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

moyilla

So can I ask you ladies what your favourite online shop is to use?

I have only just discovered craft shops online after only shopping in The Range for my bits.

Have had a busy day day today managed to get 2 card orders done one for a 60th card and one for a bus card they are here on my blog if you want to have a look http://dragonllew.blogspot.com/. Have also been busing cutting all the bits out to make the christening invites just need to stick them all together now.
Thanks princesspoppypop for the information about the bookatrix board I'm not sure how often I would use it so not sure whether it would be money well spent.
Thanks Saveapenny for the bookatrix template I tried searching but couldn't bring anything up, my sister in law is getting married in the summer and need to think of a stunning card to make for them.
Welcome moyilla I don't really have a favourite online shop just tend to use the ones offering free postage or low postage and of course a sale sways me as well.
Furrypig great cards especially your credit crunch card amazing for a 0p spend.

I'm like dragonllew, moyilla, I find the one that's offering free postage as that's quite a saving. However, check this site out www.ukscrappers.c.uk and keep an eye out for the thread 'And now a word from our sponsors' and it will tell you who's offereing what. Some of the sites will give you a points system where you can get money off your next ourchase. One site, I thinks its Cleo crafts (I will check) does a second class postage on small items for 99p which is handy if all you want is an ink pad fir instance

Here is my latest make for a birthday order.
I love making these keepsake cards, just have to finish the box off now but need some acetate for the window in the front of the box.

Lovely card

Read this thread but don't post on it very often. I am going to do a bit of a spring clean of my craft room this week and have decieded to be ruthless. I have items that I know I will never use now as my crafting style has changed since I first started crafting. Normally offer items on craft forum that i frequent but thought that some peeps on here who are maybe new to crafting and dont have a lot of stuff might be interested especially since we are all about saving money when we can on here. If anyone is interested then let me know and I will send you it when I do my big tidy.

hi furrypig - the card is made from a template- have pm`d you.

The dog card is a really cost effective card to make as it only requires 1 full sheet of A4 card, some card off cuts for the other bits and some googly eyes ( I get mine from Hobbycraft for 99p)

I`m trying to make some different cards up with a bit of a novelty factor.
