Afternon everyone

Can anyone point me in the right direction for plain vellum? I need it to print my thank-you verses on.

Have looked on craft superstore, QVC, Topaz Crafts and Calico Crafts,

Thank you

They had some on mad about cards in the £1 section yesterday not sure how many sheets or what colours as I wasn't really paying attention

I've been studying the lilliofthevalley site too as it's the last day for 25R% off and should be free postage for all of April. Only problem is I was gonna order 3 stamps, normally £4.50 each but they sell 3 for £10 but that doesn't seem to be working???!!! Thought I'd get 3 stamps then for £7.50 plus was going to buy some of the die cut characters as regretted not getting them at the nec.

Anyone any ideas???
might need to ring them up and ask but I'd better hurry!!!

Here is my latest make.

The suit and dress are hand drawn and cut out by me. The backing paper is from Dovecraft and the backing square is mirrored card embossed using the script folder.

I have added tiny white iridescent flower sequins to the suit and dress.

It was a very enjoyable make whilst watching a good movie this afternoon!

Thanks, rainmac, might have a go at that with my new die-cuts I got this morning. Did you buy the Lily's fairies, they are lovely.

I did get a sheet of fairies. Bought one set from the show at the NEC and love them as they are so cute. I'm hoping to make some sets of cards to give as pressies for Xmas which is why I snatched up this offer today

In Stitch'z are Bazzill's version of stitching templates, similar to the Papermania ones. I have 2 sets of Papermania ones and really like them. I don't like the thread that comes with them so have used embroidery thread instead. I have tried different numbers of strands to experiment with how they look different.

Here are some In Stitch'z templates... http://www.theglitterpot.co.uk/scripts/prodList.asp?idcategory=656
