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

Pink.

Hi paddingtondoo,

Thank you so much for your help with the cuttlebug dies. :A I've bought some things from the website you suggested and I also found this website which I think is pricey enough for some things but for basic embossing folders is the best value I've found so far. p&p is free too.

Can I ask which alphabet you get most use out of? I really like the look of Olivia, but it seems to be one of the more expensive ones so I'm looking at 'you're not the boss of me' and 'red tag' too. I can only really only afford one alphabet, and would need to get my money's worth out of it to justify the cost, so any advice you can give would be really appreciated.

Many thanks,

Pink

Hi Pink, thanks for the link :rotfl: (can't you tell its panto season).
Personally I use hippy chick most as it suits the style of my cards. I've never ordered from them but have bought at the Harrogate card show. Curls and swirls looks lovely but is a :mad: to stick to anything although diamond glaze and some tweezers works.

Typewriter has only been used once as the letters were smaller than I thought but as it only cost me £15 from America it wasn't too bad

But I really really want red tag sale - nearly bid on one last night but was good and resisted :A

Confession here it's not curls and swirls it harmony - doh!!

polly that is beautiful. I have spent all morning making Christmas cards. If I am feeling brave I might put photos on here - they are no where near as good as all of those on here!
