awww bless! i'm really happy that i could help out your sister in that respect, i hope having the extra craft items to play with will help take her mind off things a bit, i'm sure she'll really appreciate this gift from you!

you're right many stamps are at least a fiver though i often see them going for more than that. i took advantage of some of those myself! i only have a few ink pads but if you're quick doing it you can use felt tip markers to colour the various parts of the stamps and do a muli coloured version... i have an 8 year old in the house so i have no shortage of felt tips!

You know what...being the non-crafty sister I didn't think of ink pads :rolleyes: have to hope she already has some, sure she will have though. I am really looking forward to seeing this package 'cos I have no idea what half of it is!! :rotfl: Ordered some A4 vellum somethings that I remember her picking up once at a big craft shop...what do they do?

Oh and being a nosey so-and-so I just had to google 'Altered books' and some of them are really stunning...had never heard of them before.

Thanks so much for this, just ordered all the stuff for making my own wedding cards, came to £26 AND that is giving myself lots and lots of options for trying out different styles to see what I like. If they come off okay I should have saved us about £210 based on what we were quoted to have them made!!!

Just placed an order and WOW, tons of things at just 25p including stuff for making christmas cards and spring items. I just got some stamps, ribbon, other fibres, embellished stickers, toppers, tags etc etc for 25p each

they also have a 50p section and a 1quid section. if you're a new customer at first they offer you 5% discount to sign up for their newsletter but if you scroll down after signing up you get a 10% discount if you order by midnight tonight!

Many thanks for letting us know, I love to do some card making/scrapbooking and thanks to you, I will be on a spending spree next week :j (when I say spending spreee, I dont mean that literally cause it wont burn a hole in my purse lol)

i used to do altered books about 6 years ago, i really miss them and now my daughter is old enough i think i'm going to try and get her involved in doing them too. with mad about cards and the really good selection at the local poundmart we can actually afford to do them again!

i was so proud, she bought 2 really nice wee things from the crafts section today with her own pocket money! just wait til she sees whats in the parcel from MAC!

as for the vellum, i vaguely remember, i know vellumn technically is parchment made from i believe goats skin but i believe in crafts it has to do with special paper...like i said it's been a long time!
