Cardmakers - do you fancy a challenge?

169 replies

AuntyQuated · 01/02/2005 20:49

All you have to do is make a card, then post the materials that you used to make the card to the next person and see what they come up with. We will then post up the results to see what different cards we made.

If you use a stamped mage then you would have to send your stamoed image too, but if you used some special paper to cut out a number 8 for instance you wouldn't send the cut-out, just the paper of the same size you used.

Anyway if you would like to join then please email me your address and on the 11th/12th February I will email you the address of the person that you are to send your goodies to. All goodies must be received by the end of February. Then we can post the results mid-March.

shout up if you have any questions.

AQ

dingle, I have just seen that I have some in a kit i brought and haven't used for ages x3
I seem to buy and buy and not even kno what I have. a good sort out us needed i think.

Dingle · 02/03/2005 18:00

I know what you mean, I do know what I have, but just not where I put it!

Just had my craft creations order delivered today, so even more goodies to stash away!

kkgirl · 02/03/2005 21:05

When will we be showing our photos of the finished cards?

AuntyQuated · 02/03/2005 22:12

hopefully after the weekend. not everyone has receievd their goodies yet but they are all on their way (i think ).

as soon as all the pivs are up of the bits and pieces we can put up the pics of what we made with our 'goods receievd' then once they are all on we can put our original masterpieces on!!

does that sound oK?

Dingle · 05/03/2005 19:34

Yeaaa hey...Finished!

Been fiddling around with the bits sent to me. Lovely pieces, but really difficult working on something that someone else has put together IYKWIM! Has anyone elso found this?

Just fitted a charger/docking station for our camera so I will take picci when battery is charged!

JaysMum · 05/03/2005 20:15

I have Dingle....still messing about with my bits....oh that sounds a bit rude!!!!!

I'm finding it really hard to come up with anything thats a bit different.....I like different!!!!

Will attempt to master my bits tonight.....when I can kick the kids and Dad out of my work room.....they just remembered its Mothers day tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

kkgirl · 05/03/2005 22:14

I've done mine, but found it really hard. In fact my eight year old dd designed it and I have changed it a little bit. Its not too bad, but I did find it hard. In fact being new to cardmaking I find it hard to design cards with the bits and bobs I have got.

AuntyQuated · 06/03/2005 20:57

glad to see you have all been baevering away. i have done mine too and now have 2 orders from MNers...need to get those done this week plus ds is 6 on tuesday and i haven't thought about his yet...any ideas. (he isn't in to any TV characters)

AuntyQuated · 06/03/2005 21:14

Sometimes a think boys cards are more difficult than mens!!

Lucky that my ds is into scooby doo,turtles.etc.I have done cards with these for him. I also had to to a TAz card, that took a while but I enjoyed doing that. I just cut out the shapes and ended up with a 3D Taz.

Congrats on your orders AQ. I was suprised by a call last week from a lady who had recieved one of my cards, she wants my to make 2 naming day cards for a 2 yr old boy!! I've done one so far but I am stuck for ideas for the other one!

Looking forward to deeing all the challenge cards now!

AuntyQuated · 07/03/2005 09:33

not supposed to be here so whispering

how did you get on with the forum search dingle?

must go shopping for the birthday boy---no ideas there either!!

OP posts:
Dingle · 07/03/2005 09:38

AQ, I am going to stick with Carolyns for a while, to see how I like it. Lots of info on there, so it may take me a while!

DS(5) loves his leapster, and his leapPad books. I try to buy more educational things.

JaysMum · 08/03/2005 10:27

Finished my card....at last!!!!

AuntyQuated · 11/03/2005 10:05
