Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

The one's I've bought have always matched quite well. If you are worried you could take the paper with you to a shop.

Just wanted to pop on and say hello, been at my mum and dad's all day with the boys, it's my dad's birthday today so we've been indulging in cake and nice things! Haven't caught up here or on blogs yet.

I fell off the stash free wagon with an enormous bump over the weekend as I have ordered some stamps from a lady from the Cards For Men DT who has just set up her own online craft store. She was offering free p&p over the weekend and I got rather tempted - oops!!!

Hope everyone's ok xxx

I don't have a shop to go to so it will have to be online.

It was me! I got mine from Capture the Magic. I visited them, but their postage is only £1.75 which is pretty good!

You get the straight and Victorian blade with it. They have loads of others for £2.95 each.

My friend has been crafting for years, and she went on a crafting holiday. Everyone used her Woodware trimmer, and at the end of the holiday they visited Capture the Magic and every single one bought one of the Woodware trimmers, despite having another brand already! She was the one that suggested I get the Woodware one.

Also - Capture the Magic have a really nice shop near Cambridge. They do crafting parties, which are free. You get a table in the shop, with all sorts of supplies. You then go shopping, making a list of what you take. You make whatever you like, and the end go and pay for it. They give you free tea and coffee, and supply lunch (but not sure if that's free.) They make their money because out of the party of six crafters that went, they spent £700 between them!

I went last week and spent £100 easily.

hello everyone,

I'm just popping on to say a HUGE HELLO, We are having a great time, but are shattered, Legoland was manic today, and the queues were horrendous, but the children had a ball and tomorrow when we go back we have got the qbot so that should make things a bit easier for us,

That trimmer looks great I was looking at the purple cows one with different blades, but will have to see how the cash flow is when we come back from holidays,
hope your all well and hugs to any one that needs them
