Dior, no problems, will eagerly await Mr Postie with my camera at the ready!

Marne and Coral, I haven't made my card yet but will do it over the weekend and get the B&Ps out 1st class Monday morning. Seem to be spending half my life down the hospital with DD ATM!The rest of the time I am so shattered I fall asleep on the settee!

pootlepod · 08/10/2005 12:55

Whizz, they have arrived- thank you.

AuntyQuated · 08/10/2005 15:55

Whizzzz....mine are here too? So you can put up the pic.

Pootlepod.....I have made mine with your B&P.

AuntyQuated · 08/10/2005 15:57

oooo...just found one red stone too. 7 bits in total ...is that right Whizzz? i don't want to throw anyhting out by mistake.

pootlepod · 08/10/2005 16:11

Can't wait to see it AQ.

I have been making pink Christmas cards!

AuntyQuated · 08/10/2005 17:00

whizzz...i have finished yours now too.

PP-- did you use versamark ink for the stamp or just straight embossing ink? it is really effective.

now i am off to make my own and get the B&P posted off to marne and ucm. watch this space

Whizzz · 08/10/2005 17:01

Yes AQ & PP - you should have 1 red stone each !

(actually I wasn't sure if I should have given you more than one - there is 1 on my card but wasn't sure of the 'rules' )

I will put up my B&P pic then !

AuntyQuated · 08/10/2005 17:03

i have used my one red stone Whizzz. i used everyhting but messed up with one piece and had to replace it with an identical piece i alraedy had. i have added some paint/glue type stuff

Whizzz · 08/10/2005 17:08

I feel all Christmassy now !
Might go & make some more whilst I'm in the mood - I fancy making some Xmas Jewellery cards

(I'm addicted to beads !)

undercovermum · 08/10/2005 17:30

Whizz, is that cork I see on your B&Ps. I am looking for some to make a champagne cork for an 18th card. Where di you get it.

AuntyQuated · 08/10/2005 17:33

it is speckled paper UCM. i can pop some in with your B&P if iy will be useful

undercovermum · 08/10/2005 17:49

Thanks but I really need a thin sheet of cork. I want to do a dark green bottle neck diagonally from side of card and have a cork and lots of little gold 18's flying out. Was thinking about trying to slice a real cork but DH said I would have my fingers off!!

Whizzz · 08/10/2005 17:52

slicing a cork doesn't work very well (or it didn;t when I tried !) - you loads of little bits of cork falling off !

It is sort of cork - ish looking - I have loads if you want some CAT me your address

Whizzz · 08/10/2005 17:53

It was a pack I bought from Paper Mill Shop !

Cheers luv.

pootlepod · 08/10/2005 18:57

AQ, I used an clear embossing pad and then evergreen embossing powder.

Undercover mum I have got some thin cork 'paper'- can't remember where I got it from, though I have posted about it in the past.
