February cards recieved.

[Glingle]

This is the beautiful card I recieved from Victoria. How did you know purple was my favourite colour? I love the torn edges and the contrast with the glitter card, just gorgeous.

[EssexAnne]

What a lovely card! My favourite colour too!

[Little Jan]

Great card love the colours used

[Victoria]

I have received this 'creation' from Essex Anne - it's definitely more than just a card! Very clever in that it folds flat for posting but then springs up to produce a multi-dimensional creation. Such lovely colours and I hope that the shot from above shows the inner workings! Thank you so much, it's really lovely.

[Little Jan]

What a lovely and very clever creation

[Mitzi]

Both lovely cards.

My beautiful card from Glingle has arrived and I'll try to post a pic later.

LJ, I'm sorry your card is late. I finished it on Thursday but didn't manage to post it on Saturday, after the (stupidly early) collection time.

[Craftysusan]

Lovely cards and I hope you had a lovely day.

[lovepaperstroking2]

[Glingle]

Whenever I've uploaded pics to photo bucket afterwards they give you an option to share it with the Facebook and Twitter symbols etc. The last symbol looks like two links of a chain. If you click on this it will then display different options one of which it says is for forums and message boards, think it might be the last option. If you then copy the text (make sure you copy it all as it usually continues longer than you can see you can paste it into your post. Hope that helps!

[Little Jan]

This is how I upload to the forum from photo bucket
go to rescent uploads click the picture you want, on the right hand side you will get share image and four options
you want the last option click on this and it will turn yellow and say copied
then go to the forum click paste in the section you want to post your picture .

[Mitzi]

I'm glad most of the sequins seem to have stayed on; they were the bane of my life, every time I handled the card a shower of them fell off leaving just lumps of glue!

[Victoria]

What a great card Mitzi. I love the sequins - good idea. Now I've got loads somewhere, I'll have to find them and USE them!!

[Little Jan]

I have the same problem with sequins
I once made a card using loads of mother pearl ones was proud of the card and the sequins had stay put over night
Even with the card in a standing position.
But as soon as I went to put card in the envelope they all popped off

[Glingle]

Absolutely beautiful creations everyone. What glue have you been using to add the sequins with? I've stuck them on in the past with the cosmic shimmer glue and they've stayed put. Not sure if it was just luck or if it was the cardstock I was attaching them to or even the material the sequin was made from that affects it.

[Victoria]

DIOLCH Little Jan. Another original from you. I love it.

[EssexAnne]

[QUOTE=Victoria;343156]DIOLCH

[Victoria]

This is the lovely Butterfly card I received from Fuchara.......

Ps. What die did you use to cut the butterfly with?

[Victoria]

I always like gatefold cards, and this one is especially lovely.

[EssexAnne]

Please excuse my ignorance of the Welsh language! I thought it was an abbreviation of a phrase IYSWIM!!

Me too and I spent two years at uni in North Wales but that was 20 years ago! I think it was the fact that it was in capitals that threw me, honest guv.

That is what threw me too Glingle!!

[Fuchara]

Which butterfly?

[EssexAnne]

Which butterfly?


The actual gatefold card butterfly.

[Little Jan]

Sorry about the capitals I did it to make the words stand out
My daughter also mentioned that I should have not used all capitals
Sorry miss I will try harder lol

[Little Jan]

I agree about the smilies but Graham has ignored Our plea's for the old ones back

[lovepaperstroking2]

Lovely cards everyone.

Is Victoria teaching you a bit of Cymraeg LJ?:bigg2rin:

I have enough trouble with spelling as it is lol(dyslexic)
Only found out when my nephew was diagnosed after he wasplaced in a school for disruptive children
SIL took education department to court and won him a place is a school in Bath specialising in helping
With the different types of dyslexia.
My daughter is also dyslexic but mildly, but is now a teacher but she chose to teach reception due to her spelling issues
Nephew has done well in his career due to the good work at the school as he was talk life skills as well as ordinary lessons
I thought I was just thick after being told I was lazy at school
When visiting nephew at his school they diagnosed me with mild dyslexia too.
Looking back it seems my dad might have been too but it did not stop him being a brilliant craftsman with a fantastic eye for prefection

[lovepaperstroking2]

Glad your nephew and Daughter are doing ok LJ.Sometimes I think that teachers in our day didn't have a clue and could be quite critical and hard on us for not the right reasons.

[Mitzi]

With apologies for the delay, here is the stunning card I received from Glingle. I don't know how she did the red glitter background - applying sparkle paste through a mask? Die cutting from glitter card? Die cutting a sticky sheet and applying loose glitter?

Then there's a heart made of beautiful tiny cream paper roses. They must have taken ages to stick on, (and to make?) but I'm pleased to report that they arrived completely intact and beautiful.

Thank you so much, Glingle, it's still on display in my dining room.

Gorgeous card Glingle.

[EssexAnne]

Spectacular!

[Glingle]

Glad you liked it Mitzi. The background was made with red sparkle paste through a clarity stencil.

[Little Jan]

[Victoria]
