Hi Fifi

I LOVE your card and I'm dying to know what the stamp is and what embossing powder you've used but I can't seem to get the page on your blog to load for me - any other one is fine but it just seems to be this one (maybe its just me!!).

thanks

I have just finished creating 50 of these! They were very much inspired by MargieS (see above) who has kindly allowed me to 'cardlift' if you can call it that - thanks Margie.

What a nightmare the heat embossing was! I could not get the stamp to give a clear image so had to colour parts in with a versamark pen, very fiddly. x x

[Mystik Nat]

Oooh very nice - I like the pearl accent. :)

[GillB]

These are lovely, bet you're glad you've done them now.

[MargieS]

wow they are lovely!!! Esp love the little pearl - finishes them off lovely!!

Ashamed to say Ive only made about 15 of the 60 or so I need - still at least i have another year to get them done :)

[Biscuitlid]

they're beautiful - well done.

I remember when I made some for a friend I had to heat emboss the image - never again! My heat gun kept cutting out to cool down and like you I had to use a versamark pen too. I made 150 and was sooooooooooooooooo glad to see the back of them. I think I even threw the stamp away afterwards so I couldn't be reminded of it!

Your guests will be lucky to receive these

[misteejay]

Thank you Cal, I must say I was soooooooooo pleased to get them finished but it was worth it - niece loved them :)

[Pippin]

Anyone help me with a card blank sourcing question? A firend is getting married and making her own invites. She's seen a card idea she's quite taken by, but it's cut from A3 rather than A4 cs.

I'll try and describe it! It's a square format when closed, but opens up into three, with the bottom section forming a wallet-style enclosure (so you can pop in address details, directions, gift list info etc).

Any ideas?

[Wizbit]

They are usually called pocket or wallet card blanks.. you can get then online or in the big blue craft store.. they are lovely but I haven't decided if it would be easier to buy the banks or make them HTH
