Making Cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (Part 3)

Happy Birthday Rainmac!

Well, I'm back from the Craft Fayre and made a grand totaly of £18.50!!

It was freezing cold, raining heavily and we stood there from 9am until 3.30. Although lots of people were coming up and saying how lovely everything was, no one was buying - I ended up selling 4 x pairs of wine glass socks, 4 x coaster calendars and 1 x towel cake.

Everyone seemed to be in the same boat though. Still it was worth the £35 for the stall as it was for the hospice, so I didn't mind freezing for that - lol.

Hope everyone else has had a good weekend.

Thank you Rusty, Kim & Choccy!

What a shame Sally after all your hard work but, as you say, the hospice will benefit.

Think I have about 80? I started off by buying the packs of 5 pens from Joanna sheen, then I slowly added more, then once I had got all of the basic packs (hues, pastels, greys, skin tones, skin accents and brights) I then decided that I needed some ppurples and orange's so I bought some single ones then Just kept my spreadsheet up to date, I still don't have all of the old set and I only have 5 pens from the new range of colours. I might have to buy myself another set

I know a couple of people have bought them from amazon in different packs (10's and 12's I think?) so it is really down to which colours you really want?

I have a set colour which I use for bears (vanilla) a set colour for skin (blush) and then I mix and match other colours!

Sally - sorry to hear your fair didn't go to plan hope you are warming through now!

Sorry Alyssa, not sure what they are?? never used them myself.

Does anyone know the cheapest place for A4 card blanks? or do you think it would be easier to make them myself? they are for the childrens christmas cards I want to make for the family. They have to be A4 otherwise what I plan to do with them won't fit on the cards!
