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

Anyone know what the delivery is like for Craft Superstore? Placed an order with them on New Years day, money taken last Wednesday, no email of dispatch yet.

I placed an order with Glitter pot the same time and the items arrived really quick. Was very impressed with them.

Paper clip - To keep things together when they seem to be falling apart
Tissue- To dry tears, yours and theirs
Pain killer- to deal with those little headaches
Tea bag- to help you chill out when you are in hot water!
Crayon- to add a little colour to a dull day
Penny- for your thoughts

Hand wipe- for those sticky little fingers!
Band-Aid: For when things get a little rough.

Hi

I've used Craftsuperstore a number of times and never had a problem. I placed an order with them last night, and got an email today to say it has been despatched. Usually I've had my ordered goodies within 4 days of ordering. Perhaps you could give them a quick call in the morninng?

I ordered a few bits and pieces from them on 8th January, (Friday). Had an email today to say they had been despatched today.

I ordered a Cuttlebug for my friend on 2nd January, had an email from them on the 7th to say it had been despatched that day. It came by Interlink Express who even emailed on the morning of 8th January to say it would be with me that day between 8am and 3pm. It turned up about 11 am.

Perhaps they're awaiting stock of what you ordered but they should let you know. Give them a ring, they're very friendly.

Wait till you get older, then you'll blame it on the menopause, after that you'll just blame it on getting older :rotfl: .

Ooh, just realised. My DD is 40 next month, she also talks about forgetting things - in between making fun of me forgetting things :rolleyes:. I think I'll make her a "surviving 40" kit. First items in will be pad and pencil to jot things down which need remembering . Anyone got any other suggestions, I really need to make her suffer :rotfl: .

Oooh this is my kind of post - I'm 45 and thought it was all a load of rubbish till I hit the big 40 and things started giving out on me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Let's see:

Toothpaste - for when she needs her first root canal filling.

A pair of reading glasses for when she can't read the small print on yoghourt pots anymore.

Voltarol - for when her back goes for the first time.

Bridget Jones knickers to hold everything in.

A push-up bra for when things start to head south.

Polyfilla for those two lines that appear down the side of your mouth.

I was gutted when I realised that I wasn't immune to being 40 - sob...

If I think of any more, I'll shout,

Thriftyxxx

ETA: I've had no problem ordering with Craft Superstore - order received about 3 days later. I too would give them a ring. Good luck.

Just managed to place another order with Mad About Cards, for stamps. Then realized I haven't got an ink pad, found one I love, then realized the order has to be over £15, so filled the order with pretty ribbon and paper.

Oops.

Morning Ladies

Thanks for this Flourgirl, they've very pretty.

I could probably use those or similar for the table plans, menus, place names etc, however I need to use an awful lot on the invites themselves, (probably about 200 at least!)

I was thinking that maybe I could do something with my Cuttlebug or Cricut machine, then again they've both been sat here for months and never used as I don't have a clue where to start with them! lol

Any suggestions ladies?
