Making cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (part 2)

rainmac

Has anyone ever bought anything from http://www.crafterscove.co.uk/???

They offer free p&p on everything, minimum order £10.

Saveapenny, you put the idea in my head that I must have a scalloped circle punch and I've just bought one from this site, justified it to myself as it is free p&p

Have a look in the most recent copy of the docrafts magazine as there are lots of fab ideas for mini-books and albums in there. I've got a bit of a thing for mini books at the moment

I'd never heard of them, I did a google search for a scalloped circle punch and they appeared on the first page.

CT19720/ Paddingtondoo - I bought a big bite too. Unfortunately mine was delivered to my Mum's house and she's not visiting 'til March now, so I haven't been able to play with it. I bought mine from QVC a few months ago because they had the 3 easy payments offer on it, plus I got a load of eyelets with it. I think it ended up costing me about 30 quid. I had wanted an eyelet setter for ages, but I ended up getting this because I had real trouble punching the holes on a mini album that I made, and with this you can punch really thick stuff and I think it has a reach of 6 inches so you can use it in the middle of a 12x12 piece of scarpbook paper.

Rainmac - I have never used the crafters cove, but I like the idea of free postage!

Saveapenny - what is pink petticoat stuff???????????

Jerseygirl - I dread to think the money that I've wasted on crafting. I got a flower soft starter kit that I wanted for ages the other month, I used it once and then gave up on it! I have a bind-it-all, but its keeping my big bite company at my Mum's house. I bought them both as my xmas present thinking that she would be up to visit early Jan, but no such luck! I think paid about 33 quid for mine, and I managed to pick up a few covers and wires in a sale, I just can't wait to use it now!

Thanks Melissa75,

Think I will have to get one with that recommendation :rotfl: . Rainmac that website you listed Crafters Cove, just happen to sell one in a combo pack for £24.99 and it comes in a pretty pink box with 400 eyelets, which would keep me busy for a while. Think I can justify this with free P&P
