Ta Dah, this is what I have done, - be gentle with me ladies

[ed_blackadder_1]

These are the cards I have made this afternoon, each one gets better, havent finished them off totally as I have some glitter to put on some and some silver or gold pen, but I was waiting for the glue to dry. Its not that easy to see but most of them are 3d and I have had a go at embossing (the bauble and white one) I have really enjoyed myself 5 hours sat to the kitchen table lovely.  What a mess paper and card everywhere never mind I will do it in the morning no one to see it. hah

 Only playing at the moment trying to find my own style.

[stroppy*cow]

Really fab - glad you enjoyed yourself

[ed_blackadder_1]

Thanks Stroppy thats nice coming from an expert, Backs hurting now mind..

[captainbovine]

so most of them are 3d eh? I'll have a dozen then please that's 3 shillings

I just love the bottom right one with the Christmas tree, can I buy some of them then? how much are you charging for them? or are you only making them for you to send to peeps?

they're lovely well done you!!

[ed_blackadder_1]

I thank you, oh I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

I was just doing them to send to friends and family really, never thought about selling them mmmmmmm. Maybe I would make back some of the fortune I spent buying the stuff.

Shillings what are shillings please 

 

[ilove2patch]

They are great. Well done.

[xtf70]

Very good - I'm most impressed

I hope you're still feeling as good about doing them when you're still hoovering glitter out of the carpet at Easter though... (cue voice of experience!)

Well done Ed.....the boys need to go away more often LOL. It is such a lovely feeling to give away christmas cards to friends and relatives that are one offs....much more appreciated. I made some years ago (too many) and still have a stack at home ready to go out this year. Problem is once you have the card making bug it can get a tad addictive.

[**forum-decorum**]

Very attractive and creative, I am sure the CIN seller could do with a few of those, over on seller central.

[dark_castle1]

ed, if those are your first attempt at card making there you have found your niche because they are absolutely beautiful and I am quite sure you could start selling hand made cards.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh don't I've gone all shy now,            

Its just something to keep me occupied and stop me vegging in front of the tv every night.

[captainbovine]

shillings were small round coins that went a **bleep** site further than they do now.........

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh money from the olden times, far too young to remeber that.              

[**towery**]

they look great

can i remind you the chances are that if you are mailing them they'll probably end up as a large letter price

i had to collect the last 2 cards my bro sent me as he just sticks a first class stamp on everything  lol

[captainbovine]

you're fiiiiibbbbbiiiinnnnngggggg

[ed_blackadder_1]

No really, I am too young.          

I started Big school the year of decimalisation boy was that confusing.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Thanks Towery, didn't think of that, would probably have done the same. Trip to the PO then.

[**towery**]

you can buy  1st and 2nd class large letter stamps in books these days

[captainbovine]

my apologies Ed you is a baby then....I is an old chicken (58...ssshhhh)

Hhhhmmmphh this is getting as bad as work, everyone seems to be younger than me.

shilling was 5p, and 3d was 1 1/2p. and you thought you had money then...sigh..
