I've just signed up, I hope you don't mind?

I'm quite new to papercrafts (and i love it!) but have been doing pottery for years now and am quite crafty.

Has anyone ever bought little labels to put on the back of their cards from ebay - 'handmade by......' type ones? I think I NEED some but my printer is garbage so I don;t think it would cope with stickers given that it throws a fit if I even dare to suggest printing a digital stamp on a piece of A4.
Rainmac, I think there was one on something you sent me recently. Did you make them yourself?

Hi all,

Long time lurker here coming out into the open - because i want to say a massive THANK YOU to all the wonderful people who post on this thread. Your support for each other and wonderful creativity has inspired me to try my hand at card making and i am loving it!

My creations are nowhere near as impressive as those posted on here because a) i don't have a naturally artistic bone in my body and b) my selection of card making bits and pieces is incredibly limited due to lack of funds atm BUT on pay day i am off to HobbyCraft to stock up and i've also unashamedly pinched lots of your ideas and will attempt to replicate them once i'm stocked up Could anyone give me an idea of the essentials i will need? So that i don't get overexcited with shiny things and end up missing something really important?

I've been becoming increasingly stressed out at work over the last couple of months and have found trying to unleash a creative side i never thought existed incredibly soothing/relaxing!

So once again thank you and hopefully i'll have some pictures to show you all sooner rather then later. x

Mornin Ladies

Welcome to all our new crafters. I hope you all realise this is the least MSE thread on the forum! lol We will soon make sure you are broke but have lots of lovely stash and gorgeous papers to stroke!

Still on with the bedroom, but it looks like it will be back to normal by Saturday and I can get on with some cardmaking and do all my swapy things. I did make a tin up of Rudolph Spares last night so I will post a piccie later on on my blog.

Rusty sorry to hear your tins were damaged, just what you DONT need at the moment. I got the Wedding favour ones from ebay and they are perfect. I also bought the small red choc hearts which are perfect for the tins and they aren't really heart shaped more of a rounded triangle. I will put links and details on my blog.

Paddington Fantastic cards! thanks too for the link to Little Claire, they are going to be at the Dome on Sunday so I will go and have a look (buy) lol

Ali Welcome to blogland, I have become a follower and left you comments. x

Rainmac Gorgeous cards on your blog too. x

Hi DayDreamBeliever welcome to the thread, so glad you have decided to come out of the lurking closet lol. Dont worry about pinching everyones ideas, we are all here to share ideas and suggestions and to help each other spend money!! Watch out for Choccy as she frequently sends round the spendy elves!!

Most of us tend to buy lots online even with postage it is usually cheaper than going to say Hobbycraft. If anyone spots a bargain or discount or free p&p it usually gets posted in a link so we can all benefit. Melissa is a great source of bargain links! Also look on the internet for freebies I will post some links in a minute.
