Oooh love that card Alison. Those stars are so nice, I wish I had stars like those. I love the dotty paper, whose is it please? Such a great guy card, I am so bad at them, I really love that and it fits just about any age. Can I lift it please?

I have about 30 embossing folders, I love having embossed backgrounds. Sometimes, when a card looks flat all it needs is a bit of embossing. I have A4 designs which are useful for cutting for large cards, I have a variety of smaller in a variety of designs, Christmas, floral, butterflies etc... and also some border embossing folders. Better get more white card stock!

Denise, don't buy any more until you see what the rest of us have got, unless of course you just want an excuse to buy stash.

Thanks for the card comments. It's based on a card design I found several times on Pinterest so 'lift away ' !
Your stars are nearly ready, just need to do your hexagons
I did buy a Winnie the Pooh embossing folder the other day, haven't tried it yet

Re embossing folders... Susie, I wouldn't expect anything less!!
Nice lot you have got there. I will have to look at mine. I don't have that many.

Thanks for that Alison, I will lift it as well

FYI, The background paper on my card is from a 6x6 pad I've had for ages MME Moments.

Ladies, we'd be lost here without you two keeping the chat going !

Lol..so true Alison, I disappear for a couple of days and I'm about four pages behind!
Some really wonderful cards..love the 60th one Alison...and the High Tea one of course Ellie
I have the WRMK stamp positioned but I'm not very familiar with it yet. It's quite good though.
I have a few (!) embossing folders but rarely use them..I'm happy to do some though once the die swap is over..which reminds me I must post yours tomorrow. I didn't go out today after all.

I'm gonna take that as a compliment Alison!

Goes to show how handy it is to have little pads of paper around and how you can come back to them at a (in my case) much later date.

Let me know how the stamp positioner works Elaine, I was only looking at that the other day after the talk about stamping. YouTube video said that one had a sturdy top but weak base but I saw one on the TV and the base looked quite thick to me, so maybe they've changed it. I think if I had something like that I would love to stamp but as it is I tend to print and then die cut my sentiments. I'll have to show you my boxes of stamps, even I'm not sure where they all came from.

By the way ladies, you are all included in our moment. I think we have a great group on here, thanks Nat!

[RED HEAD]

Morning all.
I'm thinking about a WRMK Stamp Positioner as well.

Well said Susie. Yes, I think we are all good chatters on here,
and I certainly wouldn't make as many cards, if it wasn't for Nats prompts.
Thank you all....
Ellie

Awww..... Group hug back!
I like it..it doesn't seem flimsy to me. I need to really have a go with it to get the best of it but I just don't have time at the moment. Still working on the garden and the contractors are back working on the front now..so I have several weeks left of garden planning and working yet.
