Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

wam73

Thank you dragonllew. Wanted to keep posted low but cant afford free at the minute. Got the idea from the people who design the website they are very helpful.
Planning on having some special offers but still have to put a few more things on so it actually has stock lol
Glad it's all loading well.
Just did a pretend shop myself and it all seemed to go alright. So fingers crossed.

Thank you mumoffour. It was a mistake. Should be correct now. That is one thing i'm really worried about as my spelling is awful and I hurry everything. Thanks so much. xx

wam73 Your website looks fab - didn't know you did wool .... (the only thing i did find was the writing looked a bit wobbly if you know what i mean - but it might just be the res on my lappy making it look like that)

Thank you, Thank you.
Just started stocking wool and its all lurvely. I so love wool. It;s my new thing.
Yeah I know what you mean about the writing. I seen that just didn't change it. Will go see now. You get so absorbed in what your doing. I start to get lazy. Really helps with peoples comments.
I'm so glad you like it. x

Gemm - had a quick look on your site and the buttons are fairly large and it was quite slow to load. I love the colour scheme.

Wam - your site loaded fine and was easy to navigate. Well done for clearly displaying P&P costs - I've been known to ditch an order cos I can't be bothered to do a dummy order or search for P&P

Mumoffour - :eek::eek::eek: what have those spendy elves done to you?:rotfl:

Lei & Madfrog - don't think it does zigzag, but then I'm not sure how accurate the description of what it does is. I've just opened it and it has loads of bits and pieces that aren't listed and an adaptor that is clearly stated as not included is there. I only want it for a little bit of stitiching on odd cards, so hoefully it will do the job. I have a full size machine, but can't be bothered to get it out just for a small amount of stitiching. It was from an independant craft shop/warehouse near to where I live. This is it.

Logo looks good, but the photos/images on the front page need to be clearer. I am finding the green text a bit sore on my eyes (maybe just me) But other than that - looks really good

Thanks for your comment. Have changed the Text font but not the colour as yet, Thought it might be better.
The photo's are done on my phone, I know I do need to get a good camera but cant just yet. So they will have to do. Thought they were better than nothing. Will keep all the comments that I cant change n mind for when I can. Thank you all so much. xx

Just put on my new cottons that will be coming hopefully on Friday. Cant wait to see them in the flesh

Wam Well done on your website. It's a nice layout, and you've got a lot of important information on the front page, but like Papillongirl says, I find the photos a bit blurry. Also I'm not sure the font is right (for the green writing in the main part of the page), it's a bit "thin", a different one might be easier on the eyes.

Also, I'm not sure how you've worked out your postage, but at Up to £5 = £1, Up to £10 = £2.50 and Up to £15 = £3.20, if people are looking for the best deal on postage (which I think we all do) then if they want to spend £10 or £15 they will make up separate orders of £5 each if they can as it would be cheaper than the postage for one order, IYSWIM.

OK - question from me. Does anyone know of an embossing folder that can be used in the Cuttlebug that has small hearts on it? I know they do one with bigger hearts in blocks but I have seen one on a card somewhere where it makes a background of small hearts. Anyone seen it?

ETA: WAM - our posts crossed. That font is better!
