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.

Yes it is AQ. That's what I wanted to ask kkGirl when I first received it. I found it really tricky how to use it though. I liked the daisy on the brown fun foam, it really showed up nicely but I didn't want to cover up the lovely cork and
if I didn't put the little daisy on the cork-I was lost for ideas! Can't wait to see the others!
Well done AQ for organising the challenge and for your creation!

Morning girls

I got the cork tag from ebay. It was part of a set I bought, and it also had hessian tags, which were really nice.
I have emailed the seller, who said she would advertise some more, but that the hessian ones were hard to cut. Haven't seen any yet though.
I love the cards they are really good.

morning kkgirl...

Can I scan it into my computer, or do I have to take a photo, save it and do it that way? I'm not very good at technology.

I'll dig out the sellers name from ebay and let you have it

i think you can do it either way but it needs to be saved as a JPG file. i've only done it using a photo as our scanner no longer works.

kkgirl · 13/03/2005 17:31

I scanned it, but when I tried to upload it it wouldn't work.
I will have to take the photo and ask DH how to put it onto the computer. I'm useless at ICT

there are 4 pics now on Yahoo...love gscrym's shirt and tie.

kkgirl, you could try and send it to me but think i'm better with photos than scans. will try tho'

gscrym - did you photo your goodies before you sent them off. think you have told me before but can't remember
do you know who sent to you? i can't remember but could go and search.

gscrym · 13/03/2005 17:42

Haven't a clue who sent to me. I did go to get the bits I had for doing my card but seeing as DH was kind enough to tidy the entire toy collection of DS into my little cupboard where all my bits and bobs are, I can't get to them at the moment.

Will try scaling the heights of the tractor and various Tonka toys. I may be gone some time. If I don't make it back, think of me kindly.
