey]

I'd better go and start to cook, otherwise there will be a rebellion on the 'campsite'. Tents are up and both of them are making them comfy.

[SamG]

Um, no thanks. :D Although the houses might be a bit cheaper where you are, bit far for Daren to get to his garage!

Does anyone want a 3 year old boy??? Grrrrrr........... (tired from nursery and playing up as Daddy just rang to say he'll be late home and won't see him tonight. Guess who is having an early night!).

[SamG]

[tracygough]

i have been laying on a hot water bottle Barbara, it usually helps, ( i've suffered with ear infections since i was a child), anyway my ear 'bubbled', which had me yelling out in pain, then something popped and it's now weeping, so i have some relief at the mo. I have to keep an eye on it for blood though, as the last two ear infections i've had, i've ended up with a perforated ear drum.

Now stop all this chat, because it's gonna take me ages to catch up.

[linbob]

right im off to get hubby from work back soon :wub: to all

[peechy]

hiya!!!

Been lurking and catching up but never get up to date beforre i have to log off:lol:

[Barmybird]

Sandie, how come you have no pics in your gallery?

Good grief Lin, you don't seriously think I know how to put pictures on my gallery do you!!! I didn't even know I had a gallery, and look how long it took me to figure out the avatar thingy etc I'll have a look later if I can get rid of my headache and see where it is!!
so glad things are coming together now and you'll soon be all straight in the house, it'll be great!! :wub:

just read your post Tracy, oh that sounds painful hun, I thought I'd be a clever dick and held my nose while blowing to help clear my ears, by christ that hurt!!! hope there's no blood hun!!! :wub:

Hi Sam,

Thankx for thinking its ok, I think people assume if its handmade it should be cheap for some reason!! in future I've decided if anyone wants me to make a card for them I'll ask up front how much they want to spend cos at the moment its costing me a fortune! at least if they only want to spend a couple of quid I will TRY and stop myself going barmy!! :lol::lol:

hello to all
the cards that we all make are not hand-made they are hand-crafted - and a fiver is what i charge for commissions but to be honest i probably put two to three hours work in on most and can't possibly justify charging for that time. But then I do do it because I love the challenge - just sometimes the spec is very hard to do.
- two of my most difficult commissions were - a 50th birthday card for a sister in law (not mine) and the only thing she could give me to work on was the fact that she drank cider
- some time and much thought later I could still not get past the first thing that had come into my mind when 'cider' was mentioned - the flippin' wurzels - for those of you out there under 35 don't even read any further - my card is on my blog for those of you who are curious - 1976 was a fab year - red hot summer and happy memories (apart from the wurzels) - anyone who is 50 this year will have been 18 in 1976 and able to legally drink alchohol for the first time - i also made an acrylic coaster to go with the card ... and to bore you further the other was a card for a lady in her late 60's who lives down south and fancied Bobby Robson - who must be 80 if he is a day and Barbara was the ladies name - I'll tak you down the toon' is also on the blog
just had a commission for a lady who's husband is of Greek origin - does anyone know what Happy Birthday is in Greek???
