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

jamtart6

does anyone know of anywhere good to sell craft stuff in all seriousness? i know things like cuttlebugs will keep their value on eBay, but I have sooooooooo many papers and die cuts I'll never use I'm wondering whether to sell them. It's not worth selling each paper individually, but any ideas folks?

etsy is pretty good.obviously you'd have to set how much you wanted to sell it for.

Marg - minted lamb casserole .............sounds lovely. Must tell OH as he's head chef seeings as I'm c**p anywhere near the kitchen.

Got to scroll back now and find those links melissa put up.............really must get head into gear.........:rotfl:

Oooo Minty Lamb Casserole sounds delish... we had sausage & mash, I really fancied it after Melissa mentioned it the other day I can't remember the last time we had sausages.

Have been looking at buying some more nesties and DH wants me to have a quickutz silouette die cutting machine, I suppose in someways it makes economic sense but I'm a bit scared to spend that amount and then be too thick to use it. Does anyone have one?

Marg my cold hasn't been bad, more sinusy and then worse at nightime, at least I get the big bed to myself. DH is in the spare room, he can't stand my snoring lol My ribbons were mainly wide ones and not much use for cards I will have to use them on presents instead of the papery ones.

Popkins its good to see you back, sorry youve not been too well, hope you are fit for the NEC I'd love to meet you. My friend suffers with fibro and I know its not nice. (((Hugs)))

Jamtart why don't you join the next stash swap on Crafty Place. I have only done one but its great fun getting something mysterious through the post. Its a lovely way to get new stash.

Jamtart - you could always offer them for sale over on CP too.

As for the ATG I love love love it already! Just made a birthday card for my niece and I love the fact that you don't needto apply any real pressure. I had a delicate decoupage and just held it in mid air to apply to the back. It's brilliant. For £36(inc pand p) I got the gun and 440m of tape! About 36 normal ones at over £2 each makes this a fab bargain.

I've only ever ordered from them once and I guess the loooong delivery time was what made me not place an order with them though... maybe other people will say they got theirs superfast?


The £1 ones that were £5?

I was really excited about mine but I didn't pay postage and thought they were lovely- however I haven't bought any of them before so maybe they are usually a lot better I wouldn't know?

I wasn't disappointed though... well I was with the ribbons for the challenge.... I only have red and pink ideas in my head so I'm defo going to be the worst of the 10 :rotfl:

my ribbon packs arrived today too, I wouldnt say I was disappointed for £1 a bag but I'd have been very upset had I paid £5 like they usually are!

Do you have a list of things you want to sell and rough prices? I know you have lots of lovely stuff but maybe you could post some bits up on your blog?? I for one would be interested in seeing what you have for sale

Thanks for all the ideas! I wil lhave to check out the crafty place more methinks

Also good idea about the blog Rusty, never thought of that (despite currently living on Blogger site!).

Do you think little mini-sets or individual things would be better?

I hasten to add, the "stash" will most definitely have a vintage theme too it (aka bought a while ago!) but lots of the stuff has been "retired" I think.

Hmm good thinking batwomen!

i would be aswell lol
