I had an email from this place this morning:
http://theglittergarden.co.uk/index.php
they're having a sale - 25 - 75 % off. To be honest there's hardly anything left in stock, to find out how much the product is you have to click on it - only then will you see the discount. Postage is 2.99. The reason I'm mentionging it is that they have the crop-a-dile for 10 quid which is a great price. They also have a basic grey 12x12 paper pack in the eva range for 6.50.

I have just made this for my lovely friend Lesley, it's her birthday at christmas and a few years ago she decided to have another special day in June, so every year since I have made her a card. Her favourite colour is purple so this will be perfect for her. The Lily of the Valley flower decoupage and dragonfly were from Emma the backing paper from Melissa the scalloped circle from Rainmac and the card ribbon and gems from my stash. Thank-you so much ladies:A

The diamond pop up card was extra easy to make which is why I made 3 in one night I used Bazzill card because it's not that thick so it was easy to fold in the right places. I watched the demo during the day and then had a go last night, couldn't believe I could actually make it. It is really simple.
