Dingle - I LOVE Stamping Up!

I use 350-400gsm for my cards, although less is fine. I get Cobra Smooth 'board' and it is fab! If I am doing loads of matting etc, I used a lighter card, but the Cobra is great for a stamped card.

I am here too. Gave cards a miss for a while, while I was addicted to beading lol. Back on cards now.

I just looked on your Folksy page...wow, what a diverse collection! Fab.

Look forward to seeing the finished result!

I seem to have been drawn back into the card-making side of my crafting. Beading is taking a break for a while, although I am still getting my two fav. mags to see if anything grabs me! Will hopefully be more active on here from now on.

I lost my mojo for a while and then started a job. I got very depressed for a while and, although still beading, didn't do anything about posting or selling, other than on FB. I have now set up the basics of an Etsy shop as I was not selling anything on Folksy. I just can't seem to go ahead and stock it! I also need a decent banner as I don't want to look unprofessional. Photographs of my items also could do with improvement.

Lots to do! How are all of you?

Dingle - they are lovely! I made some several years ago. I used acrylic paint and standard varnish. I know what you mean about the paint not seeming to stick, but it does eventually. Mine lasted until last year - approx. 14 years!
