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

bunbun I love both cards, you said they weren't brilliant but I think they are. I also thought they were perfect for the agegroup of the recipients too.

BunBun they are lovely well done...They are both really good but my favourite is the winnie the pooh one as well its just so cute
Odolly...I would but our nearest Aldi hadnt got any when I went in...sorry

hi all! where is the cheapest place to get bulk packs of bazzill or coredinations card stock? thank you

I'd like to know this too, cheers for posting Jammy I've bought coordinations from Hobbycraft at 49-50p a sheet and Bazzill from ebay but with postage wasn't cheap.

Morning everyone, don't know if anyone is around but I am off the The Range this morning for the first time (am quite excited!!) what I really need is a paper trimmer/cutter as I am rubbish at cutting, especially straight :rolleyes: can anyone recommend anything? They have a few trimmers fairly cheap, but don't know if they are worth it? or would a proper guilotine (sp?) thing be better?

I received my basic grey papers from glitterpot yesterday...I didn't realise they came with elements and letters etc... was a nice surprise, just need to work out a way to use them now!!

bunbun2 I love the winnie card too, but then I love anything winnie the pooh...

Dragonflew - I'll have a look for you and see what i can find.

Orchid - the alphabet and elements sheets come in really handy, I have used loads of the letters, they are so nice and thick as well. I use a little fiskars paper trimmer at the minute, its handy for carrying around but I found that the blades go blunt quite quickly. PLM recommended a guillotine - I think it was an xcut one. I might ask for this for my birthday as I think Argos sell them for 20 quid.

Jamtart/ Rainmac - this site is closing down and has a bit of bazzill in their sale, spend under 10 quid and its 1.75 postage,

its 29p as sheet. I've also asked on the ukscrappers forum if any shops have them in their sale, so I'll let you know if any have.

Dragonflew - this seller accepts paypal, and they have some of the 12x12 basic grey packs reduced to 10.99. Its a bit more expensive than the glitter pot, but there's different packs on offer here and its free postage if you spend over 20 quid. I'm thinking of getting a couple of the packs myself:

Here's another one, the packs ar cheaper here:
http://www.creativetreasures.co.uk/store/index.php?cPath=21&sort=2a&page=2&osCsid=8b92059014b3f23f8e653d5686f6b5ba
7.75 each, but they only have two types left in stock.

Thanks for those links Melissa, the next ones I fancy are Phoebe and Gipsy, but will have to wait until next time they are on offer.

Orchid_96 I have a XCut guillotine but only the small one, it doesn't take A4 longways, but it's great for doing matting and layering. I do have the Ultimate Pro which has a cutter in the middle but to be honest it's a waste of time. I still prefer to use a steel ruler and craft knife

melissa I know you are fab at finding the bargains and I wondered if you had seen any KI memories lace cardstock on offer in your travels??

I have seen it for 50 cents a sheet on an americam website but P & P make it dear still unless I do a massive order probably!!

thanks for any help xxx
