I'm still here, reading.

Pap, does embossing powder go off? I've finally started sorting through my craft stuff to ebay and thought I'd start with the card making stuff that's christmassy. Really need to raise some money for various unexpected expenses.

It shouldnt do Ames, unless its been stored in a moist atmosphere. Try a patch before selling to see what happens. I am slowly getting rid of all of mine too but some I wont be able to sell so I am giving away free. Need to keep some though untill I finish all the circle journals I am in :rolleyes: If you are selling on ebay I would do bulk lots as they sell better than individual items

Ames

Oooh, ok, do you mean just the embossing powders? I think I'll do them and the ink pads as lots, but not sure about the stamps and punchers. then there's the drawer full of blank cards/card cello bags/ bits of ribbon... then all the jewellery making crap....And then there's the cards and jewellery I've already made, no idea what to do with them.

Then keep writing it down - and with figures.

Yeah you could do, if you have a heat gun you can do the powders and gun. Stamps depending on the manufacture can be done as singles or lots but I would certainly do the punches as singles unless they are the tiny one you can pick up for pounds. The cards and cellos you can do togetether if bags fit the cards and as for the ribbons and odds and sods you can do as one big embelishment lot.

You could list what you have made on ebay but the market is already saturated on there. Maybe you can send the cards to papermaina/creative magazine for the Marie Curie campain? Or give them to your charity shop stating they are handmade?

I have finally got my 'stuff' down to two boxes plus my Tim Holtz binder filled with stamps (out of there packets). I have earmarked some stuff to put on ebay in the new year but most of it will be listed on a craft website I post on as free to good home, as long as they cover postage :rotfl:

Ames

Thanks, I'll do it all like that then.

I think I'll take the cards to a charity shop, the bits of jewellery when I've sorted I'll probably offer on here as kids stocking fillers.

I could almost cry at the amount of money I spent on stuff (it was a manic episode) and how little I'll get for it. I've got a set of hand made glass beads that cost me £21, I wont get anywhere near that now.

Ames, why do you clear them out now?
