I have a look in a mo!!!

Really looking forward to the challenge, it's great to have you on boaurd whizz, there are 15 of us now I believe!!!

Dingle · 14/05/2005 08:33

I think my favorite is the natural square, although the little green alien is really fun and made me smile.

I have some cork, I planned to cut sizzix dies with, but I think it could be too thick, I might have to steal your idea and do a cork version, it should work well with copper wire, and I have some little metal buttons, and....

Well done Whizzz!

pootlepod · 14/05/2005 09:25

Dingle, I got sme very thin cork from cotswald keepsakes the other day, I think it will be thin enough to use a punch with, hang on see if I can find a link...

ah-hah, here

Dingle · 14/05/2005 09:32

Is that 8.5x 11 inches or cms?

pootlepod · 14/05/2005 09:36

inches, just went to measure!!

It's basically an A4 sheet. Very thin so hopefully easy to glue.

I thought the postage from them was reasonable though I've only just started to order bits online so haven't got much experience. They had some nice things in the end of line section and elsewhere!

Dingle · 14/05/2005 09:45

another one added to my favs, I will take a better look later, thanks pootlepod!

Dingle - Dd's friend loved the horsey horsey card you made for her birthday! Her Mum said also that it was far too nice to throw away and that she wanted to keep it to get it out for future birthdays so that they could enjoy it over and over again! See - my post dated Weds 4th May 1.30.10pm was right!

The hockey card is much admired amongst the Mums of the hockey players and will be given to the team coach as soon as all the children have signed it. Thanks again!

Oooh. Just had a thought. Is it okay to, say, use it as a screensaver on the home PC or would that be an infringement of any copy right or artist's something or other (insert correct legal term here) that you may have? What do you think? I don't want to do the wrong thing. I'd be grateful for your thoughts on this. I think that if, say, the hockey team were going to use your card in a publicity brochure or anything, we would, of course, ask you for your permission first and, if given, give any credits you wanted. Hmmm. Any thoughts?

Dingle · 14/05/2005 10:16

Oh tiptop, I am so pleased! I don't know what to say about copyright and such,it's certainly not a problem for me. They way I see it it is just more advertising for me and more money raised for the Downs Syndrome Group!But please let me know whatever!

I need to ask a few questions to complete the next part of the order. Sorry!

I have a little bald Rhodri" footballer, in need of a hair colour!

I have loaded 2 fisherman cards in the ALL NEW section of the gallery, would you take a look to see if one of them would be suitable.

I was thinking of making up a rugby shirt, in Neath colour and ...ssshhh...logo! I could hang it on a washing line like "footy shirt" make up a sizzix body, like the hockey players, or just do a random design.

I am thinking of making a glittery butterfly up for Cathryn (I think I have the name right, without looking!) Let me know what you think and I can get the rest of them all finished and posted to you.

Thanks.

Dingle

Have emailed you re the place settings

peckarollover · 14/05/2005 13:43

I have a list of other things that I need.

Do you want to see if there is anything you would/could have a go with? I would rather everything done by the same person if possible - makes it easier that way - plus I like you and can raise a bit extra for downs syndrome.

I need gift bags for the children maybe personalised so they become their place names too.

I would like them in the colour scheme to match the other bits and I will then fill them with goodies to keep them quiet.

I may also possibly need a table plan.

I would also like some little printouts to fit in the silver envelopes with a poem about the lottery cards.

ermmmmm I think that is it!

tiptop · 14/05/2005 20:41

Dingle - I have sent you an e-mail using the e-mail address from when you last contacted me. If you don't get it, let me know and I'll use the one on the back of your cards.

layla · 14/05/2005 22:08

Jayzmummy,your new cards are stunning.I especially love the friends ones.And where do you get the frames from.I have some of those heart clips aren't they gorgeous?I love the bunny one coming out of the pot too.The papers you've used on the friends ones are so lovely,what are they or who made them?

Whizzz · 15/05/2005 13:29

I've discovered Funky Foam !!
See the result in the Gallery - Dippy Dino !!

Dingle · 15/05/2005 14:12

he he he...what a cute face! Great fun card Whizzz!

Carolinett · 15/05/2005 17:10

Love the dippy dino Whizz I'm having problems now I can't choose between the space man or dippy dino. You need to do a card with the spaceman & the Dippy dino call it "Back to the future"

I made a card using funky foam last week but I can't decide whether the gloves look to big against everything else the card isn't fininshed. I've just up loaded it. Can someone tell me if they also think the gloves look to big or is it me being fussy.

Dior
Will you have alook at the card with the dress bag etc & tell me if those gloves look too big

Whizzz · 15/05/2005 19:51

Carolinett - do you mean the black spotty dress one ? The gloves don't look too big but I suppose they are bit bigger tham the shoes appear.

I've also now made a funky foam green alien with a smiley mouth - but I think I prefer the original card version

Carolinett · 15/05/2005 19:59

Big thanks I thought they were too big it was a ste of punches I got from USA bag shoes hat & gloves I thought would have all been proportion
I love the last card I wish I could mix colours together like that I can sometimes but it'more good luck.
There are two cards together on a green mat they are great but whats the gold shape and can I copy please

Dingle · 15/05/2005 20:10

Some great cards ladies, you have been busy!! Put me to shame ATM, not getting much chance to try any new designs.

I have loaded the 2 new one I did for the comp, no luck I'm afraid but I didn't expect anything else so it really doesn't worry me, just good to try out something different, but still not sure about the bold colours....

Dingle · 15/05/2005 20:14

Dior, I agree with Carolinette, love the natural tones on those two together.

Carolinette, the spotty dress is fab, but to make it perfect, yes try to get the gloves smaller! Are they punched, dies, or cut??? I love them!

Carolinett · 15/05/2005 20:35

Dingle they were a set of punches from USA one of each, hat, bag,shoes & gloves with it being a set of punches I thought they would all be in proportion. Not much I can do about it now I suppose I could us the glove punch for a garden theme. Just going to have a look at your cards

Carolinett · 15/05/2005 20:41

Digle
loving them, love the colours and the shapes
Do you now I get more ideas for cards of you girls then I do in any mags.

Carolinett · 15/05/2005 20:43

Dingle forgot to say if you want a dozen or so let me know
