You are becoming a prolific card maker Elaine. Tonight I was looking for a sheet of card to make the baby's card which I just haven't had time to do. I came across so many half finished cards, all different techniques and styles and hubby couldn't understand why they were there. I really do need to get the boxes out and sort them again. I get so far with a card and then change my mind and make something else.
Anyway, I couldn't find another sheet of this card so I've been trying to scan it but the scanner isn't working now. In the end I just copied it and it has worked really well using Epson's own software. Now I'm going to print off a selection so I always have it to hand and I'll keep the original piece of card to use again and again.
Wow, there have been some wonderful interpretations of the prompt.
Yep, there are so many elements in it that it's hard to formulate a plan, but I'm going to use this month's challenge as an opportunity to make a card or two with a sentiment in another language. Just need to get sat down at my craft space and make a start.
Wow, you two are making enough cards for all of us !
Love the cut out design Elaine. Are you using ready cut cards or are you cutting the circles yourself?
I have inherited loads of cards with cutouts from mum, she used them to mount her cross stitch, I may have to copy your idea
Ellie, love all the floral cards, I presume the poppy one is a photo from your garden
Wow Ellie..you are making loads too! Very prolific! Lol
Alison..most are ones I’ve cut myself but the two latest sets of two are pre cut. I didn’t even remember I had them until I was delving for a certain envelope size. I think I got them in a bargain box of bits some time ago. They aren’t great thickness though so I won’t use ink colours on them again as I have realised it had come through on the other side. I’m going to cut a front off another card and stick it to the back of the front so it covers it up. If that makes sense?
Natalie..I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I know most of mine don’t go with the theme but I have an order of 50 cards to make so I’m sure a few more will have your theme in. Lol
Beautiful, beautiful cards Elaine, I adore that last one of the row of three. Is that a printed topper or did you download it and print it? What do you do for inserts just out of curiosity, do they ask for a generic style insert or left blank?
Thanks everyone. It was a really old Pre-printed piece from an old Kaisercraft collection. I think it was called Pitter Patter. I’ve left them blank Inside. They didn’t ask for inserts so I’m not doing them. I’m hoping this will be the first order so if they what inserts I can do them next time.
I’ve done my baby boy ones today. I’ll photograph and upload them tomorrow.
