we're having a card party in a few weeks so I'm trying to come up with new ideas
this is my latest
I've made these cards and will make some more boxes
people ( if anyone actually turns up lol ) can then choose 5 cards ( different designs if they want ) and a box as a package
at the moment they're all easter cards but will make some other occasion cards up as well - all in very simple designs so that they're quick ,easy and cheap to make
I was thinking £3.50 for the package
what do you think pricing isn't my strong point lol
too cheap , just right ????

Sounds good to me JHB

I bought some MS punches too were they from QVC Now if i could remember to measure the paper and cut it to the correct size before i start punching around it... I might be able to do it :rotfl:
I got the double loop around the page set, a deep flower punch and the butterfly punch with stamping bits The stamping bits keep falling off my mount too

I think I would struggle with the round the page ones. I saw them in my local craft shop yesterday - £28! :eek: The Nellie Sneddens look like a cheaper alternative, but I guess you're limited size-wise then. I do think the punch and stamp sets look interesting. My wish list so far for the NEC (if I have any money) is Nellie Sneddens, a leaf punch (something like this one), and distressing inks. I've never used distressing inks, so would have to watch a demo first
