NEW CARD CHALLENGE?????

[Jaysmum]

So AQ....are you going to start this off?????

Mine have been posted so they should be with my challenge chums by the weekend!!!!

Hi all.

STILL not got my card blanks through!
I am going to mkae my card tomorrow night when DH goes off to work, post out on Saturday.

Dingle- hope your mum is ok.

I have been to hobbycraft today and bought some....

BRADS

and lots of other bits..including a watermark stamp pad which I had been coveting for a while......ssshhh

Hi cardmakers, I have received one pack from a CC, AQ says it's from Dior. I've had a busy,busy week and it's dh's birthday tomorrow, so a man's card should be sorted you may think.....NO!
(he's gone to bed, so I can get on with the card for him now) Sorry to my CC's, you are unlikely to receive your b&ps's before Tuesday.
Does anyone know what the postage has gone up to?

first class is 30p, but don't htink it has gone up yet.

got it wrong Hi5, your CC was PP not Dior, mine was Dior -duh!

Got a package today from Jaysmum, don't know why you apologised- knew EXACTLY what to do with that immediately and I loved the colours!
Posted mine today also, so my cc's should get their's in the next 48 hours I hope. Postage WAS 30p - went up this week. Boo.

Punnet......you were sent the revised version......the first card I made consisted only of the small bits I sent you and lots of wire!!!!!!The larger round thing was an after thought.....cant wait to see what you come up with....although I have a feeling it will be very similar to mine!!!!!!

Can't say my card is origianl either, after I made it and scanned it, I kept thinking hmm, if I tore a bit ox X, and added a bit of Y- which i can't fo because I sent you all your packages. But then, I can do it when everything is finished I guess!

Ours probably are similar, Jayzmummy, but I ditched one thing (coz it got stuck in the envelope and I didn't see it until it was too late), and everything i din't stick on I shoved back in the bag and glued inside as a 'free gift'! DH thinks I am nuts, then he started rooting around...

when both of your CCs have received their B&P can you please upload the photo of your B&P here?
you will need to sign in. if you don't have your own ID you can use mumsnetter and the password netters.
Thanks

Every time I try the link I get an error message

if you get an error msg try refreshing your screen - that seems to work for me

Just uploaded a piccie of my B&P's that I sent to Yorkie Girl and Punnet......why hasnt anyone else yet???????

Jaysmummy

I have been very naughty and sloped off to Exmouth on holiday!!!!!!!!!!
I did make my card before I went, but was rushing it and DH said that the linen was all wonky, so I started trimming it and it got worse and worse and ended up fit for the bin!!!
I found two brilliant craft shops in Exmouth, where I spent loads of money, and Exeter has a Lakeland with some crafty stuff so I spent another tenner in there.
Need to actually make some cards now to use up some of the mounting piles of materials.

kk.....DONT tell me theres a Lakeland in Exeter....says she now rushing to get ready and head down the M5 to go shopping!!!!

Bugger wheres my credit card???????

your B&P look very interseting JM

i think you are the only one whose CCs have receieved the goods, so you are the only one ready to post. altho' now kkgirl is back from her hols she will have got hers from dior. so Dior you post her pic if she is ready.

Yet there is a Lakeland in Exeter, its not a huge selection of bits though, depends where you live but I wouldn't make a special journey. On their website at the moment they have lots of bargains, I desperately want to order, but have spent loads recently what with the craft fair and holiday.
Couldn't find a card shop in Exeter, there must be somewhere, found an Art shop with very limited card making, a few punches and peel offs.
In Exmouth there were two shops, with lovely card, papers, etc. I found some cork sheets, and some crocodile paper (not real crocodile of course) but textured. It was brilliant.

Thanks Punnet, received my goods this morning, looking forward to using the brads (I think thay are brads) and doing a different style of card to the one I made up!

Message withdrawn

They're mini brads I think!

That link still doesn't work for me- weird!

got some man bits(oooer) will see what I can make.
